Summary
“Ah,” Gale startled, “Forgive me. I may have had a little too much to drink, I’m afraid.”
The stranger chuckled, and the sound slid like silk down Gale’s spine.
“What’s the occasion, may I ask?”
“The worst day of my life,” Gale replied, louder than he meant to. He raised his glass in a mock toast and tossed the last of the bourbon back.

Summary
"But first things first. I'm not a whore. If we’re going to do anything tonight, darling, I’ll need to stay a few more days. Are we understood?" It's a half-truth, a sliver of honesty woven into the elaborate lie. He may not be whoring himself out anymore, but survival has a way of twisting morals. Without anyone watching his back, Astarion wouldn't last a day out there with no protection or ammo. His last clip went dry ages ago. If he can't gain this man’s trust, he’d be dead before sunrise. Maybe not from the infection itself, but getting ripped apart by those things is a real possibility – not to mention the raiders and cannibals that terrified him more than those fungus creatures.
Gale's grip on the blanket tightens, knuckles turning white.

Summary

Summary
“Fine,” she said. “Do you know the statistically most common way for the authorities to take out organized crime?”
Well, if that was her idea of enticing conversation, it was no wonder she had all those evenings free to chase after scoundrels like him. Still, Astarion didn’t want to antagonize her further and ruin the game, so he pursed his lips and guessed, “A very large, well-placed cannon?”
“Tax fraud.”
She looked at him as if she expected some sort of reaction – maybe a dramatic gasp? A palm flung to his forehead in a theatrical rendition of How could I not think of this?
Everything he could muster was a blink. “Tax … fraud.”
She nodded, obviously excited about what Astarion was sure were two of the most boring words in the English language, combined.
"That's how we'll take down Cazador."
