Companions' first meetings with Kavri, for anyone who wants to hear about my cool bug:
Shadowheart - [Fails DC-18 History check] Thinks Kavri is just some form of beastman that Shadowheart hasn't encountered before, and Kavri's initial stumbles to remember how to talk to other people doesn't help to correct that impression. Shadowheart absently remarks that they may find Kavri's clothes while searching the nautiloid, but while Shadowheart finds her own gear, Kavri only has a satchel with a few keepsakes like her red dragon scale and her embroidery kit.
Astarion - [Fails DC-18 History check] Rather than stiffening up in fear when he tackles her and presses a dagger to her throat, she blinks up at him and offers up a bare wrist to his mouth, which he notices is gouged and scarred with previous vampire bites. Astarion can hear her heartbeat and knows she isn't a fellow member of the undead, so the beastman must be an eager little bloodbag that another vampire used then spared, but unfortunately all of this draws attention to his condition. The idea of slitting her throat to silence her flits across his mind, but her first idea to offer her blood is just so baffling that he can't bring himself to do it, yet.
Gale - [Fails DC-18 History check, but with a 15] Gale is pulled out of the portal by what must be a rare female bacchae - sure, she looks like a satyr, but satyrs aren't known to be so disheveled, and there's a glint in her glassy eyes that alludes to drunkenness (read: Kavri has spent a decade being a cryptid and suddenly getting kidnapped to a realm she's not sure is her own and forced into close proximity with strangers is. Overwhelming. A tad. She's been holding off on a good cry for hours.). Gale quietly advises caution to Shadowheart and Astarion lest they all fall into Dionysus' snare, and offers his robe to Kavri to wear as Shadowheart is wearing armor and Astarion is wearing his richly quilted jacket that he doesn't want to get fleas on.
Lae'zel - [Crit-fails DC-18 History check because why would she know about a rare species in a land she doesn't inhabit] Lae'zel remembers the long-eared fur-thing from the ship who refused to leave the pods and ensure their own survival. And she also recalls how capable she was in battle (Kavri is probably going to end the campaign at level 15-18, and then regress back down to level 10 at the start of BG3, which is a Notable difference in skill). Lae'zel knows that Kavri could thrash the tieflings into paste, but pleads at length to free Lae'zel bloodlessly.
Wyll - [Succeeds DC-18 History check] Wyll notices that the monk handles herself more capably than anyone else in the fight outside the Emerald Grove's gate. He also recalls from skilled satyr performers and tutors in Baldur's Gate that no self-respecting satyr would *ever* allow themselves to look like they've be drug across a forest floor, with the brambles in her pelt, the tangles in her hair, the scratches on her hooves. When he joins the party, he offers Kavri some hair oil and the use of his combs with the polite assumption that she had her own set before the nautiloid took her. [+15 Kavri approval]
Minthara - [Succeeds DC-18 History check] Minthara at first absently notes that The Absolute somehow found use for a wild satyr, and assumes that she flinches while reviewing the assault on the Emerald Grove due to some as-of-yet uncured nature-loving instinct in her blood. There's also a noticeable strain in the satyr's smile, a hesitation before every word, when addressing Minthara, though she remains gratingly cheerful. But, when the party of True Souls returns with the captured bear in tow, Minthara marks that hesitation again - this time a shift in the angle of the satyr's fist, which happens to be the last thing Minthara sees before she's knocked out. And Minthara knows that it was almost a killing blow. (Kavri doesn't have a healthy capacity for hate. She can't even hate the dragon that killed her entire family. And she doesn't hate drow. But the closest she comes to hate is what she feels to House Baenre, after they kidnapped Mister Rodjarrsse and Treznor and turned Treznor into a vampire.)
Halsin - [Succeeds DC-10 History check] Halsin has met quite a few satyrs in his youth, and perhaps just as many hermits. He has never known a satyr to stray from their tribe or forest to adventure on their own, but he imagines that the same can be said of wood elves. He sees that the satyr delights in nature and revelry, as any healthy satyr would, and feels a sense of kinship that borders on homesickness, not knowing that the satyr feels just the same.
Karlach - [Fails DC-20 History check] Karlach was sure that there was no way out but through these adventurers' broken bodies. The Blade is ready to kill her, it's pretty hard to argue that she's not a murderous demon when there's still blood on her hands. But, she still pleads her case, swears she's not a monster, and the little goat just... believes her. Like a little kid that hasn't figured out yet that they can be lied to. And at first, Karlach thinks Kavri saw the truth of it in her eyes, that she could just tell, but after a sarcastic joke, she realizes that Kavri actually does believe whatever the person in front of her tells her.
