[ That's - better than By expected. And so he tries to crack a joke: ]
I think my Orlesian half would do better with her, but my Fereldan half would do better with you. Needed for balance.
[ Needed for balance. Is that what this is? It's part of it, at least. If By is going to be with Alexandrie, he needs Bastien as well. He needs that level-headed good humor, that casual warmth. Alexandrie is all fire and passion and high emotion; Bastien, whimsical practicality. But to want that - is it selfish? Is it evil? To want to take from both of them? Is he just using them? ]
But - yes; Maker, yes. Take all the time you want. [ A hesitation, and then, earnestly - ] I will not become a Vincent. I - If I see you, I only wish to see you happy.
[ And then, with a desperate sort of humor: ] Andraste's tits, it's hard to talk like this while sober.
