[Both mother and son smile: Gale in lovestruck awe, and Morena in genuine satisfaction.]
Well, aren't you poetic? A man after Gale's own heart indeed. I could tell how taken he was with you the moment he said your name. [And with a quick look to Gale himself:] I'm sorry, sweetness. You're just not one to wear your heart anywhere but your sleeve.
[Gale can't help but sigh in solemn agreement.]
Yes, we're both well aware I'm not a liar by nature. Blame yourself for raising me to be so honest.
[She smirks, and Gale does the same in return. For all this talk about how little he does to take care of himself, he is an accomplished magician and adventurer - a former Chosen, a hero of Baldur's Gate. He'd brag about that last one, but that would require a lot of explanation he's not sure he's ready to get into. Know how perceptive his mother can be, he has no doubt she'll figure it out in time - and that's assuming Tara doesn't let it slip one day when she's had a bit too much catnip.
There is something he wants to tell her though, something near and dear to him, something he wants to announce to the world and sing from the rooftops. He hadn't gotten the chance to tell their friends, wanting his family to be the first to know; in his chest, his heart thuds quickly, heavily.]
On the subject of honesty, there is something I- that we wanted to tell you. Right, Astarion?
[He looks Astarion's way, though not to push him to speak so much as to gather his own courage.]
