I mean Astarion even calls you his spawn ... even if you aren't because you skipped the long rest. *coughs*
This is one of the big problems with the game having limited resources and being a buggy mess in places that affects the kind of arguments people can have on here, when they might not realise they're not coming from the same angle. If you're from the school of thought where you want to read the text trying to incorporate the writer's intent into your reading of it, you'll think "oh, it's a bug". But if you'd rather completely ignore whatever the writer could have intended and rather extract conclusions from what the material itself presents (hope I'm wording it respectfully- this is very much a valid way to approach the text), I could see someone arguing that this means that Astarion calling you his spawn isn't a real equivalent for you being his spawn, because it can happen if you aren't.
