Summary
Astarion meant to let that be that. He turned heel and walked toward camp, expecting Gale to fall in step behind him. It was always so easy to predict the wizard's actions. Always easy to tell what he would do next.
But then again…
“What about you, Astarion?”
There was always room for surprises.
“If that’s true, what am I to you, then?” Gale’s voice was soft. Vulnerable.
Astarion hated vulnerable things.
---
Astarion had been forced into absolute obedience. Gale was expected to provide absolute subservience. It was all they knew for so long, that bereft of their masters they had nothing else.
They try to find something else on their journey, and begrudgingly finding something else in each other.
