Summary
"But first things first. I'm not a whore. If we’re going to do anything tonight, darling, I’ll need to stay a few more days. Are we understood?" It's a half-truth, a sliver of honesty woven into the elaborate lie. He may not be whoring himself out anymore, but survival has a way of twisting morals. Without anyone watching his back, Astarion wouldn't last a day out there with no protection or ammo. His last clip went dry ages ago. If he can't gain this man’s trust, he’d be dead before sunrise. Maybe not from the infection itself, but getting ripped apart by those things is a real possibility – not to mention the raiders and cannibals that terrified him more than those fungus creatures.
Gale's grip on the blanket tightens, knuckles turning white.

Summary
He can see it now: Their team toppled over, exhausted, hope lost. Bloodied, battered and bruised… sobbing at the acceptance of death before them. And then the wizard turns around. He imparts them a quiet melancholy smile. His eyes flicker to Astarion's and the vampire sees it: the decision made without his input. Gale mouths an, “I love you,” before snapping his fingers. Astarion and the rest are teleported to safety and in the distance they see an explosion.
Astarion shakes his head, “No! Stop!” His hand frees from under his lover as he rubs both his hands across his face. Gale awakens suddenly, eyes wide and in a split second he's up running his hands through his curls, soothing the rogue.
“My love! Are you alright? What ever is the matter?!”
Astarion swats his hands away. “You! You fool! And you would do it, too!”
+++++++++++++
