[Gale watches as Astarion unravels before him, wondering if this was the right thing to do - if sating some curiosity was worth the distress he's caused. Knowledge is always a worthwhile pursuit, yes, but at what cost? Was it worth it this time, seeing how Astarion has taken this revelation?

Gale steps in front of Astarion, wanting to pull him into his arms, but uncertain if he should; his eyes instead trail to the flower in his hands.]
Perhaps... he thinks so poorly on it because he lost someone there. I certainly would, were it me.
