[ he can see it! yay! there is a little relieved emotion there because y'know. they'd be going on for weeks about trying to get her heart sorted and now it worked out. like. holy fuck, it worked out for her, and all of them.
how in the nine hells did they pull that off. ]
... [ a ] Did you at least say hello to each other before you shoved him on the nearest flat surface, darling?
It's sort of amazing to know he wants me as bad as I want him. In all the ways. [she says, finally, tail swishing back and forth. she glances over her shoulder at him.] And? What about you and Gale?
You seem surpised by this. Like people aren't into tall, strong women with big hearts who could bench press them and tell them all the good things about themselves with complete sincerity.
[ oh well. hm. the emotions now are startled cat. ]
[ he truly has like no idea what he's doing and that's scary!!! it scares him!! emotional vulnerability?? kill him (again).
but it's nice too. ]
I'm-- [ hmm. ] I'm not really sure what happened. But I'm glad it did? [ even if he did die like four days later and leave gale behind and that's pretty bad actually. ]
[there's a little glitter of like heehee yay in her emotions.]
The two of you both deserve something sweet. [but - yeah. the dying is a problem.] And he'll treat you right, I know he will - once we get out of here, once we've got all this settled.
Did you kiss? [she'd be a bit more waggles eyebrows but she doesn't want to make light of... well, his hang ups.]
I know. He already was, the-- [ ... ] I can't really say much about it, but he was helping me with something the week you died. He didn't have to go that far, but... [ well. he did. dove right in two feet first and there you go. ]
Ugh. I can't even be coy, you've already told me all about exploring Boothill's boot hills. [ stop. ] Yes.
[ he's more comfortable with karlach and gale that most other people anyway. ]
I might have snapped at him a bit after pulling his shirt open, but yes. [ what. ]
the hills comment was excellent and he will not be shamed for it. nat is going to tpk at some point, i feel it in my bones. they'd be justified. ]
... [ he taps his chest. ] He used his wish. The mark's pale now, like a regular scar. [ but also he did try to tug a guy's shirt off in the middle of a bioshock shopping centre, so. ]
[ THEY REALLY SOMEHOW JUST FIXED ALL THEIR ISSUES AND ALL IT TOOK WITH A MURDER DEATH CAMP. ]
Well, it seems like people have some ideas at least. For getting out of this mess. [ which is something. ] It all seemed rather fanciful, the wish thing. But here we are.
The most decadent thing you could think of was cheese. [ hmm ] Maybe pairing with some fancy wine, I’m sure he has some squirrelled away there.
[ ……… ]
Well, not Gale’s world. I’m fairly sure Gale wouldn’t have an issue with himself showing up— or whether it would just cause things to merge together in some way? [ hm. ] And you have a fancy cyborg to think about as well, my dear.

... [ a ] Did you at least say hello to each other before you shoved him on the nearest flat surface, darling?
no subject
We said hello! [a beat.] And then I carried him to his room, so.
[tail flick.]
It's... like I said, it's a little more than that, but he's really good.
no subject
So, barely. Is what I'm hearing.
[ hmm. ]
To you, or with the extendable attachments he's working with? [ smiles ]
no subject
also HELP SHE LAUGHS]
Both! He knows how to use his tongue. [winks.] But... to me, too. Knows all the right things to say.
[she's a little more shy here. there's affection that's approving love, but she's too scared to say it, so she doesn't.]
no subject
Even with those teeth? [ he's going to be talking to boothill later and just looking at his mouth like 'heh' good for her. ]
I would say you deserve that, the extendable equipment and everything else.
no subject
It's sort of amazing to know he wants me as bad as I want him. In all the ways. [she says, finally, tail swishing back and forth. she glances over her shoulder at him.] And? What about you and Gale?
[thinkin about the EMOTIONS from earlier!!!]
no subject
You seem surpised by this. Like people aren't into tall, strong women with big hearts who could bench press them and tell them all the good things about themselves with complete sincerity.
[ oh well. hm. the emotions now are startled cat. ]
no subject
I guess when you put it that way. [but never mind her, she tugs his hand.] Come on. I've told you everything, you have to tell me.
no subject
startled cat becomes nervous cat i guess. ]
Gale is... Gale?
no subject
[gently... but also like, c'mon!!!]
It's alright to say you care about him.
no subject
but it's nice too. ]
I'm-- [ hmm. ] I'm not really sure what happened. But I'm glad it did? [ even if he did die like four days later and leave gale behind and that's pretty bad actually. ]

no subject
You did what?
[grinning.]
I'll ignore the hills comment if you tell me exactly why you pulled his shirt open.
no subject
the hills comment was excellent and he will not be shamed for it. nat is going to tpk at some point, i feel it in my bones. they'd be justified. ]
... [ he taps his chest. ] He used his wish. The mark's pale now, like a regular scar. [ but also he did try to tug a guy's shirt off in the middle of a bioshock shopping centre, so. ]
no subject
she stops walking and grabs both of astarion's hands, grinning.]
Really? Really really? [TAIL GOIN LIKE CRAZY] Ohhh, both of you! With your eyes, and he's - fuck the orb!
[AAAAAAAAAA]
no subject
THIS A LOT. ]
And your heart. Can you believe we actually pulled it off?
no subject
I almost can't. [she says, laughing. she swings their hands.] Astarion, this is... this is more than anything I thought we'd get.
Even if we don't make it at the end - which we will, I'm going to make sure of it - we managed this.
no subject
Well, it seems like people have some ideas at least. For getting out of this mess. [ which is something. ] It all seemed rather fanciful, the wish thing. But here we are.
no subject
I'm so excited for you. For - all of us. [bright, blooming happiness.] You get to see the sun, when we go back. Forever, as long as you want.
no subject
… Yes. I’ll never have to worry about getting burned by the sunlight again, will I? Even when we figure out the tadpoles.
no subject
[...]
You and Gale can be in his big old wizard tower and eat fancy cheeses all day.
no subject
[ their different worlds…. ]
Cheeses? [ WHY THE CHEESES ]
no subject
[amused, at the cheese, but also:]
... I don't know, though. Where we're going. We'll have to all talk about it - I don't really want to have to go back alone, you know?
no subject
[ ……… ]
Well, not Gale’s world. I’m fairly sure Gale wouldn’t have an issue with himself showing up— or whether it would just cause things to merge together in some way? [ hm. ] And you have a fancy cyborg to think about as well, my dear.
