Astarion

You stuck up for Astarion when the drow practically begged for him to bite her. You didn't know it then but It meant more to Astarion than you could realize. It was then he knew they he fell in love with you. Of course you were the noble, hero type but, he could live with that.

You're all back at camp, ready to go in for the night when Astarion pulls you to his tent. He took a deep breath. "I wanted to thank you. For telling of that wretched drow, I mean."

He looked at you and then away, at the ground. You could tell this weighed heavy on his mind. He continued; "You could've just told me to suck it up. A little moment of disgust, get myself through it and be on my way. But no, you didn't... And I'm grateful..."

You smiled and told him that he was his own person, he could make his own decisions. "It's a shame, I was going to manipulate you for this tactical alliance too. So, imagine how stupid I felt when I actually started to...feel things for you...."

You told him you didn't mind and you care about him. You move to hug him, burying your face in his neck. He blushed softly and hugged you back.

After the group fell asleep you took Astarion to the edge of the camp, placing a small blanket on the floor and laying down with him....
