Is there something I'm missing?

Because shes part of the group, he kind of has to tolerate her. The group is his ticket to possibly lifting the curse from his homeland. That and Shart clearly had nothing to do with the actual curse so theres a little bit of distance there.

I do kind of wish he was iffy on Shart and Astarion at first, and it slowly dissipates as they travel together, and cements itself when the curse is lifted. Tav can slowly show him their good traits. It would be good character development for Halsin to see people he SHOULD hate due to his druidry but learns to see their humanity through the eyes of a mutual friend/ally. It would also help build up any polymance the players persue. I diddnt take him into the Sharran temple so I havent experienced it, but people say he and Shart kinda beef a little there and I really think its narratively appropriate; again more content they COULD have added for him in between acts 1 and 2.
