After either version of this scene, the player character and Halsin will immediately be in a "relationship", though he will tell you that he prefers for what they share to be fluid and non-exclusive. If the player character asks to kiss him while {{CharLink|Jaheira}} is in the party, she may jokingly commend the two for their bravery because she gets bad breath after assuming her own [[Wild Shape]] forms. Additionally, kissing Halsin in front of Shadowheart while not also partnered to her has her tease their relationship with a hint of envy, as her consent dialogue implies that she has a crush on Halsin as well. | After either version of this scene, the player character and Halsin will immediately be in a "relationship", though he will tell you that he prefers for what they share to be fluid and non-exclusive.

Like the other romance options, Halsin and the player character can take {{CharLink|Zethino|Zethino's}} love test together at the [[Circus of the Last Days]], and he can even be asked to take the test while not yet partnered. His response is positive if the player answers two or more questions correctly. | Like the other romance options, Halsin and the player character can take {{CharLink|Zethino|Zethino's}} love test together at the [[Circus of the Last Days]], and he can even be asked to take the test while not yet partnered.

If the [[The Netherbrain|Netherbrain]] is defeated while the player character is partnered with Halsin, the two will be seen spending the night together, where Halsin shares that he needs to return to {{CharLink|Thaniel|Thaniel's}} [[Shadow-Cursed Lands|realm]], help the residents and nature heal, and care for the hundreds of displaced children there. The player character can offer to travel with him and help him rebuild, but if they choose to stay in Baldur's Gate, go to [[Avernus]] with Karlach, or | If the [[The Netherbrain|Netherbrain]] is defeated while the player character is ''only'' partnered with Halsin, the two will be seen spending the night together, where Halsin shares that he needs to return to {{CharLink|Thaniel|Thaniel's}} [[Shadow-Cursed Lands|realm]], help the residents and nature heal, and care for the hundreds of displaced children there. The player character can offer to travel with him and help him rebuild, but if they choose to stay in Baldur's Gate, go to [[Avernus]] with Karlach, live with non-Sharran Shadowheart, or adventure with spawn-vigilante Astarion, it is implied that they maintain a long-distance relationship. | ||
If the player character chose to stay in Thaniel's realm with him, he asks at the [[Epilogue|Reunion Party]] if they're sure about their choice of a quiet life over an adventurous one and expresses concern over whether the children will be safe, as this is his first time leaving his duties since the Netherbrain fight. If the player character ''only'' romanced Halsin and did ''not'' stay with him ''or'' go to Avernus, it is possible to receive invitations to the Reunion Party with him and still enter the [[Campsite]] as a couple (due to a glitch that sometimes skips the romance wrap-up above if he was not in the party against the Netherbrain); otherwise, the player character enters with Karlach (if they went to Avernus) or alone. Other than being able to ask for kisses, Halsin's dialogue then remains largely the same as if they were friends or exes: he shares about his efforts in the realm, asks the player character what they've been up to for bedtime story ideas, gives them permission to visit and tell the story themselves, and offers the {{SmItemIcon|Whittled Duck}} as a parting gift. However, players who romanced Halsin can joke that they would've asked him to read them stories and tuck them in during the adventure. | If the player character chose to stay in Thaniel's realm with him, he asks at the [[Epilogue|Reunion Party]] if they're sure about their choice of a quiet life over an adventurous one and expresses concern over whether the children will be safe, as this is his first time leaving his duties since the Netherbrain fight.

=== Romancing Other Characters === | |||
Being polyamorous himself, Halsin will never be mad at the player character for sharing their heart with other people, but he may react to (or participate in) certain encounters. | |||
* '''Romancing {{CharLink|Sorn Orlith|Sorn}}/{{CharLink|Nym Orlith}}''' - Halsin will always eagerly offer to join the foursome with the drow twins at [[Sharess' Caress]], even if he has not been romanced. If Halsin participates, he will be heard turning into a bear and carrying the player character around, much to the shock and amusement of the twins. If the player character is also dating Shadowheart and both she and Halsin are in the party, the player can choose to have a fivesome with both partners ''and'' both twins. This version of the scene plays out the same as a foursome with only Shadowheart; however, she admits that she has fantasized about Halsin as well, and he says that the pleasure of a woman is one of nature's greatest gifts. The player character can also have a fivesome with the twins, Halsin, and Astarion (if {{Quest|The Pale Elf}} has been completed), in which case Halsin compliments Astarion's body as a beautiful work of nature's powers and Astarion teasingly asks Halsin if he's comfortable being kissed "with teeth". After a shared encounter with the twins, Halsin confides in the player character that he spent several years when he was younger as a sex slave in the [[Underdark]]. | |||
* '''Romancing {{CharLink|Mizora}}''' - When triggered in Act 3, Mizora will acknowledge the player character's relationship with Halsin but still instigate sex with them anyway. If you accept her advances, the love scene will trigger as normal; however, the following morning, Halsin walks in on them and teases the player character for not fearing "adventure of any sort". He senses regret in the player character but comforts them if they confirm this, saying he's proud of them for being comfortable enough to love freely and explore more of their desires without him. | |||
* '''Romancing {{CharLink|The Emperor|the Emperor}}''' - The player character's love scene with the Emperor is the only one in which Halsin appears to have discomfort if he is present. However, since the Emperor wipes the memories of those who walked in on them, Halsin will not mention it ever, and there will be no implications on the player character's relationship with him. | |||
* '''Romancing {{CharLink|Haarlep}}''' - The player character's relationships upon entering the [[House of Hope]] have no effect on this option triggering, and going through with it does not have any implications on their romance with Halsin or any other partner afterward. | |||
