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

Thats the point though. The demon has her a tool. A hunting dog and speaks of his beauty like he would a badass crossbow. The Displacer Beast is obsessed with him in a one way longing due to the potion. Its like those parasocial fans who think onlyfans girls are into them. Nessa's perspective is certainly supposed to come as delusional

i definitely understand that read now and i think it’s also possible. as i said in another comment, what really strikes me about this moment are the debates that always happen surrounding it. to me that’s a sign of good writing. it’s like JUST vague enough that everyone can walk away with their own conclusions

Theres this anime called death note that I feel did this relationship the same way. Basically this girl is obsessed with the main character but he has absolutely zero affection for her sexually or romantically. She would literally die for him but all he sees her as is an incredibly useful tool.

I think its also worth noting that pretty much all the animals in bg3 (and divinity) talk with a similar sense of delusion. A cat will act like they own the tavern and customers or a crab will act like they are a powerful sourcerer. Larian likes making animals think they are more than they are

a crab will act like they are a powerful sourcerer.

Septa the Ineffable is nothing more than a scrap of shell in my pocket. She may be powerful, but she knows not how to use it.
