    Summary

    And then there’s Gale.

    He seems almost too easy to manipulate. So full of arrogance from his magical genius and yet somehow still brimming with self doubt - his is the type of ego Astarion knows exactly how to massage. Some impressed looks, a heartfelt compliment about his abilities, and then just as he is starting to believe he has Astarion’s admiration: a period of cold indifference. Gale will be seeking his approval before he even realises how much he has come to rely on his new companion. It’s a tactic so formulaic it would be boring, did his life not depend on it.

    Astarion needs allies and Gale is a perfect combination of powerful and easy to manipulate.

    He has no idea just how much Gale really has to offer him, nor how much he has to offer in return.
