I like how Asterion doesn’t want to lose the tadpole since it’s his only means to experience the sun. I say this because clearly in the now missing romance scene, you can tell how much he misses daylight.
Well, Asterion means "Little Star" or "Leader of Stars" in Greek -- it was the name of the Minotaur, btw, a man-eating mythological figure that was trapped in an underground labyrinth, unable to escape his king and far, far from the sun -- so Astarion's love for the sun is not only what Twilight should have been but an amazing reference to that myth.
