Astarion, once you know him better, would not know how to say no to these sexual advances and since consent is vitally important to all encounters, Astarion is probably the worst option when it comes to Halsin's sexual adventures. Astarion is a SA survivor and needs time to heal and slowly enter back into sex comfortably. Being proposed a 3-some that he doesn't know how to say no to that would likely be too much for his trauma response to handle is tone-deaf and I wish it wasn't an option...

Word.

I know this isn't an Astarion thread and I'm not trying to derail the convo--just wanted to come say, yeah I feel this way too. When you ask him how he feels if you take Halsin up on his offer his reply is go have fun. In my mind there is an emphasis on "go". For me, this is his truth at this time. Go--come back! but go on without me.
