[ He'd demonstrate, but his own hands are still symbolically tied. ]
Touch me, bite me. Do whatever you wish, as long as you're within kissing distance. [ Showing his obvious hand: he really likes kissing Astarion. He has probably noticed. If he hasn't, then this next statement will make it abundantly clear. ] ...But don't let me kiss you, even if I ask.
