We are not putting my old heart in the nasty swamp water! Hags live in there!
[probably!!!
she holds the box closer to her chest. she does not know this but i will tell you right now it is not preserved, magically, help. and then:]
... The process of putting this one in wasn't fun, so I don't really want to re-create the process, Gale. [she says, expression sour.] I don't know how it got here. I'm not even sure it's actually mine, like I know what it looked like. Could be any old heart that they put in my box to be funny.
[this seems like a funny prank a devil would play, tbh]
No, sorry. Sorry, Gale, I know. [she does look genuinely sorry. it's a finicky topic. and then, when astarion speaks up, she gets all floofy and big like a miyazaki protag.]
[ watches her stomp off with a fleshy heart in a box. ]
Murdering a hag is lovely if she comes up out of the swamp. I'm the one who sucks blood around here, I'm not about to let those little leeches get any more of mine exchange.

[ yucky! gale looks like a slightly kicked dog. ]
I'm of no mind to torture you, Karlach, I just thought-- [ that was what she wanted? a regular-degular heart back? ] Nevermind.

[ please. they had to do things legitimately, he didn't have the strength to shove auntie ethel into a pit. ]
...
[ oh. well.
he just leans back and looks between this like a priss at a tennis match. ]
...
If it's any old heart then just toss the box back into the swamp and be done with it.

[ and looking at astarion too!!!!! honestly he kind of gets what he was going for here, so he doesn't also scold him. ]
No apologies are necessary. Though I might reiterate the need to put it somewhere cold enough to preserve it with some haste.

Then stop dithering and grumbling, and get it somewhere it won’t rot, or you’re not going to have any choice in the matter.
[ say with little Pointing Motions for emphasis. gods. ]
If there’s a hag here I’m setting the swamp on fire.
no subject
I'm going, I'm going.
[her tail curls around her leg lightly as she walks, holding the box. she doesn't say anything about murdering a hag, which may be concerning, but.]

Hardly even excited about murdering a hag? That is quite serious.

-- Actually, Astarion, if you need to eat, come ask me, alright?
