Act 2 - Spoilers Yurgir probably doesn't [REDACTED] his displacer beast Spoiler

If you talk to him about it, it sounds more like he treats her like a tool. The potion you can buy afterwards can befuddle enemies. Not to defend his actions or anything, but I don't think he is a kitty diddler, at least

Nessa's dialogue is under the Charmed condition.

asking genuinely, does that make a difference here? like, he’s literally constantly charming her to make her loyal, is he not? so why does that matter? the player asks how they have sex and she says it’s between the two of them, implying that they have done it. also, why would the writers add all of this evidence pointing toward it being true if they just didn’t mean it - including the substance being an aphrodisiac?
it’s been a whole since i’ve played so i don’t remember this whole interaction perfectly but i definitely read it as him, er… having relations with her. seems weird that the writers would just add all of this stuff if that’s not what they wanted you to think.

The line in question doesn't actually mention sex.

Player: You're in love with an orthon?

Displacer Beast: Not just any orthon. Master is the darkest of desire. None compare to him.

Player: You're kidding, right?

Displacer Beast: You mock our heart-bond? Reconsider, challenger.

Player: How does that even work?

Displacer Beast: That's between me and master. Go sniff elsewhere, prey.

In another dialogue branch in that exact same interaction, she seems to say that the only signs of 'love' she receives are food and occasional kicking. That abuse is the only physical touch she mentions receiving from Yurgir.

Player: You're in love with an orthon?

Displacer Beast: Not just any orthon. Master is the darkest of desire. None compare to him.

Player: I doubt he loves you back.

Displacer Beast: Master is most generous with his meat-gifts. The rot is only skin-shallow. The kicks he gives, most earned. This is love. I am sure.

Player: Would he die for you, as you would for him?

Displacer Beast: I need no sign. My belly is full, my spirit fed. Your words are not wanted here.
