I don't know if it will be considered cheating, but if the wishes are powerful enough to potentially pull the Netherese Orb from me or stop a war or any other significant event, I think--
[ he starts to bring his hand up again, realizes astarion is going to smack him a second time, and puts it down in his lap instead. ]
If even one of us survives to the end, perhaps we could use its power to restore life. It wouldn't ... solve our problems, so to speak, but we'd be alive to consider those problems.
It’s not cheating if it’s smart enough to beat the people in charge at their own game.
[ he’ll stand by that. and yes, he IMMEDIATELY stares at gale’s hand like just you try that again. i dare you. ]
But it would also mean all three of us making the same wish, trying to find our partners to make that wish in the first place and throwing ourselves further into the danger zone by tying our lives to someone else’s. The thing I was very against in the beginning, we remember this, yes?
[honestly sometimes she does find the jokes funny sometimes, but astarion is right, today she just frowns. big frown.]
Gale.
[anyway proceeds to be a huge hypocrite]
Haven't really got anything to contribute. [...] Just that we've got to be ready. And that there's always a chance one of us is going to end up standing in that graveyard, one way or another.
If it's me, I want you to take me out. Don't let me keep going.
[ sorry he should have had a career in comedy that was a banger. coming over to put the blanket around her shoulders
such as the follow up joke where he respects the hustle karlach but also how do you expect him to possibly take you out without magic he’d just die instantly. ]
It will not be you, not would I let that happen. We shouldn’t worry about digging any graves until a problem presents itself at any rate.
[ after a moment he will flop down next to her. because she's the saddest girl ever right now and he doesn't Like That. ]
I assumed we'd all get stuck together one way or another. [ ... ] Although, I don't know how much being together would change things if something happened.

Hm. So, a loophole then. Even if it is one that would require a significant amount of memory loss.
no subject
And a significant amount of lost time we most likely don't have.

Yes, I doubt the remaining of the Dead Three’s little devotees are going to sit back and politely wait for us to done being dead amnesiacs.

[she's been watching them go back and forth, half passed out where she's laying.]
Can't stop you from finding your partner or going for it, but I wish you wouldn't. Don't want to bury another friend.
[she knows there aren't a lot of options otherwise to fix things for the two of them, though. she knows she wants her cake and to eat it too.]

[ dont make this joke right now. but okay, okay, getting up to go fetch one of the blankets at least. ]
We don’t have to discuss this now, if you’d rather rest. It always turns a tad circular anyway.

We've got to stay together this upcoming week. Just in case the doors lock again.
