    Summary

    Astarion wouldn't dare compare Gale’s very clearly lovingly maintained kitchen to a campfire and a chest of pilfered cheese and stale bread. But the feeling of it, the easy companionship, sharing the day’s burden of woes with someone who understands? That's familiar. And that, he didn't even realise he missed. Only now, watching Gale potter around his kitchen and chatter in much the same way he used to potter around the cookpot, Astarion feels… settled.
    Maybe even comfortable.
    Oh.
    Oh dear.
    Before he can stand and take his leave, go back to the contract in Calimshan and pretend this embarrassing little episode never happened, Gale sets a goblet down in front of him.
    Just in passing. Drops it off on his way to the teapot. Like he thinks nothing of it.
    But it's blood. Fresh, too. Pig, if Astarion's nose can be trusted, which obviously it can. He takes a tentative sip. Then downs the rest before Gale has finished pouring his tea.
    “It's warm,” Astarion says, nonplussed, staring at the now-empty goblet. It would be beneath his dignity to lick it. He's no starving wretch now. But it is tempting all the same.

    Summary

    Upstairs, there’s a sharp, sudden clatter, followed by the predictable but no less unsettling “Fuck!” that always follows.

    Downstairs, Richie winces but fights off the instinct to run, to call out, to help however he can. They’ve gone over it so many times that he still feels the sting of Eddie’s words — “I don’t need you babying me, Rich!” — and the twinge of guilt that goes along with the memory. He grips the armrest of the couch, an anchor and a reminder.

    But then there’s a muffled thud and a refrain of “Fuck, fuck,” this time quiet and anguished, and that Richie can’t ignore.
