DAYDREAM TIME:

Imagine Astor like…interrupting or Saving Elodie from a dangerous situation? One in which she was very vulnerable? And the … image of her so frightened and small and cold like triggers something in Astor that makes him seem / act more feral? But once the danger has mostly passed (though he still presumably has to go like either chase the person away or end them?) there’s this brief period where he drapes his cloak over her and murmurs for her to stay there. She reaches her hand out for him and asks him not to leave but he assures her he’ll be back?

If it’s in Servant’s obvs it’d probably be another vamp almost hurting Elodie and if it’s in BD OBVS another demon or a witch etc.
