[ patted .......... well he will do his best, it is probably something of a yakety sax routine and gale will complain the entire time that this would, in fact, be incredibly easy if he had magic but you know. eventually. dumping him somewhere soft in one of these fancy lofts. ]
[ alas. no magic. there’s probably and equal amount of complaining from astarion as well, as he’s dragged around and unceremoniously dumped on a (throws dart) couch in one of these places. ]
And you don’t drop them? That is quite impressive. [ his tome collection. ]
… [ after a moment of consideration he shakes his head ]
Nothing that the Swamp hasn’t already dealt with. Stop fretting, other than being sore and grumpy I’ll be fine. [ he’ll give his hand a little squeeze. ]
[ he doesn't necessarily sound as if he believes that astarion being grumpy is a good outcome but he'll let him do this if he wants. i'm sure he'll be fine. he'll be fine! ]
... Not a bad location, overall, no? It's been quite a while since we've been anywhere with a fully intact roof, let alone some semblance of comfort.
True. Did this just appear out of nowhere…? Perhaps we should be more suspicious of it, but I truly am not sure I can bring myself to care when it has an actual bed. [ so comfy. so cosy. ]
Perhaps a reward for exploration of some kind? Or yes, some kind of horrible trap we will come to regret.
[ gently pulling him back over to lean against his shoulder again. ]
... I think you'd quite like Waterdeep, actually. I don't know how attached you are to Baldur's Gate, but it is known as the City of Splendors for a reason.
[ he allows himself to be pulled, and, after a moment, turns his face so he can curl a little closer. healed though he may be, the swamp still has side effects and they are more than a little distracting. ]
I can’t say I have many strong memories of it before everything. And most of my other memories are of some of the worst parts of it — then again, I was certainly part of all that. [ hmm. ] You did always sing Waterdeep’s praises.
[ look they can not have defined anything but the nature of the undefined relationship seemed to include casual contact so, taking advantage of that. schnuggling. ]
You would enjoy it greatly! Even after the sun has set the streets are lively, there’s almost always some sort of festival or another happening - there’s arts and music and magic abounding. The food is also difficult to beat.
[ well he’s realizing he’s uhauling right in the middle of doing it but i guess forging ahead anyway. no turning this subaru around. ]
Only if the thought appeals, of course. I wouldn’t wish to tie you down to anywhere you didn’t wish to go. It’s a large tower, as well. Plenty of room.
Truly, I hadn’t considered the after. [ … ] I’d like to travel around without the tadpoles, or Cazador breathing down my neck. Waterdeep included.

[ wow maybe he is growing as a person. anyway he will actually stand at this point, hauling him up too. ]
Ready?
no subject
well, he's being hauled up!! there he goes. luckily his arms and such are healed up, so he doesn't hurt himself in the process. ]
As I'll ever be, darling.

Should have reconsidered stabbing Karlach if you wanted to be carried everywhere.
[ too soon? ]
no subject
She wasn’t carrying me anyway. I’m truly mistreated.
[ she could’ve princess carried him. we were robbed. ]

reaching to take the hand that was hitting him and just holding it instead, running a thumb over the back of his knuckles. ]
I quite apologize, it seems I haven't sufficiently done my duty.
no subject
he hmms slightly. ]
Please. I weigh more than a tome, you’d have a terrible time of it.
no subject
[ anyway, ]
... Where, exactly, are you hurt still? I should probably know just in case.
no subject
[ stop that ]
… Less than before. The wounds on my legs are a little sore but ultimately not going to kill me. [ robin with the steel chair after though. ]
no subject
You know very well I am not. I'm saying there are likely tomes in my collection that weigh as much as two of you.
[ frowning a bit, looking him over to see if he can't see what's wrong exactly. ]
Still-- did you need medication? Food?

i’m so glad they were disasters about this. bg3 continues to be the (flurry voice) lesbian u-haul game even outside of the game itself. ]
…
Are you suggesting I pay it a visit once our many pressing issues are resolved? [ cults, the brain, the tadpoles, etc etc ]
no subject
I wouldn’t be bringing it up if that weren’t the case? [ optimistic? yes. ] More than a visit, if you’d like.
no subject
he’s so optimistic. we love confidence. ]
Oh? Less holiday, more relocation?
