“And Astarion... well, who knew what that enigmatic elf got up to while the others slept?”
Everything and nothing!
“Gale, darling, you’re thinking too loudly again,” Astarion interrupted, a teasing grin curling at his lips.”
Okay is he actually thinking too loudly, or is he broadcasting via tadpole?? (The later would be so funny)
“It was selfish of him to want more than these moments—more than their banter, their shared work. But every time Astarion was near, every time they touched, that selfish desire grew stronger.”
I think Gale has some misconceptions about selfishness. (And I know because I’m in this image and I don’t like it /j)
“ After all, Gale knew that no one was as selfish as he. / Especially not Astarion Ancunin.”
Someone has failed an insight check somewhere I think!
1) I feel like Gale just has this face when he’s thinking way too hard, like his eyes are just glazed over and his brow is furrowed and his lips are pressed in a line
2) He’s a guilt-ridden sweetheart, I hoped to convey that he was completely misunderstanding how he felt! (Also felt asf lmao/gen)
3) Failed insight checks add to the plot!! Gale may be wise but he isn’t the brightest 😂😂😂 I also edited the final line to hopefully be better!
