Whoever didn’t give Astarion any neck kisses in the base game really messed up.

This is so gorgeous!

Look at Cora and the goodest girl Ebony! 💖💖😭 @rooji-r your art is stunning and I love everything about it so much! 💖💖💖 I mean, just WOW!

@rooji-r thank you so much for your work! 🫂💖

In my stories, Cora's abilities as a shadow sorceress are more D&D than Bg3. When I first started writing about a year ago, BG3 didn’t have this subclass, so I went with the D&D description.

Still one of my favourite party banters showing so much of their respective temperament: Shadowheart is first pragmatical, casually thinking about how their adventure would have been easier with good equipments.

Then Astarion rules out her ideas, complaining about horses because of course he would complain about animals - especially domesticated horses who, apart for their so-called bad temper, stand out as submissive mounts who willingly obey their riders. Do you see why he may not look at them kindly?

But Shadowheart, being true to herself, smartly reverses the situation, using Astarion's complains to let him see the irony of the situation - because yes, Astarion, the one being grumpy right now is you, discarding her suggestions like that. As for the biting bit, well, it was too tempting to not point at it.

So what does he do? He uses the argument that he thinks is a general truth: that everyone wants to "ride" him - that it is the only thing he can "offer", although Shadowheart was clearly not referring to that at all. It serves him both to humiliate Shadowheart ("she's weak for me") and to reassert his newfound autonomy ("I'm not giving that to you. I am not like those domesticated beasts who submit to those who want to climb them.")

In the end, behind a silly, amusing banter like that, there's a significant message in regards to their characterization, and to Astarion's specific mindset at this point of the story.
