[gale like i am telling you about the time elminster came to tell me my ex said kill yourself
she's silent for a moment at that, her thoughts a scribble of angry, upset nonsense.]
I can't really... pull back now. [she's too entrenched, she thinks. what else is she supposed to do when everybody else's hurt seems so much more than her own? but.]
I trust you. More than anything. So I'll try. [...] Hey - I love you.
Astarion is a grown man. He can make his own choice regarding his condition, and if need be he can consult with Vin as well. But I would like for you to make this decision to help yourself. No one will begrudge you this. Quite the opposite, I think it will relieve a great many who are very, very worried for you.
Vin did not breathe a word, it is just that you are not very subtle, Karlach.
[ he says this with all the fondness in the world. ]
Know that the wish cannot cure the monster affliction, and that restoration to life may be a more complex procedure. And that I still have mine available - though I have every intention of using it upon the Orb. It is simply that right now the Orb remains a somewhat useful deterrent, I believe. There are also others who are not as in dire need of using theirs. You are.

... It's scary to think about. [she sniffs, brushing her face against her shoulder.] I'd accepted it, yeah? I was ready. As ready as I'd ever be.
I need it, right now. Just in case. But - I will. After trial and execution are over, I can try it.
[a beat.]
Did Vin tattle on me?

I said I would, Gale. [tiredly.]
no subject
[ but he does seem visibly relieved. ]
Thank you.

If I do it right now people are going to think I did a murder, Gale, it's noticeable. At least I can give some people explanations later.
[sigh.]
I know you're looking out for me.
