#and like not from Astarion's pov since they have a history of not getting along

[aro-tarot]

And that's another chapter done. My writing beta, aka my nana, is going to read it tomorrow.

This next chapter got some more Astarion and Karlach friendship since I can't just not write more of the two of them.

One friendship that I haven't gotten to yet in the story that I'm excited to explore is that I picture Nulihn in the game is good friends with Wyll. My plan had been to have the fourth party spot be a spot for Wyll and Gale to share, especially since when I beat the game on the same subclass, I just had Gale pretty much the whole time, especially since Rowan ended up becoming good friends with him. (Which I had not been expecting since my first character, who I've neglected since I prefer Durge over Tav, didn't really like Gale much.) Nulihn, however, hasn't had Gale in the party much. I keep just not switching out Wyll lol. I do kind of picture that out of the two, Nulihn would be closer to him. But yeah, so far in the story, Nulihn has only met Wyll, and the situation overshadowed the possibility of making new friends. Also, Wyll doesn't like Astarion for reasons that Astarion doesn't know yet, so I'm planning on having Wyll make an appearance in a few chapters again soon.
