You are correct. It was not right of me to do.

You were doing me a great kindness and I've ended up spitting it into your face, and I sincerely apologize.

[ not the sincere icon.

he just stares at him for a moment and then puts a hand over his face. ]

...

[ what the fuck. (astarion voice) what the fuck do i do with actual sincerity. ]

Yes... well. You're telling Vin.

I will tell Vin.

[ just. reaching over to put a hand on his arm for a second, and then letting it drop. ]

It is my mistake.

[ i’d copy the introspective from karlach’s thread here but i’m on mobile and that’s awful—

but it’s the same reasons why when gale drops his hand from astarion’s arm he’ll find it grabbed and squeezed just a little too tightly. ]

I know. To all three — [ he’s sorry, it’s his mistake, he’ll tell vin ]

… It’s fine. We need to get this right and— [ emotions are exhausting how do you both do it. ] It’ll be easier with all of us on the same page.

[ squeezing the hand back, though it's clear he's still shaking a little. ]

Hah. Yes. There it is again. [ nodding a bit. ] Same page.

[ ah. well, yeah he can feel that. he’ll peer out through the hand still dramatically on his face and watch gale for a moment. ]

…

[ he squeezes his hand. ]

Many heads are better than one, or whatever the saying is.
