#gale coming in with the 'this next trick is EXTREMELY dangerous. feel free to try it at home :)'

[tenojan-in-tevinter]

I absolutely love every time Gale warns Tav about something potentially dangerous, and Tav agrees, saying "that's why you should avoid it as much as possible," and Gale immediately is all like "well let's not be hasty!!" "Never say never!" "I didn't say we shouldn't use it!" Etc etc. It's just funny to me

Dark Star Falling (1 of ?)

Star-

I can talk a devil into killing himself but for some reason when I try to tell you how I feel nothing comes out quite right. So here I am, having gone thru more paper than Klagga trying to confess his love to Minthara.

I don’t understand why you didn’t want to bite the blood merchant. I respect your decision not to, of course, but I don’t understand what’s different about her. We both want you to bite us. Was it because I was reluctant at first? Or because I punched you for killing me? Because I was your first? I didn’t really believe you when you said you caught feelings for me. You seemed so sincere and you’re an awful liar, but it doesn’t make sense. Just because I’ve been kind to you. I’m kind to everyone (as far as they know). Did I trick you, somehow, into believing I’m worthy of affection?

But then I almost killed you and you made jokes about it and I fell in love with you. I liked you from the moment I saw you. I know that was the line you used on me, but it’s true. I liked it when you put a knife to my throat and called my neck darling. Not just because I’m a depraved pervert tho. I saved Shart and Gale and even Lae’zel (the second time). I liked that I didn’t need to save you. Even tho I think we both know you would’ve died in the wilderness without me. You really did need my protection, but I like that you picked me instead of just getting stuck with me.

My butler said something when he was telling me to kill you. He said that you’re afraid of everyone except me, who you should be the most afraid of. He’s right, but that’s also why I love you. He also said you’ll never believe that I love you for more than your looks. I’m writing this because I don’t want that to be true. I’ll tell you that you’re beautiful whenever you want and it’ll be true but it’s not your piercing eyes and your dangerous smile that I want. You make me feel safe, like you’re covering my blind spots. Your jokes make me laugh, and you accept all of me even tho I’m messy and I stick my arm in stuff and lick things and make, sometimes, extremely catastrophic mistakes like destroying a building on top of you. Which is important because I’m never going to stop doing any of that (except, hopefully, the building thing).

We’re going to the coronation tomorrow and then into the city and I’m pretty sure that I’m going to find out that I’m bhaalspawn. Orin hasn’t exactly been subtle in calling me out. I’ve been piecing things together. That I went to moonrise and Orin ambushed me and destroyed my brain and put me in a pod. I also found something. A letter or a prayer. Everything I’ve found is in my pack, if you want to read it. But the short version is that I think I have history with Enver Gortash (and I mean sex, just so we’re clear). I think things are going to get even messier.

No matter what happens or how bad it gets in Baldur’s Gate I love you. We’re going to kill Cazador and set you free. I love you. I want to make your next two centuries joyful. I love you. I want to be there with you when this is all over. I love you. Please love me too.

-Your Darling
