If it is a delusion, then let it be a shared one.

[He lets his hand linger around Astarion's, his brow knitting as he pauses, then finally gives voice to his feelings.]

I know we've not known each other long in the grand scheme of things, and were it not for the tadpoles, I doubt we'd have ever met. Certainly not in favorable circumstances, given our respective situations prior to this adventure.

[He imagines a scenario where Astarion, still under the control of his sire, takes him back to Cazador, only for the vampire lord - and Baldur's Gate itself - it meet a rather explosive end. That'd certainly be one way to rid the world of that monster. Their meeting on account of the tadpoles seems a blessing by comparison.]

But through you, I've found a piece of myself that I was missing: someone who sees me as I am, who wants me as I am, and who has given up so much for me. Someone who treats me not as a plaything, but as an equal, and as proven it with his own actions in a way no one else ever would.
