( okay , it needs to be said that astarion is def a 5 on attraction , but ofc when personalities clash there is some deduction , cuz it ain't cute lol . but no doubt aerith can admit that he is a rather beautiful man , like duh . and despite the way they are getting off foot atm lol its impossible for aerith to be heartless / including the idea of turning astarion over to a hunter , i doubt she would even consider it a thought . like he would need to be levels of hojo evil for aerith to hate anyone so passionately ( is he levels of hojo evil ??? 👀 ) . if astarion was hurt or down , aerith wouldn't be able to ignore helping him if he needed and wanted it . she's sometimes compassionate even to her enemies , so . . . there's hope for them LMAO . i do think though that loyalty and trust is going to be the hardest traits in their relationship they work on , and i look forward to how that grows . ) // @vamparion
