Oh, certainly. Gale has always been a handsome lad, but Waterdhavian fashion has never quite favored him. I'd hoped once he had some friends who weren't ancient or ethereal that he might tidy up a bit, and I'm as pleased as a polymorphed puss that I was right. And I daresay that as much as Tara complained about it, I think the beard makes you look rather distinguished.

[Gale - more color dusting his cheekbones by the second - chimes in.]

Yes, my beard is wonderful and Astarion does take fantastic care of me. And we're more than just close. I was actually hoping to address that—

[Morena cuts him off, putting one hand behind his back and another behind Astarion's as she ushers them into the entryway.]

Now now, we can talk over dinner. I won't have you two starving to death on my doorstep after I've prepared such a feast for you.
