[Tav smirks as he slides down Gale's body to kneel over Gale's hardening cock. He leans down and kisses the tip of the member before taking it into his mouth. Sending another smirk Gale's way, he quickly busies himself bobbing on Gale, lips slick and mouth hot.]
[His fingers flex restlessly in Tav's hair as Gale slides them through it, holding Tav's gaze as his cock stiffens in Tav's eager mouth. He lets his thighs fall open, hips twitching beneath Tav's touch.]
And if I wanted to show my appreciation for your clever tongue with a bit of magic?
[Tav continues to bob as Gale talks, popping off only after Gale finishes.]
A good night's sleep.
[Ever since he learned of Orin, Tav has been restless at night, unable to stop thinking of the possibility of an imposter in their camp. That combined with the possibility that he could go to sleep as Tav and wake up as a monster has keep him very low on sleep.
But for now he can focus on something else, on Gale.]
Perhaps by exhausting me, yes?
[And then Tav dips back onto Gale, corkscrewing down until his nose meets the brush of hair surrounding Gale's cock.]
[Gale's expression softens slightly, fingers trailing down gently along the curve of Tav's jaw. Things have been fraught enough for Tav -- the slow trickle of truth for him , the revelation of Orin, has certainly not made the already arduous task before them.]
Gladly, my dear.
[He whispers a spell, gesturing quickly, then slides both hands into Tav's hair, petting lightly as a spectral hand appears just in his field of view before tracing the same patterns down his back Gale's fingers had been earlier.]
Provided I-- [He bites back a whimper as Tav sinks back down, thumbs tracing the movement of his cheeks.] Provided I can keep my concentration.
[Tav's eyebrows quirk up as he resumes bobbing, but swallowing Gale down at the end of each bob. He wants to finish Gale off before sleeping, so he supposes a quiet timer has been set. Hollowing his cheeks, Tav sucks Gale's cock more firmly than ever. The spectral hand on his back encourages Tav to rest, but the elf is determined to polish Gale off before climbing into bed for the night.
His efforts ramp up as Tav uses his hands to gently fondle Gal's balls, trying to tip him over quickly.
[The spectral hand stutters along Tav's back as Gale struggles not to buck into his mouth, panting under his ministrations. For all his skill, it's hard to think of anything other than Tav like this. Gale arches under him, eyes shut tight and mouth slack as he pants,] So close.
[Tav would be smirking again if he could manage it while sucking Gale's cock. He speeds up his pace at the same time as giving Gale's balls a gentle squeeze. Tav deepthroats Gale and looks up at the wizard when he gives notice of how close he is to climax. Tav gives Gale's balls one more squeeze while simultaneously deepthroating him , hoping that all the pressure will finally do him in.]
Tav -- hah, please, please. [Gale shoves a hand into the sheets, clutching at them desperately as he tries not to tug too hard at Tav's hair. The look does him in more than anything, Tav's eyes on his as he swallows Gale down, and Gale comes with a desperate moan, the mage hand shivering out in a shower of weave. He might, when he has his wits more about him, be a little embarrassed about that later.]
[Tav swallows down every drop that Gale pours into his mouth. He gives Gale's freshly spent cock one more kiss before climbing back up into bed.]
Seems you lost your concentration, Archmage Dekarios. [Tav is all smirks again, licking his lips for extra effect before sprawling out beside Gale like a sated cat.]
[Gale shivers, oversensitive, and drags Tav up for a kiss as he climbs back onto the bed, chasing the taste of himself out of Tav's mouth with a little groan.]
We'll try that again tomorrow and see how it goes. [He lets out a breathless little laugh and drapes an arm over Tav, fingers stroking lightly over his skin.] I'd been hoping to spend the evening spoiling you, but I think you've spoiled me thoroughly instead.
[Gale rolls his eyes fondly at Tav and leans in for one last soft kiss.] I fully intend on wearing you out properly tomorrow, thank you very much.
[He helps pull the blankets up around them before winding his arms around Tav again, one at his waist, the other hand gently carding through his hair.] Sleep well, my dear. It'll be nice waking up with you in a bed for once.
[Tav chuckles again before he tugs the blankets fully around them, smiling into the kiss with Gale. Oh this is so nice, he could get used to it, he thinks.]
