When he, for example, mentions his plans to ask Raphael about the scars and you list all the risks this might entail, he gets defensive, but if you just agree, he shows that he is aware of all the risks himself.
It's funny, but I thought about asking Raphael when I found out that the inscriptions were in the Devil's language, since he was the only Devil I knew (though I think Karlach might know Devil's, since she'd lived in Averno for a long time). And when Astarion brought it up, I was glad I'd gotten the idea.

Yes, Astarion is clever, he often gives out such interesting statements - even write them down, aphoristic, ironic and quite aptly "hits the target", exposing the essence of the phenomenon he is talking about.

Join in, you'd be welcome! Astarion is so Astarion, I love him, to be honest, in any form, and Baldur is such a game that it's just impossible to cover the whole range of possibilities, reactions, lines, etc. in one or even, probably, in two or three passes, it's very interesting when another person can share the experience, new facets of perception open up, like in a kaleidoscope.
