This may be the big difference. I immediately asked Halsin if hed drink with me because I wanted to try to get to kmow him more (not necesarily flirt, but the exchange was great either way) especially since he had told me in the goblin camp when I rescued him he intended to come with us. So when I moved on to other areas, I talked to him a lot to see if he had anything new to say, which I do frequently for all the characters anyway. Thats where I got the options to ask him if hes gonna miss being archdruid etc etc. Maybe all that got closed off when you diddnt "flirt" with him. I dont know why asking someone to have a drink with you, at a party where people are drinking, is considered flirting but ok. Maybe I picked the sex option too after he turned down the drink I dont remember at this point.
