Summary
“...I envy your faith. I wish I could see like you do.”
She pulled her quarterstaff from her back, using it to push herself up from the ground. She held out a hand to him. “Would you like me to show you?”
After killing the monster hunter, Astarion practically threw himself at Morrigan. As fond of him as she was, Morrigan wanted to know if it was because he wanted to be with her, not just because he thought that's what she wanted in return for a favor. As she talked with him, they somehow get on the topic of her faith as a Druid.

Summary
“Do you stargaze often?”
She shrugged. “When I’m unsettled. When I was young and first joined my Circle, the High Druid, Orren, would teach me the constellations whenever I was sleepless.”
“I thought Druids were usually adults by the time they joined their Circles?” Astarion cocked his head to the side as he asked the question. He hadn’t had many interactions with Druids before meeting Morrigan, but he hadn’t seen any non-Tiefling children in the Emerald Grove.
Morrigan sighed. “It depends on the Circle, but you’re right for the most part. I was a special case.”
When a sleepless night for Morrigan turns into stargazing with Astarion, he ends up learning more about the Druid's past than he expected.

Summary
“The literal translation is tricky because it really doesn’t make sense.” Morrigan said with a sigh. “Technically it’s ‘your heart,’ but it’s used because it’s a fragment of another phrase.”
“Interesting. What phrase?” Wyll chimed in from his side of the suite.
A slight blush rose to her cheeks. “The full phrase is Zaer al-saavra. It means ‘my heart calls to yours’ more or less.”
“Aw, that’s cute,” Karlach said with a smile.
Morrigan nodded. “In Orcish, you only say that to your lover and your children. There’s a completely different phrase for friends and battle brothers and such.”
Gale nodded. “Such an interesting language.” Morrigan looked pleased with herself. It wasn’t often that she got to teach the Wizard something. “There was one other thing I caught, a bit after that. ‘Liira-t’sol’ I believe.”
“Fallen star,” she said casually.
In Orcish, we don't say "I love you." We say "Zaer al-saavra," which roughly translates to "my heart calls to yours." I think that's beautiful.
