I think, all of Ascended Astarion's words are can be interpret in different ways, and I love it. "You may walk in the sunshine, but don't stray too far line". 1.Literally, since protection is not limitless. 2. Figuratively, i.e. don't stray from him plans. Or don't go against me. (Vampires, power-hungry creatures. And he's made a possible rival in you, and given sun protection you).
I love that “don't stray too far” line. I interpret it to mean that Astarion loves me so much that he wants me to always be there for him, but also in a literal sense so that I don't get sunburned. So with this line, he shows both love and care so that Tav remembers that and doesn't get sunburned. Incidentally, he himself can't go too far away either, especially during the day, or else he'll expose Tav to the sun. The implication is that Astarion and Tav will always be close to each other, and will not be separated even for a while. Astarion will not hide any actions from Tav, they will do everything together.

Since this is his answer to Tav's question about whether he would apply the control to them, it seems to me that this is just a fancy excuse by Astarion, with the “Lord's view” as it's supposed to be. He just doesn't want to and won't apply that control, but he chose to wrap it in such a wrapper.

I see this as his power overflowing after the ritual, and he also begins to hear for the first time the beings who really want to obey him. And in the chorus of beating hearts of these beings wanting to obey him, Tav's heart beats as well. He's squaring his shoulders for the first time, feeling in command, he can't handle all these new feelings yet. He has a kind of “drug euphoria”.
What I meant was that phrases AA are written in such a way that each player sees them differently from affection and care to control, and it's very great.))) In this way, it gives the impression that you are "writing your story, seeing it as you understand it".
Even in the epilogue AA is so beautiful and like an emotional swing. One minute he's cracking a soft smile and saying "I'm happy to share this with you, you complete me", the next he's smiling ominously and saying "I'm watching, always watching". And some think he's in control, others that you have nothing to worry about and if anything happens, he'll come to the rescue.
