I really hope it's just a bug and not cut content. That would be a great shame for this beautiful and funny scene. But we know for sure that Gale doesn't work. Thanks for testing darling. I also suspect that Karlach doesn't work.

He's definitely Astarion's mini-me and must have always been listening very closely to the things his daddy says.

The tiny bat looks smugly up at Sceleritas, his little white chest puffed up with pride.
The butler smiles knowingly and indulgently down at his little master and hands him another one of the blood candies.
"Not to worry, my little master. I know of a perfect hiding spot for your most hard-earned treasure - a place so vile, even your parents daren't approach it." Sceleritas is thinking of the space behind his fruit crate bed, where he keeps his prized jar of bugs and other sulfurous goodies.

"Less talking, more carrying! Can you not work any faster, Sceleritas...?..." Junior's voice begins to trail off.
As the butler expected, the sugar crash from the candy quickly starts taking effect on the little bat. Junior yawns and his eyes begin to droop before he curls up in Sceleritas' hand, and goes to sleep immediately.

Sceleritas carefully places the little bat on the edge of his hat. "No, go away, take your hands off my candies. They're all mine!" The little lord seems to have nightmares and talks in his sleep. "If even one piece of candy is missing, then I'll send you to my grandpa's temple."

Sceleritas smiles happily and listens to the little boy swearing and what he would do to his opponents. He is a very proud nanny.

He drags the really heavy sack full of blood candies through the palace. He has already dragged many "sacks" through the temple, but this one is really heavy, so Sceleritas has to take a break several times. When they reach his comfortable bedroom (a hole in the brickwork reveals a small, dirty and dark niche), Sceleritas places the sack behind his fruit crate bed. To camouflage it better, he places a houseplant in front of it that had withered decades ago. "Perfect... and you my little friends don't touch my evil little master's blood candy." He screws the jar with the bugs tighter again. "An even better hiding place would have been Master Astarion's old tent. Where did that go? I remember all the big fat bugs there."

Sceleritas is well trained. He always had to keep up with the Slayer and had to pull the heavy “sacks” through the temple. Now there is the little wild, curious and fast master, who is often a challenge for Sceleritas. In his bat form he is so tiny that he can hide anywhere, which he does. Sceleritas hardly dares to let the little devil out of his sight because he immediately goes on an adventure and if he has even a scratch, poor tiny Scerlitas has to suffer for it. First through his beloved and most deeply adored mistress, then comes the master "stupid silver curls" and then he has to answer to Bhaal himself.
