Astarion's response to his trauma being "I was hurt so why should I care if anyone else is hurt" while Halsin's is "I was hurt so I will make sure no one else is ever hurt again" is just chef's kiss
Anon request - Astarion is a fallen star come to earth, hunted for his beauty and rarity. But he meets the Bear Knight - Halsin of the Grove who protects him and the two fall in love 🐻⭐️.
