We were approached by a similar one after the Ascension, offering to return spiritual well-being for 7000 coins. Astarion decided that a small snack would help him find spiritual peace. Unfortunately, greed is not always good, and the Lord got a burp instead of spiritual peace, as he had eaten too dense a lunch of gur before. But all ended well, and after half an hour of lying on the bed to better digest the donation, Astarion was spiritually improved and finally established in spiritual well-being. astarionhappy

I will put the extra sharp shards in his bed." Sceleritas quickly throws everything into one big bag because he doesn't want to miss out when his master dominates the world.

He brushed Astarion Junior's soft fur and sharpened his tiny claws. "Oh, my little master, now the time has come, your mother will rule the world. I am so incredibly proud." "Do I look good Sceleritas, do I look like a Lord?" Sceleritas adjusts the tiny lock of white hair "Perfect, my little mischievous master." “Do you think I can sit on Mama’s head when she conquers the world?” "Stay in the background for now, stay out of your father's head, he'll like it if his son accompanies him in the moment of triumph... *whispers* and ruins his hairstyle." "That sounds like a good idea Sceleritas, I'll be able to see everything clearly from there. Have you packed enough blood drops? I'll definitely want to eat a few." "Yes, your father will appreciate it if you pamper him with your sticky little sugar pout give a few kisses on his head." Sceleritas smiles contentedly.

Adorables! <3

Astarion looked proud at the moment of triumph, chuckling slightly at the amusing sensation of the little paws of the bat hidden in his hair scratching his head (it was like a massage) and the little nose poking at the top of his head. What it looked like from the outside, Astarion did not know, as looking in a mirror at that moment would not be very appropriate. When the little one spread his wings to stretch, it was like a bow on the side of Astarion's hair. The triumph was very dignified, and Sceleritas was smiling a satisfied subservient smile across his mouth.

I think it's an improvement, but I got used to that evil gremlin face and will miss it. laugh I still find his attempts to appear scary cute. smile What do you l think? Which one do you prefer?

Both of them! <3 When I passed the epilogue, to me, Astarion's while saying the phrase “I am always watching” became more... passionate. A more sexual connotation appeared, if I may say so. He used to have a little more grumbling and be more “suspicious”, but that was nice too. I like the way he holds himself, the proud posture and the way he lifts his chin up.

Haha, I always had the urge to touch the tip of his nose with an index finger and tease him "You're always so adorable when you're trying to be scary, darling. Watch me all you like, because I've got my eyes on you too, my dearest lord." shadowheartgiggle

It's better they changed it, because the previous expression always made me laugh and it looked more like an empty threat from someone who randomly got their knickers in a twist. Now he indeed looks more dignified and convincing. grin At least now I actually believe him he might come up with some delightful "punishment" if Tav appears to be too flirtatious with someone else (his bitter rival God Gale especially!). laugh

About the nose thing - haha, we all have the same thing! For some reason I thought of his nose too when I saw that “grumpy” face, only I wanted to kiss his nose. And now to kiss him hotly on the lips. <3 And maybe joke, “Really, really? So you know exactly where my book I was reading last night went! How not? How about, 'always watching'... So, not always...” And make sad eyes to extract lots of comforting remarks from Astarion in the form of “You're mine” preferably along with “Forever”. Or to say, “That's good, my love. It means I'll miss you less while you stand in the distance this evening.”

Yes, he looks younger. And indeed, more dignified and convincing. Before, I always wanted to caress “grumpy” because he would grumble at the empty place. smile And now he has it more romantic, and it would be wonderful to end this dialog with a kiss.

Ha ha ha, spot on! Thank you, this made my evening! <3 It's a gorgeous expression, I need to print it out and hang it on my fridge during periods when I'm on a diet so that I'm like, “Okay, okay, Astarion... Since I said I'm losing weight, that means I'm losing weight... Honestly”. smile

I but wished they would have reverted or improved the gur confrontation after ascension, to make him look more confident again, too, like it was before patch 5.

I agree! I too would really like him to get his confident expression back in the scene with Gur!

I have to find the video of Karlach and my other outrages. I think that will be my new task, the death must be caused by thrown underwear hahaha

He's so funny looking over your shoulder.

One life, one love - until the world falls down.
