That was suspiciously easy. No lingering amused remarks or jabs you intend to make? Or perhaps you're just spacing them out, so I don't develop an immunity too quickly.

[ see??? grumpy attitude. case closed. ]

We? I'll remind you I practically already skewer your meals for you. Do you want me to slice out arteries and hand-feed you next?

Perhaps we wouldn't be in this predicament if you hadn't insisted rabbit was "too small" or that the last band of mercenaries smelled "unripe".

I'm not sure I quite agree. While vampires didn't exactly ignite my interest prior to our meeting, there's something about pitching one's tent a stone's throw away from a spawn that piques the academic curiosity.

I wasn't in despair. I just so happen to care about how you perceive me. Shocking, I know.

I couldn't to begin with, given your unique diets of blood, magical artifacts, and dirt.

[ thanks karlach ... ]

What was that about a wonderful attitude again?

Oh, it would be terribly uncouth to simply ask the subject of one's curiosities.

Then again, I suppose couth is a tad bit overrated! You've clearly a preference for sapient beings' blood, present company excluded. Why would a friendly neighborhood vampire not choose to subsist on squirrels?

As you say. Best of luck with your peculiar case of indigestion.

Well, you see. I'm daft and sometimes I need things spelt out for me.

[ Astarion has such a way of seeming like he doesn't care at all, like this is nothing to him. For Gale, who cares far too much about everything all the time, it's impossible to imagine ever being that way. He certainly would have remembered exactly where he found the book. ]

Ah, [ he says, knowingly. Theft. ] Your misappropriation is greatly appreciated! Well, by me, at least. I imagine someone is sorely missing this.

[ He would be heartbroken if someone stole something like this from him — and yet his tone shows little empathy for the grimoire's former owner. Whatever sorry soul Astarion took a souvenir from, it's Gale's now. Difficult to get bogged down in morality when Astarion's misdeeds have produced such an exciting prize. Besides, it's not as if he can return it now.

Gale takes a moment, deep in thought, then says,
] I suppose I could offer more than my gratitude, if you were interested. I couldn't help but notice you're quite the reader yourself.

[ At least, if how he spends his time in camp is any indication. He can't imagine Astarion's taste in literature, but whatever it is, Gale's certain it could be improved with his input (as could all things). ]

Perhaps you might like to borrow something. I've a veritable cornucopia of excellent literary taste.

Make it ten squirrels, then. Surely that's enough to quench your thirst. Do you mean to say you'd still find the flavor profile unappetizing?

Good. Then no one is going to complain I threw them out a window or stabbed their table with a sword or something. That's... good. Surprising, but good.
