Astarion could think of several reporters who would love to have this chance. A few of his companions would have enjoyed it too, he thought. Gale in particular given that he was the curious sort. Astarion's motives weren't nearly as pure and his curiosity was rooted in his selfishness and opportunism.
"I suppose the most pressing would be-" He paused, tilting his head, and with the hand not holding his spoon he gave a slight gesture, "Why are you here? I understand opportunity better than most and while the people have much to offer, it's just- you're not taking anyone. Or anything."
A pause, a slight sigh to go along with a half-smile, "Not yet, anyway. You've just been going around so far- capturing these moments in time? Or is it also capturing something else? Souls? Energy? The winning smiles of the fair people of Baldur's Gate?"
That would explain why he was so interested in Astarion not showing up on that slate of his. If it needed to be able to see him to take something from him. Another spoonful of his stew then, followed by another drink of wine.
