    Summary

    Gale Dekarios is four years old, which is a very fine age for having important thoughts about magic and sandwiches. He lives in a rather small but very cozy house in Baldur’s Gate with his mother, Morena, and a tressym named Tara, whom he had summoned all by himself on a particularly curious afternoon.

    One day, when the sun sat just right in the sky, and it was warm enough to wander, Gale decided it was an excellent day for a walk. But then, further along than he usually went, Gale found a new house. It was very big, with a tall stone wall all around it. The sort of wall that said someone important lives here. He found a small opening at the bottom of the house where some bricks had fallen out.

    And in that opening, there was a room below, lit by a single lamp on the ceiling. A basement. And in the middle of the basement, cross-legged and perfectly still except for his hands, sat a little elf.

    This was very curious to Gale, because there were no baby elves in Baldur’s Gate.

    Summary

    “I think that means you lost.”

    “On a technicality, really.” Astarion attempts to refute, but finds he starts going adrift in the way Gale looks so satisfied with himself, having bested the proprietor of taste and confidence. “How far off is a peach from a plum?”

    “Pretty far, I reckon. And a loss is a loss.” Gale says, and sets down his cup in between them. “But all is not dashed so quickly, Astarion! Take comfort in the fact that this means you are permitted a chance to earn a new honorific.” When Astarion looks up at him in confusion, he quickly adds, “I am sure you are aware of the adage that hot people always tip well, are you not?”

    Ah, well…who is he to dispute that?
