( If there is one thing Eddie regrets, it's that he didn't try to do more to help Chrissy. Not that there was anything he could do, but if he could do it all again, he would have tried to intervene. He wouldn't have run from her.
If Astarion isn't at the final stages yet, they have time. Twenty-four hours, if he remembers correctly.
So, for as terrified as he is of the possibility that Vecna has managed to find his way to this place, that he might attack Eddie or, shit, Steve next, Eddie knows he must steel himself. With Steve staying in his apartment and (to Eddie's knowledge, anyway) avoiding everyone, that mostly leaves Eddie as the one with the Vecna slaying knowledge. Even if Steve passed his knowledge down to Will, there is no way in hell he's going to drag that kid into this; he's suffered enough already.
He draws in a deep breath and picks himself up again, approaching Astarion cautiously. )
It's gonna be okay. ( Eddie's voice sounds painfully thin, and he cringes at his own sign of weakness. ) I can help, we just...we need to figure out your favorite song.
( Shit, how long can they fend this guy off for? And how are they gonna figure out where his new base of operations is if the Creel house doesn't exist in this city? )
