"Both." He breathes, sharp. "Everything. Anything."

From where he sits on horseback, he lifts one gloved hand, curling his fingertips around nothing at all until they constrict— demonstratively— into a fist of sorts.

"The more wealth one has, the more power one has, the more control they have over everything that surrounds them."

And control is what Astarion wants, more than anything else he could possibly conceive.

In light of Astarion's answer and how much sense it makes, Loki feels a little foolish for even having asked. He desires control over his own life above all else, Loki imagines, even if those aren't the words used. All of that feels impossible, to him anyway, when they could disappear at any moment but he understands. It's the one thing that Astarion has been denied, time and again.

Of course, that would be desirable.

"What do you need for that, other than the financial aspect?"
