Jesus Christ Halsin is heart-wrenching. First he's all nervous and eager for his first romance scene, then...

More Halsin spoilers below...

---

The Scene: Paladin!Tav/Halsin hook up with the drow twins in Sharress's Caress. A good time is had by all.

The next morning:

Tav: So you're famous in Menzoberranzan? That sounds like a fun story!

Halsin: Oh it is! [Proceeds to tell a tale that would trigger the shit out of Astarion.] :D

Tav: Babe...

Halsin: :D

Tav: You okay, babe?

Halsin: You know what, maybe not? Love you for noticing tho! :D

Between that and "Sometimes I think people look at me and think my feelings can't be hurt," Tav's just like: "The next person to reference Halsin's body in camp gets a blinding smite up the ass DO NOT FUCKIN TRY ME you dizzy bitches."

Nobody asked for this, I don't care. Her name is Alonza and she is a rookie plumber who thought that meant she got to go on adventures. Found out, she was just clearing toilets, but hey, she gets to learn from the masters and her fake mustache helps her fit in.

And here are some random panels from when I first made this oc years ago:

Put Halsin in the Elegant Robe and tbh I made the same face Alonza is making in that last screenshot. Yyyyyep.

Chapter 1: Let the Master Become the Student

“Did you wait to tell me that you wanted me… because you thought, somehow, you didn’t deserve to be happy while the shadow curse lingered?” -Alonza

"Every straight-laced, tight-assed paladin could benefit from a sweaty, semi-feral bear-man willing to help him unleash his inner freak." - Astarion

New fave outfit for Tav hands down big winner.

Alonza might be experiencing the beginning of an Oath crisis. A sympathetic Halsin means to distract him for the afternoon but ends up just as distracted himself.

Ridiculous, beautiful, perfect man. Half of me wanted to shake him and make him repeat affirmations for the rest of the afternoon: /I am good enough, I am smart enough, and Alonza wants to bang me constantly and thoroughly/. The other half just needed to kiss him. -Alonza
