#also I think heavy armour in the surface differs from heavy armour in menzo so I think she does need some help wearing it

shri’iia gradually wears heavier armour throughout the game and by the end I like her having a proper knightly attire, and she actually looks like a knight as opposed to her costume in the start when she was just pretending to be one and the gear she wore was pristine and it looks unused because she’s pretending to be one. anyway I like the idea in around act 2 thats when she starts wearing heavy armour because they have access to the harper’s armoury unlike the Druid’s grove where I imagine they don’t have much steel or chain because Druids prefer their leathers and leaves. and I like the idea that astarion actually helps her out of her armour at night because his fingers are faster than hers, for the sexy time ofc, but I also like the idea that it becomes this sort of intimate and quiet act between them. like the big thing with hag romance for ME is that the falling in love aspect it’s actually a slow burn between them, and in act 2 that’s when they’re actually falling for each other and they’re both respectively going to have their well shit 🧍‍♀️ moment and I like the idea that astarion realises that when he’s helping her out of her armour, and he’s undoing the numerous buckles and it’s quiet between them that he realises that he’s actually in love with this mf, and he likes this little ritual they have, and when she smiles at him after he helps put away her gear it’s !!!! disarming to him and now he feels bad that he’s using her that way, and he wants the thing between them to be something proper, and this isn’t casual anymore he knows that much. so he’s like ope-🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️💀 when he realises his feelings, and sex between them gets more intimate, and when she helps him out with the yurgir thing he’s like ok I can’t take this anymore….. this isn’t casual anymore babes I need to talk to you….cute act 2 confession….
