i think that it's gonna be oli's canon that he and asta did meet before the events of the game. like, briefly. and very shortly before, mere days

and, yeah, asta did try to seduce the guy and bring him back to cazador. but oli's hella insecure + he's demi. so like not really interested (yet) (i mean, come on, he wants to know how he could be into someone only five minutes after meeting) + he's almost willfully oblivious to flirting (and also thanks some timely intervention from a family friend! what luck!!!) so he's safe. barely.

mostly i want this big, dumb interaction where asta tries to be seductive and oli's like ????? the whole time. something along the lines of:

oli, trying to make polite conversation while waiting out the rain: so, uh... what's your name? astarion: whatever you want it to be, darling~ oli, not exactly unused to being flirted with but isn't exactly super used to it and doesn't want to make assumptions: is... is that elven, or...?

#i wonder. did astarion always go for seduction? or was he savvy enough with people to realize #that sometimes all he'd have to do is be like 'aw i lost my puppy' or some shit and he'd be able to get people #to follow him to their dooms that way?#because a sob story about a dying grandma or lost puppy or whatever #would have worked on oli far better than any pick up lines lmao #i imagine there'd be some points where asta was like 'nah this guy isnt biting. time to move on'#and then oli seems almost receptive which keeps him going #oli would in some ways be a perfect victim:#clearly far from home #clearly not of means #wouldnt take much digging to realize that he wouldnt really be missed should something happen to him #tho asta wouldnt be able to get him drunk. considering he finds all alcohol gross yucky #i have a rough outline of how the meeting would go #and the end of their encounter is almost sweet. if filled with intense amounts of dramatic irony lmao #basically oli's like 'youre a good person! :) im glad kind people like you exist in this city #bc the experience has sucked ass for me so far!!!!'#and astarion gets to sit there for a moment like ....what a naive idiot. jfc #he does (fortunately or unfortunately) find a replacement victim shortly after #idk. maybe it's a nice little respite for him to deal with someone like oli?#oli doesnt recognize him after the crash #im unsure if asta would recognize oli....#ship: blood sweat & tears (s!asta x oli)#oc: could it be this misery will suffice? (oliver)#to the void with love
