[ Tara, in the midst of nibbling on her meal, gives Iorveth an appreciative nod of the head at remembering his manners. If he hadn't, she would have had to have words with him — her Gale will not be taken for granted in his own home.
Astarion, on the other hand, should be annoyed by being beckoned like a dog, but making up with Iorveth and getting to participate in a meal like a real person have put him in a good mood. (How quickly he swings from one extreme to another; only hours ago, he was rooting through Gale's study, brooding about the future.) So, he offers Gale his own thanks for breakfast and takes Iorveth by the hand that isn't occupied with his plate to lead him back up the stairs and into the guest room. Gale calls after them, something about making sure not to leave crumbs on the bedsheets.
Back in the room, he takes the liberty of placing Iorveth's plate on the nightstand so that he can manhandle him onto the bed and crawl up beside him, slotting himself into the space created by Iorveth's body just for him. ]
I love you.
[ Just in case that was unclear at any point today. ]
