[ tearing the page out of the journal where he's written a copy, folding the paper and then offering it out to her. ]

... When I questioned our rapidly depleting numbers the other day, Pestilence did rather sharply remind me that they can count. And to perhaps calm myself a little.

[she takes it and holds it very tightly.]

Well, that's a little reassuring. [a sigh.] Fam told me the wish can be held onto for a while, by the way.

Whatever for? You're using it on yourself.

[ >:O

starting to write a 2nd copy for astarion, and then for himself. ]

This does indicate caution should be used in regards to this information.

[scowls.]

No, I'm holding onto it.

[folds her arms!! stubbornly!!]

I'm just showing you two. Rondo said he and Kate wanted to make sure at least one person from every household saw it, but we can't talk about this at large, yeah?

Speaking of wishes. How’s the hunting going?

[a beat.]

Oh. Fuck, I forgot to tell you, didn't I.

[ just looks at her like yes, go on. i understand i am not loved. (no) ]

[HELP STOP I DIDN'T GET THE CHANCE TO BEFORE THIS AAAA]

I mean, I found my partner.

[ alone. unloved. the tiniest violin plays. no i’m kidding. ]

Oh? Are you allowed to share or is that still a big secret?

Well, I can't tell you who it is, but I can tell you I got an upgrade. I can cast an illusion - sorry Gale - for up to twelve hours.

Hm. That is quite a step up from the dream thing, isn’t it?

It's a bit unreasonable how much of a step up. [vaguely amused.] Only once a week, but still.

[ love and appreciate her apologising to gale too like. sorry babe, i’m stepping in your territory now. ]

And we are aware of loopholes to save people if half a partnership dies as well… [ hmmm. ] Another benefit, if it comes to that.

[HONESTLY SHE FEELS A LITTLE BAD ABOUT IT SHE KNOWS HE WANTS HIS MAGIC]

Yeah. I... know at least one person. I've told my partner I'll tell them who to go to somehow if I die. [...] I think the person I know would partner with me if I asked. If I needed.

Just hoping it doesn't come to that.

[ stealing magic, hearts, this is karlach’s it girl moment. ]

… I’d hope it doesn’t come to that. [ not even said nicely, just a big fat no. denied. ] As long as you have something in place for if something did happen to your partner.
