Summary
“I think that means you lost.”
“On a technicality, really.” Astarion attempts to refute, but finds he starts going adrift in the way Gale looks so satisfied with himself, having bested the proprietor of taste and confidence. “How far off is a peach from a plum?”
“Pretty far, I reckon. And a loss is a loss.” Gale says, and sets down his cup in between them. “But all is not dashed so quickly, Astarion! Take comfort in the fact that this means you are permitted a chance to earn a new honorific.” When Astarion looks up at him in confusion, he quickly adds, “I am sure you are aware of the adage that hot people always tip well, are you not?”
Ah, well…who is he to dispute that?

Summary
A hand—then, hands—on him, his chest. Sam's hands. They are thankful, but still frail and tentative. Just as the bud of an upolín hopes to emerge from snow in the early months, but the rosette isn't strong enough to break through the cold.
This is it. This is our goodbye, Henry considers bleakly. This is him, going to God.
The thought alone is reverentially terrifying.

Summary
“We are not brothers. At least, not in the way that it matters. Not by blood,” Samuel stalls, hands folded; like he’s thinking, hard. A twitch of his lip quirks the ends of his moustache up at attention. "Not right now."
It’s captivating, for what it’s worth—the way he weighs his words, bordering on impulsivity.
“Do you agree?”
Sure—of course. But where is this going?
“No, we aren’t,” Henry validates, a gulp embedded in his sternum. Perish the thought. “But it sounds good to say—that we’ve known the same man, I mean.”

Summary
“So is the Great Gale of Waterdeep admitting that he has a vampire fetish?”
He forces him a step backward with a strategic leg in between, hurried and fissured. The main objective is, of course, that they manage to inch ever closer towards the bed.
“I’ve been known to ah, carouse salaciously sanguine novelettes, if you will,” Gale blushes, then leans back in towards Astarion as if he can steal a kiss in between the points of his attempt at explanation. And he does. “But I’d like to think it indicates more of a, ah, attraction to a little bit of danger, if I’m being honest?”
Well. Quite.
“Oh, how felicitous it has been for you then—to find yourself in the company of the indubitable embodiment of your fiction fantasies, hmm?” He turns his index finger into a hook, then crooks it to skim along the curve of his collar; a sluice of a thing. “Does that make you my little monster-fucker?”

Summary
Astarion laughs. "Oh, is that why you're here? Do you want me to be kind to you, wizard?"
No. Not really.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
Gale's looking for something. He just might find it.

Summary
The Devil—Hynek—has a hand on Henry's hip that's a firm claim. Henry's crowded, flushed, bloodied. He could push him away and perhaps he should, but if this is a continuation of their sparring then he won't be the one to lose.

Summary
Lord Capon is the fussy type, in all things.
His wine, his bow, his squire—all kept within earshot or arm’s reach, or else he begins to grumble.
Unsurprisingly, given their current circumstances, Hans Capon has become even more unbearable than usual.

Summary
Astarion's fingertips perched on either side of split skin and pulled it taut, bringing the beading blood up to the surface where he could lave his tongue. Slow, awful, intentional. Gale arched into the pain and let it slip inside, only for a sudden hesitation to continue leaving him squirming.
What's a little wound care between friends?
