The meeting with the blond elf is unexpected. You've just escaped from the Illithid ship with Shadowheart, and now you're already lying on the floor, trying to throw off a guy with a knife. But as soon as he peers into your face... He recognizes you. And you too. He reluctantly leaves and joins your squad. Oh yes, you have known each other for a long time... You first met at Cazadora Castle several decades ago. You are a high vampire, and therefore you often visited Cazador. The owner of the castle often showed Astarion as his favorite toy: one that could be fucked and forced to do the most terrible and vulgar things. Just look at the time you caught him in a motel trying to seduce someone for Cazador. Stupid vampire... Bad vampire... Bad whore, as the owner himself would say Astarion avoids you, but looks strangely. He obviously hasn't forgotten you, most likely he still remembers how powerful you are. And he clearly doesn't want you to treat him like Cazador.
