Summary
I don't understand what this means. It's a mythic story--something out of legend. Out of the Shapers' War. Secret weapons. Masked players who killed a trickster god. I don't know how it fits into everyday life. I don't know how it fits into my kitchen.
“Are you in trouble?” I ask.
“What a question,” Bolaire mutters, looking to the side. “Am I in trouble? I suppose I'm not in any new sort of trouble.”
“So you're in old trouble,” I say.
“Living as a perpetual lie involves a certain amount of ongoing trouble,” he says. “That's the nature of the beast.”

Summary
Would it alarm you to know that you taught me how to have certain feelings? Would you think less of me if you knew I didn't know how, before you?
I wanted to tell you. I thought you might take it as a compliment. I thought you must be able to understand me, because you understand everyone. I hoped. I was, once or twice, even presumptuous enough to dream.
But I never stepped past the precipice of hope. And then your brother happened.

Summary
"First," said Gale. "Do not kill any thinking creatures in Waterdeep unless you must to protect yourself or you have my express permission."
As Gale spoke, he could feel the weight of his words sinking into the person sitting across from him. It was like casting a spell, but took no effort. Astarion had been staring hollowly into his goblet of blood, but at this he made a faintly interested noise. As if the rule were novel and he was considering the shape of it.
"Second, you will obey me in all things," said Gale. There didn't feel like there was any honest way of softening that. Astarion didn't make any sound at all.
"Third, do not leave the tower without permission." Astarion made another speculative noise, considering this one too. But then his shoulders hunched and his eyes skittered down, as if he didn't want to look at what was about to happen.
"Fourth," Gale said, and paused. He started with some context: "There is a tressym upstairs."
Astarion's head twitched. He looked up at Gale, blinking, startled. He had the air of someone who had been bracing for a blow and instead had just been handed a balloon animal.
"A what?" he asked.

Summary
Lord Astarion holds grand masquerades that are attended by the finest of the Gate. He samples the populace like wine; finding a taste for fat blooded noblemen and soft academics. And he kills with impunity, now– once slitting a beggar’s throat who had kicked up dust on his finest boots.
So why does sad little Professor Dekarios still elude him so?

Summary
Astarion drinks the wrong potion and inadvertently turns into a weak and helpless bat. Shadowheart loves animals, and the bat loves her, so that's fine. Then he turns back and starts throwing a tantrum about it, which would also be fine -- except that Shadowheart is not fine.

Summary
Gale tried again. “I—yes,” he said, finally. “This might be my last night alive. You’re right.”
“I’m not right,” sniffed Astarion. “I don't approve of the idea. I’m onto you. There’s a difference.”
The night before they reach Moonrise Towers, Gale's simulacrum fetches Astarion from his tent. He doesn't come quietly.

Summary
Tav said no and that meant there weren't many other options.
It was a process of elimination, nothing more. Lae'zel would sleep with him him, but it wouldn't tie her to him in the way he needed it to. Gale was too weak to protect him and Shadowheart would see through his deceptions too easily. Karlach, dear stupid Karlach, would have been perfect. She was strong enough to shield him and desperate for every scrap of affection. If it hadn't been for those flames-
So it was Wyll. It had to be Wyll.
Hells.
-
In which Astarion figures that what heroes really want is someone to save. And then assumes he can't possibly develop any feelings for a sweet, sincere hero who wants to do just that.
