Astarion wasn't above manipulating enemies either, so he could relate. Unlike Thrawn though, Astarion also didn't mind manipulating allies- but only when he thought he could get away with it. Or that he needed to.
So far he hadn't needed to.
Thrawn had given him everything he could want so far after all. Even the quarters he'd been given were comfortable and quite safe for a vampire like him with no possibility of any sunshine getting to him.
"You do remember I was a bat for most of this first meeting of ours? It is fairly difficult to hurt someone when you're the size of a powder puff."
Some of that flirtatiousness returned then as he tilted his head, "Good to know. I intend to continue- though only when you expect it least."
Flirtation lost some of its charm when he actually said he was flirting ahead of actually doing so.
"I will do this though," He said, bringing his fingertips up beneath the other man's chin so he could tilt his head up- leaning in as though to kiss him but instead turning so that he could press a kiss to his neck, just beneath his earlobe. It was fairly light and didn't linger, but it was certainly meant to be seductive with the way his breath ghosted over Eli's skin just before pulling back.
