Astarion hug, thank you, speaks of consent & sex choices

This cutscene really hit hard, so uploading it for me. I actually chose the most vanilla choices in my gameplay, but thought these choices gave the most open (positive) astarion reactions. I hope you enjoy! (esp the end) //Unnecessary chatter Considering I've been on this path of learning more of my demi/asexuality, I felt closer to the choices of not physically touching him unless he reaches out first. And now I can't finish an Ao3 BG3 astarion fic unless there's proper build up and relationship discussions ... gawd HELP me. Did anyone else go through this EMOTIONAL DMG JOURNEY? PS. Any fic reccs when he's more in control and it's more based on love language than a tumble in the woods? Would be super appreciated~ ;w;
