#monogomy was the one he'd never heard of growing up like

Anyway I think with Calem's ultimatum Halsin absolutely would go and talk to Astarion about Calem's Past enslaved for ten years followed by destroying his own village and considering he can also fall in love with Durge, who definitely did shit just as bad and didn't follow it up with a nervous breakdown like Calem? I think Halsin wouldn't hate him, He'd acknowledge what he did was terrible yeah, but also understand how bad what he was went through. He went through three years of the same after all, except he was older and it didn't also include gladiator pits and vivisection.

L'Calem convinced he's irredeemable and Halsin just being "That explains why you are so protective but distant with all the kids we encounter." And Astarion in the background rolling his eyes cause he's already told the idiot he was being ridiculous.
