"The dog's tired after one little game of fetch? Weak. Pathetic.", said Astarion, while throwing the ball exactly 10 centimeters with all his might. :D
Astarion and Minthara sound mean here but if you (like an evil piece of shit) give Scratch away, they are both the most upset. Minthara is ready to raze everything to the ground to find him and Astarion cries. They're big softies at heart.
Also another thing: if Scratch dies and you try to throw the ball, everyone is sad about it and talks about how good he was but Astarion in particular is on the verge on tears.
Astarion: this is totally, definitely, absolutely a normal amount of salty to be about a dog being too tired to play with me. it's not like I actually wanted him to fetch the ball.

Not the dog's fault, no such thing as a bad dog, a bad and ignorant owner that doesn't understand the dog's needs on the other hand..those are the people who you should really be pissed about. To be a bit more general I'm willing to bet they were taken in by people who don't have the time to properly keep them active despite them being high energy dogs, and since they're crossed with terriers (known little yappy aggressive dogs) they're prone to getting stressed and lashing out.
Yeah definitely, when you speak with "his majesty"(the cat) and tell the cat how majestic he is and 'admire his beauty', astarion approves of all of these options xD
Neil (Astarion's VA) said that he was actually inspired by a stray cat that visited his house occasionally. He was feral at first, and it took 3 years before the stray allowed Neil to pet him; Now they are friends. Quote: [Astarion] is a cat. He's a black cat. There's a stray that comes into my house called Red... and he's quite feral. It took me three years before I could pick him up and hold him. He's totally cool with me now. Three fucking years. He gave me a lot of inspiration about Astarion. I believe he said it in one of the streams, apparently. I personally saw it on Tumblr.
@@Creative_mess4he also disapproves when you tell Gale's cat to please stop eating all the carrier pigeons that are supposed to be delivering mail in Balders Gate. He really thinks all cats (himself included) should be able to do whatever they want
@@plaguedoctor2882That doesn't feel fair honestly. Only 5?! Why not more? I mean, yeah there's a ton of characters and stuff, but... It's Astarion we're talking about for heaven's sake! That just feels depriving
Considering some of the other… interesting… comments he has made about his “talent with his tongue” (said about reading spells out) and other similar double entendres, it’s very possibly not just about the dog toy 😂🤭
Wyll: All tuckered out scratch. Me too scratch. Me too. Also Wyll: hey Mizora how about I trade my soul for someone to play fetch with? Mizora: *Double blinks in confusion* umm okay…? * Summons cambion*
i like how astarion says "barely a good boy at all". he's still a good boy just "barely".😂 he and shadowheart cant bring themselves to calling him a bad dog.
Yeah be careful how you throw stuff. I accidentally hit Scratch with a sponge. I was trying to get him to fetch it and my whole camp went apeshit on me. I guess they really do love that dog.
Wyll and Karlach seem to be the most open to Scratch,they are clearly dog people.Gale plays along but perfers cats. Shadowheart has some hangups because of her fear of wolves, but I think she wants to be friends. Lae'zel, Astarion and Minthara have their usual angst and high expectations but it just comes off as funny.

@@blacksesamecandies Astarion is a cat so he only like people and dogs when he feels like it, the rest of the time he just wants to cause chaos and break shit 😂
I like how the more evil companions don't even refer to Scratch by name while the more good characters do. Then Jaheira is just different because she's a Druid and has a slight bit of concern she's not playing ball with him right.
Astarion dearest makes me crack up so much lmao, talking shit when he can't even throw a BALL, he barely let's it drop. How does he even draw a bow ? XD
their game probably won't allow them because of how they completed certain quests. Laezel will definitely not join you. Halsin is the equivalent reward for the boglin questline in act 1 (so you can have both minthara and him at the same time). Minsc they probably haven't found yet
"The dog's tired after one little game of fetch? Weak. Pathetic." and all of a sudden, astarion had the undeniable urge to toss himself off the bridge for some reason

Never thought i'd be on the same foot as Astarion but these are some of the exact words I use on my pets. Though I reckon Astarion means what he says rather than it being a joke.
This is him being tired after using him in battle, but there *are* instances where he can die. I don't think it's inevitable though, just a possibility.
Scratch: guys... GUYS I'M NOT BOO. You've been summoning me to fight Bhaalists, zhent mercs, and hells know what else! I have the RIGHT to be tired. Goes to Karlach and asks for uppies
Oh wow I didn't even know this was a possibility! How do you trigger this? Is it like when you summon Scratch as a familiar and he gets defeated and poofs away? Also my two favorites probably are Jaheira asking if she should transform into Wild Shape and fight him for it (I would pay to see that lol, that'd be hilarious) and Wyll relating to Scratch about being tired. Scratch really is all our spirit animal, huh? Deep down we're all just energetic, happy pups that grew into tired dogs...
Minthara and Astarion really out here like “this is a normal amount of angst to have over a dog not giving me attention. I’m normal about this”
On brand, honestly
No for real though. 😂
they just like me fr
If scratch dies Astarion has a full on breakdown. It’s actually really sweet.
In fairness, Minthara combines the attitude of an evil overlord with a dog owner being disobeyed.
I love that Shadowheart can't be mean to/about Scratch for longer than two seconds. She's so soft, I love her
Shadowheart is my favorite!
