Summary
Essek draws out the spool of platinum cord from his component pouch. He loops it around his own wrist before catching Caleb’s wrist and repeating the motion. Caleb blinks, staring down at the wire before meeting Essek’s gaze again. Essek feels him start to tug his hand out, and tightens his grip.
“Do you trust me?”
“I—” Caleb starts, before breaking off, his blue eyes wide.
“Do you trust me?” he repeats, more urgently this time. He has only moments before the door behind him will burst open.
———
In which Essek teaches Caleb the practical application of tether essence.

Summary
Gale finds Astarion after Tav kicks him out for trying to bite him.

“Better people have died for worse reasons.”
Astarion starts, whether from the words or the anger in Gale’s voice, he’s uncertain. Those eyes narrow more, search over Gale’s face and then he laughs, quick and jagged as the dagger he points towards Gale. “Ah, is that a bit of bloodlust I detect in you, wizard?”
“Not particularly,” Gale lies, moving his hands to ball into fists behind his back. “But I have no shame in admitting I would have needed to feign weeping at the loss.”

Summary
“You look exhausted” he mumbles, not even trying to quip a joke, so it must be true. Eyes trained to where you are connected, the pads of his fingers grazing down your palms slowly and deliberately, a cooling blue magic, like creek water pooling in them, healing your cuts. “Can I help?” he asks, nonchalantly, as if it was nothing.
