[ Woozy and sore, but otherwise fine: that's the condition Iorveth is in when he finally lifts himself off the armchair (terrible choice of location), chugs the contents of the vial, and follows Tara (after getting hissed at for trying to pet her) into the dining room with its enticing smells.
His stomach heralds his arrival before his voice does. A low grumble as a reminder to himself, too, that he's starving; he murmurs a soft "evening" to the two men sitting around the table, and wastes no time sitting down next to Astarion (who, by now, hopefully looks better rested and cleaner than he did in the morning) and reaching for the nearest plate of food (a bread basket full of freshly-baked herb pastries).
Gale's cooking is familiar by now; this, too, is a comfort. Iorveth demolishes everything within his line of reach, a one-man vacuum. After he's certain that the food won't run away from him, he finally opens his mouth for a purpose other than shoving things into it: ]
By all certainty, it was less glamorous than his recounting.
[ Buzzkill! But Iorveth won't say anything more than that, because he doesn't want to humiliate Astarion by using words like "kidnapped" and "fooled". Instead, he gives Gale a "thank you for the potion", and resolves to take a bath immediately after he finishes breakfast-dinner. ]
