"Easy now, darling. You've got this. And I've got you." Astarion says, trying his best to reassure you as you're struggling to control the dark urge within your body again - time and time again, it tries to bend your mind to its wicked will. And despite it clearly concerning Astarion, he wouldn't ever leave you in this situation.

You attempt to thank him, despite the insanity you're feeling right now.

"You'd do the same to me." - he stated softly. "Now, just relax - dawn isn't far off."
