rbs greatly appreciated since this isn’t a hades blog ;-;

And then I read some more of Gale’s dialogue, more critically. He talks about the orb the same way I talk about my migraines. Simultaneously downplays and impresses the significance of it. Doesn’t want to talk about it very much even once you know. He’s an arch mage who, when you meet him, can’t even cast Misty Step. And while Wyll mentions the tadpole affecting his pact magic, no one else says anything similar as far as I’m aware. Which leads me to believe that Gale’s not incapable of the magic as much as he is too exhausted and distracted to conjure it. Gale is in chronic pain every single day, and he never outright says it. Even after the orb is gone.

This probably isn’t a new revelation, but it just reinforced how much I identify with (and adore) him. Or maybe I missed a bit of dialogue and it’s outright said at some point, which would make me feel a lot dumber for missing it. But damn, knowing my husband can actually understand the daily pain just makes me love GaleTav more. (I HC every Tav I play with similar issues to me.)