I'll do my best, darling.
[Or he could surprise Gale with some literal or horny breakfast in bed. Ah, but that is for tomorrow and Tav is properly ready to sleep, hopefully for the entire night.]
I love you too. [Gale brushes his lips to the top of Tav's head, cradling him close in the warmth of the blankets as he begins to drift off. Whatever happens -- at least he'll be here for Tav, whether for a restful evening or to comfort or try to guide him through whatever might wake him in the night.]
[Tav wakes up about halfway through the night, just before predawn, sitting up abruptly from the bed and tearing out of the sheets. He's already moving towards his clothes within a moment. He needs to think and the best thinking he does is while walking.]
[Gale wakes up not too long later; even before recent events necessitate they all become somewhat light sleepers, the presence of the orb made restful nights rare before it was stabilized.
He props himself up on one elbow, scanning the room bleary-eyed when he finds no one next to him.
Gale watches Tav for a moment as he dresses, trying to shake off his sleepiness.]
[Tav is busy tugging up his trousers and tying them that he doesn't notice Gale also wake. Jumping at the sound of Gale's voice, Tav turns back around and presses a hand to his chest when the relief of Gale's presence moves through his body.]
Nightmare. About Orin. Need to think.
[Tav's usually chatty nature has completely disappeared and is instead replaced by panic.]
[Gale's expression softens. He sits up properly, moving to the edge of the bed, anxious to offer what reassurance he can but also keenly aware his own comforts -- a warm embrace, wandering conversation -- can be more smothering than reassuring in these moments.]
I didn't mean to startle you. [He gestures towards the door, knob still glowing faintly with the effect of Tav's arcane lock from the night before.] It's just us.
Do you... I don't know that it's wise for any of us to be out alone, especially so late. We don't have to talk, if that's not what you need. We can walk for a bit.
[Tav seems more and more distracted the longer he's awake. He's only half-listening to Gale until Gale suggests they walk together. Tav already has his tunic on and is practically ready to go.]
Of course. [Gale dresses quickly, not bothering with his robes over his undershirt; it's not as if they're going anywhere he'll need to be presentable, and the chilly night air will wake him up all the faster.
After a beat, he grabs his quarterstaff as well. Better safe than sorry, these days, quiet walk or no.] Lead the way, love.
[Tav nods once Gale is dressed, waves his hand in front of the door to undo the arcane lock. He leads the way down the stairs and past the front desk until they're outside and it feels as if Tav can properly breathe again. He takes a few paces before he turns to Gale.]
Had a nightmare you were taken and... [Tav bites his lip.] we were too late to save you.
Ah. [That seems to pull Gale up short of it for a moment -- the idea of being taken, or something happening to Tav. Losing him. Gale swallows against the spike of anxiety that lurches through him, and extends a hand for Tav to take.]
Well, fortunately for us I do have a very clever failsafe prepared in the event of my untimely death. [His tone is light, but not dismissive -- something gentle to cut the tension.] But for now, I am here with you, and unharmed. You could have woken me if you wanted, I wouldn't have minded.
I hate that she's rattled us so. Rattled you. You deserve better than such cruel games.
We’ll think about walking, then. I can escort you around the square, a little old fashioned courting.
[He gives Tav’s hand a squeeze and tugs him a little closer before setting them on their way again. Around the Elfsong is as good a spot as any for a short stroll, lanterns still on in a building or two nearby and the haunting figure of one of Gortash’s steel watchers lurking nearer the square, for better or worse.]
I did hear him. I… [He frowns, thoughtful.] I would like to tell you that’s not really you. It is you, as much as — [He taps the orb mark.] This, or Astarion’s vampirism or Lae’zel’s upbringing.
I know it’s different for you. But we’ve all had the opportunity to make different decisions — to change. And you’ve been trying, harder than any of us I think.
[Tav keeps a firm grip on Gale's hand as they walk, his mind still buzzing from the nightmare. What if they've already been infiltrated by an imposter? What if these dreams are doing nothing but keeping Tav from a good night's rest?]
Have I? Will any change I make ever be enough when those urges remain inside me? I could wake up one day and slaughter all of you.
[Tav squeezes Gale's hand again, seeking out reassurance that the monster being kept at bay isn't one blackout away from killing their entire party.]
