I should also clarify - for you, and for him, since I assume he'll be privy to this exchange at some point - that I don't have any gut feelings that he's secretly some terrible monster who cares nothing for me. That would be absurd.
Only that John hates him with a passion I've rarely seen him express otherwise. I was assuming he was the one who turned you -
[The sheer fact that John hates him, that he's worth fucking up enough to burn a deal over, that Astarion apparently has a life so bad it was potentially even worth resetting, that he's a vampire spawn and thus almost definitely required someone to turn him...]
- but I'll admit that's a bold assumption. I only heard the name for the first time just before during your conversation with John.

That would have been difficult, yes.

Firstly: no, I'm not, and using his name to get a rise out of me is clumsy.
Secondly: what do you know about him, exactly?

Hm.
Well, your ignorance does explain why you'd suggest something so wildly off the mark, so, yes. Your mistake.
