Summary
The way he looked at her stripped away any room for misunderstanding. She wished to laugh, to make light of it, to pretend that what existed between them had not begun tilting dangerously from its equilibrium.
Somewhere along the way, her affections had crept up on her. After he'd introduced himself with a blade to her throat, she hadn't expected to value anything in his character. He was vain and cutting. His morality was malleable to an extent that it sometimes made her teeth ache. But he was wrong. He could behave terribly. But he wasn't terrible.

Summary
"You don’t recognize me?” he finally asks her, and for a second she is worried he is mocking her, but his voice is quiet and sad, and his eyes are too, “It’s me, Gale.”
“Oh,” is all she can muster.
Years after the Absolute is defeated, Gale finds Shadowheart in a dingy brothel, in a dingy town, under a different name.

Summary
As he stared at Tav, who was quietly organizing her pack by the fire, his half-formed thoughts and ideas suddenly crystallized into a cold, perfect plan. He’d seduce her, romance her, make her feel like she was the only girl in the world. And after he had given her the night of her life, positively ruined her for anyone else, he’d begin whispering in her ear. He’d become her lover, her confidant. And then she would become his puppet. That was more than a fair trade. He’d have a gorgeous meal, his space would be guaranteed in their little group, at the top where he belonged, and then somehow, he didn’t know how, but, somehow, Tav would waltz their merry band back to Baldur’s Gate and drive a stake right through Cazador Szarr’s heart. For him. Afterwards, well, Tav had served her purpose. Then he could truly do as he pleased.
Astarion smiled a wide, real smile and finished his wine, wincing at the cheap, bitter taste.
At that moment Tav looked up from her supplies and caught him staring. He raised his empty goblet to her and she waved back, a warm smile softening her lovely features.
This was going to be so easy.

Summary
“I mean it,” she said. “Don’t kill anyone, Astarion. You’ve gotten what you wanted. Seven thousand lives was enough.”
“I don’t take orders from you anymore. You just said so, yourself.”
“The moment you kill someone,” Rose replied, “is the moment I'll know that my next task is to stop you.”
“Darling,” Astarion grinned, “I would sincerely like to see you try.”
