Summary
“You're sure you’re ready for the role?” Nyssa teases. “Studied up? I can’t imagine there are too many books about infiltrating drow temples.”
Gale fiddles with his collar and leash, pinching it between his forefingers in a way that shouldn’t be distracting but is.
“Perhaps not specifically. You see, the problem about writing on drow society is one often does not make it up from the Underdark to hand pages to publisher. Of course there are many…less researched volumes. Of hapless men and leather-clad matrons. But I told Shadowheart I would be a gentleman, so that is all I will say on the more sordid parts of my education. You’ve nothing to fear.”

Summary
Astarion lets his eyes slip closed, the words soaking into him. “Poor little Chosen,” he teases, studying the faint lines of the orb as they trickle down from his under eye. “He doesn’t know how to do anything but worship.”
“Let me show you. Please.”
“I like it when you beg.”
“Astarion.” His name is like honey, like chocolate, like wine. Something decadent, every syllable indulged. “I’ve already availed you of one of my talents this evening—“
“Cocky.”
“—and I am eager to avail you of another.”

Summary
“Did you bring me here to make me sad, too? Because it’s working.”
“No, Astarion,” Gale sighs, finally tearing his gaze away from the aurora and meeting Astarion’s own eyes. “It’s because you’re the only person in camp who knows what it’s like to die.”
*
Having heard Mystra's orders, Gale comes to terms with his imminent death. He asks Astarion for one final favour, on his last night alive.
A kiss.
