“You must know that you’re… That you’re very special to me. If things were different, if we were home, I’d have taken the time to do things properly. To say it all better. But time is short. I’m in love with you.”
“Oh, darling, I think you’re truly remarkable, but I’m sorry. I… I can’t give you what you want.”
“ I see well perhaps this is for the best. Should my time be short, you will not be wounded too deeply by my absence. Thank you, for spending this time with me. I think I want to be alone now.”
“I’ll go, but gods, Gale, please believe me: I would be wounded. Deeply. …Goodnight.”🥲
I was debating whether or not I wanted everyone else’s confessions of love for Cressida to be canon, but I just played through this one again and it made my heart hurt enough that it must be 😭 Cressida not wanting to hurt him and not feeling like that about him but also knowing that her brand of affection just like isn’t what he needs/deserves, that she’s like too fake by her nature, that he needs someone with more natural honesty than she’s capable of
Then Cress returning to camp and Astarion making a comment and her being like “hey careful that sounds like jealousy” with a flippant tone because they’ve said they’re just for fun but by now they both have secret feelings. Then in the morning Gale saying that they’re good and Cress admitting/realizing that he’s her first real friend, that no one ever really mattered but that holy shit he matters please don’t die
I love them 🥲
