[ Xenk pulls him close, leaning into the touch and holding Astarion against himself. It's pretty close to a cuddle, just a very awkward one, but neither of them have a ton of experience to go on here. It doesn't matter -- ultimately the quality is in the intention, and Xenk intends to follow through on his words. He will go to Baldur's Gate, and he will find Astarion, and he'll help him kill Cazador if Astarion hasn't already done it by the time he gets there. ]
I shall look forward to it.
[ Whatever happens, whatever Astarion decides, Xenk will find him. This he swears, and a Paladin's oath is no minor thing. He refuses to abandon Astarion, or leave him behind. If it means devoting however long it takes to find a cure for his vampirism or whatever Astarion decides, he'd do so happily. And even if Baldur's Gate is a murder-infested hellhole, Xenk would make it work. ]
