#also if you change your mind and dump astarion for her she says she'll bring him some wine later to lessen the sting 😁

i saw someone on reddit mention this and wanted to see it for myself, so here it is. if you initiate a romance with astarion, but then later pursue someone else, he'll almost always be catty about it, imply that you have poor taste for choosing someone else over him, and will reject any offer of polyamory on the grounds of either personal standards (ew, you want him to be in a love triangle with who?) or self-preservation (he ain't fighting lae'zel for your ass lmao).

but if his rival-in-question is karlach...

he tells you that he hopes you'll be a comfort to her and turns down your offer of seeing him on the side because he doesn't want her to get hurt :`)

meanwhile, if you put karlach in the same situation (start out romancing her, then pursue astarion), she'll also start out quite sweet...

and then quickly devolve into (affectionately) taking the piss out of astarion for stealing her partner 😁

"She likes Astarion but threatening to kill him for stealing her bf/gf is also funny to her." 😂

in sum: they're frands, your honor
