[ Astarion beams. Gale is so nice, and so easy to extort things from. Their very own little dog, wagging his tail and begging to be liked. He places a delicate hand over his heart, turning solemn. ]

Oh, I'd never spend money in an ill-advised way.

[ It can't be ill-advised if you don't take advice in the first place. Astarion is a horrible, reckless spender, too excited by the concept of 'having things' to control himself in any meaningful way. It isn't just the excitement of having something pretty in his possession—although that's certainly part of it—but also the wonderful feeling of getting to choose, of being a real person again. He'd longed for so many things during his time as a spawn: a shiny ring in a window, a book on the shelf, a nice bottle of wine. Now, he's determined to buy himself all of the things he could never have. ]

I expect we'll need to trance first [ —because screaming at each other is a bit exhausting— ] but we'll be out of your hair [ and in his wallet ] the moment the sun goes down.
