With Cazador gone and a new path set, Astarion reflects on his own wants and needs in the face of newfound freedom.
Now.... excuse me while I cry irl tears about this entire questline and romance. Because I love it so much.

A cute detail is that at 8:32 he says "This is a gift, you know. Thank you, I won't forget it." He says the exact same thing when you let him drink blood from you the first night he reveals he's a vampire. What a sweet callback.

I love the detail the voice actor puts to make Astarion think over his words. It really shows how hard he's trying to voice out his freedom to speak his feelings out. I think this is the one game I like that makes a character not feel so 2-D and actually adds depth to their character. Surely because he's so dramatic and bratty and flirtatious everybody makes him out to be a complete man whore, but I totally appreciate the choices ro deflect his offers and try to befriend him. And when you reject his offers and try to be his friend he appreciates how you humanize him. But if you sleep with him and offer him the chance to enjoy sex for his *own* pleasure he leaves you when he reflects his own worth. He's got to be my favorite vampire character ever!
