[spoiler question] Does Rasaad comment anything extra during the Cult of the Eyeless

He is a worshipper of Selune who in turn inherited the portfolio of the Amaunator -- the forgotten God during the quest with the Beholder. (I really liked that quest during the original.)
Does Rasaad's presence bring new dialog options & comments during the visit to Amaunator's followers?
(Well, he does brag in BGEE about how he spent *studying* for countless hours. So, he better...)

I can't imagine a more obvious plot tie-in than that. Did the devs really overlook their obligation to myth? That would be such a disdain.
How are the other characters interacting with existing plotlines?
(e.g. Neera should have some choice Spellhold moments... Dorn should probably be opinionated about Paladin and Cleric strongholds & quests etc. ...)
Also: has anyone ever seen a dialogue between Rasaad and Sarevok? You'd think if *anybody* would have something to say about bringing a brother back from the dead, it would be him, but there was no banter in my game.
Randomly, the two of them decide killing each other would be a good idea, despite Rasaad always treating the woman who follows the archenemy of his god and spends most of her time trying to get him to fall with a sort of distant respect all the same, and there being people far more annoying to Sarevok hanging around in ToB that he won't even touch (I mean, he's going to attack Rasaad, but let Jan and the Binky deal go? Really?).
Thankfully, there are like three ways to talk them out of that fight, but it's just so freakin' bizzare I usually set it to not happen in my games.
I actually thought the stupidest Rasaad banter was the one where Jaheira tells him he's got crow's feet (wrinkles around the eyes) from frowning. Yeah, um, that's more of a smiling thing. Also--this is the best banter between them someone could come up with?
Sarevok: I don't like you, monk. (Does Sarevok like anyone? Does he ever let it matter? NO.)
Rasaad: Knowing this will cost me little sleep, Sarevok. (And, Rasaad doesn't care. That's a good step one, but...)
Sarevok: It could cost you much more than that if my half- ever tires of you. (There's a gnome around here that calls me Binky and mocks my former plans, but clearly the inoffensive monk is the one I need to target!)
Rasaad: Your threats matter little to me. (That's good, Rasaad, keep on not caring...)
Sarevok: You do not fear death? You should. I know what it is like. I had to scratch, claw, and plead my way back into the land of the living. (Okay, Sarevok's bragging again, we're back on even ground...)
Sarevok: But do I spend all my days whining about my fate? I do not. (Once again, there's a gnome that calls me Binky and mocks all my former plans hanging around, but this monk! He's said nothing to me! Clearly, he's a threat!)
Sarevok: But you... you cannot help but go on and on about what you have lost. Your brother. Your friends. Your wretched Moonmaiden's grace. It's/it is comical to me. (Yeah, bug in Infinity Explorer, not sure if he uses it's or it is. And once again: Jan. Binky. No retaliation.)
Rasaad: You tread on dangerous ground. (Clearly, it is a brilliant idea to fight the crazy once-Bhaalspawn that once tried to start a war for fun and prophet! Also, Moonmaiden RAAAWWRRRR. Because apparently Rasaad is that unbalanced.)
Sarevok: Oh? And what will you do about it? (Because this monk is just that horrible, with his utter lack of any other comments to me and personal grievances.)
STUPID CHARNAME: Teach him a lesson, Rasaad. He'll not stop poking you until you poke back. (Wee, I like it when my partymembers try to kill each other, lolz!)
Sarevok: So be it! (Attacking people is fun! Wee! /leaves party and tries to kill Rasaad)
I mean... that's it. That's seriously all the dialog they have together. There are two options poking Sarevok to get him to stop the fight with no other requirements, but... seriously. They will actually attempt to kill each other despite never otherwise talking to each other save for this, which seems wildly out of character for both of them.
And despite that, there's no dialog with Rasaad and a Good Sarevok (or any other dialog between evil Sarevok and Rasaad), although I'm sure Rasaad would be wondering about his brother, if he could have been redeemed, etc etc drama drama that might have actually been decent. No. All he cares is Moonmaiden RAWRRR. Oh, Rasaad. How far you have fallen, my sweet boy.
