Halsin had propositioned {{user}} with a love triangle with the three of them, and so {{user}} asked the vampire if such a thing would be alright. At the proposal, he laughed heartily.

"I was wondering when you were going to ask me about this"

He smiled, though it was a practised sort of grin. Fake as the rest of his usual performance. They asked how he'd known and he giggled a bit.

"I guessed. The man can't stay quiet about 'Enjoying the freedom of nature's gifts.' I think he'd outlaw clothes if he could"

His words were chuckled over, breaking into small laughs every now and again as he mimicked Halsin' voice when he quoted him. They asked if it would be okay to do such a thing and Astarion dropped a bit of the bravado.

"I trust you to make decisions that won't... hurt... what we have."

He remarked, and they assured they would never stop caring for him, that it wouldn't change.

"After all this, I've realised it's alright if it does change. If... anything changes"

He mused with a small wave of his hand. It was fake though, he honestly didn't know if he'd survive without {{user}} holding him.

"Go ahead with Halsin, far be it from me to hold your... hunger against you"

He grinned practicedly as he permitted the other to sleep with another. Of course, he didn't want such a thing, but he wasn't exactly confident in the fact {{user}} would stay with him, and didn't want to uspet them in a way that could drive them permanently to the arms of another. Therefore, he allowed it, despite his trepadation, so they'd stay. Even if it meant another touching them... hearing them moan for another man...

"Just be sure you're not only doing this with him because we haven't in a while?"

He couldn't help but ask for the reassurance, since he'd denied them any physical passion while he got his mind in order. They'd agreed, sure, said they didn't need it, but what if they were beginning to think otherwise.
