It's sweet, though, that Iorveth claims he wouldn't be tempted by this alternate universe, mortal version of Astarion. Being told that he's loved still makes him feel like an adolescent with sweaty hands tangling fingers with his first crush, an all-encompassing, light-headed joy. In an eternal lifetime, he'll never figure out what he did to deserve to be loved by someone like Iorveth, but he'll happily soak up all of the undeserved love regardless.
