Summary
"A Bhaalspawn? Gosh."
Ziri shifts from foot to foot while Gale processes the news. He expected shock and horror. A thousand questions. Disgust, even. Not gosh.
"You ... don't seem very surprised," Ziri finally says.
(Or: The Dark Urge breaks it to his partner that he's a Bhaalspawn. Gale doesn't react how he expects.)

Summary
Karlach grins and flashes him a thumbs up.
Right. Strong, capable wizard ...
Gale heroically presses on. "So ... Ziri ... I, um ... once read a book ... that explained in some detail the effect a brush with danger has on one's desire for ... other forms... of stimulation."
There's a loud clatter. Ziri scrambles to catch the moonlantern, just barely grabbing it before it can shatter onto the table.
"... Have you ever read anything on that subject?"
(Or: Gale is pining. Karlach and Astarion help.)

Summary
"Surely, you have heard about Ziri by now."
"Yes? And?"
"And?" Gale laughs, incredulous. "And he was the leader of the Cult of Bhaal! The Chosen of the God of Murder! Do you know how many people he must have killed? How much suffering he must have caused? He pledged to end all life and existence in his father's name! He, he—" He winds his hand through his hair, at a loss. "He was the mastermind behind the Absolute plot. Worked with Gortash and Ketheric Thorm. Helped Gortash use the Crown of Karsus on the elder brain to create a soulless army of mindflayers. He's the reason why I have a tadpole in my eye. Why we all do! He's the reason we're here, why we've been fighting and running all across Faerûn. I ... I had no doubts about supporting him before, when he was a Bhaalspawn fighting against his nature. I promised to protect him, to believe the best in him. But now? Now I do not think I can ever trust him again."
"You think too much," Minsc says.
(Or: Gale is furious after learning his partner is one of the masterminds behind the Absolute Plot. Minsc helps him see things a little differently.)

Summary
"Gale. Gale! Wake up."
"Ugh ... " He blinks his eyes open. "Mm? What is it?"
"Would you still love me if I was a squid?"
Gale squints. "What?"
(Or: Ziri has a nightmare that he transforms into an illithid. Gale comforts him.)
