of waterdeep.

gale's tower is best described as an organized mess. as a dedicated student of the page, his tower is stuffed to the brim with books, all ones he's read and annotated, so many that there is no longer shelf space for them all. the books on the shelves are somewhat organized by author. there are books that cover most flat surfaces in his tower, much to the chagrin of his tressym, tara, that are barely organized. he has, however, left sufficient space for sitting in the rare occasion he has guests. of note is a big chair near a fireplace, where gale does all of his casual reading. when he's not studying, he likes to read romance and mystery novels.

his desk is where his serious study and writings take place, and this is where he can usually be found in his tower. the drawers are filled with various scrolls and papers, both used and unused, as well as inkwells, quills, crystals, and books he's writing. he has a statue of mystra on his desk (that he gets rid of once the events of the game have passed) as well as some scales necessary for alchemy and various recipe books.

he owns a piano that he's actually quite good at playing, and he's adorned his home with different paintings and sculptures. he is a student of the page, but he also loves the arts and supports them whenever possible. he decorates his walls, floors, and shelves with various artworks.

finally, from his balcony, he's able to see all the homes on the harbor as well as the sea. he spends most of his free time here, watching the sun rise and set, the boats docking and leaving, and the people who do the same. he has a cozy life in waterdeep, one that he will return to no matter what may happen.

his words hit right in their core, down in deep wounds that he never placed and yet has to pay the price for‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎(that price being an aching heart, one constantly seeking warmth‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎–‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎a price only a few saw and claimed to be too much).‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎in another context, maybe she would've immediately blushed, giddily responded too quick, too loud:‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎if he could peer into their dramatic mind, he'd already seen a whole story play out a hundred times between the two of them.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ashlyn, always the dreamer, and yet never have those dreams been realized.

Little wizard and his beloved Tressym ❤️💕❤️💕

i overheard you talking earlier.

do you actually love me, or was that a lie, too?

you made me fall in love with you.

you were lying to me this whole time.

i never meant for you to hear that.

oh, i know what you said. you don't need to explain it.

when were you going to tell me the truth?

i just said those things! i don't know what came over me!

so now i know the truth.

this is what i get for trusting you.

i never lied about how i felt.

you're making a big mistake.

i opened myself up to you, and this is how you treat me?

go. i don't want to look at you anymore.

you lied to my face.

you don't need to explain anything. i heard the truth.

i get it. i'll just slow you down.

this was never supposed to happen this way.

look, i'm sorry. can we please talk about this?

you could have been honest with me from the start.

what was this, some kind of game?

i didn't lie about that!

that was your plan all along, wasn't it?

you think you can just walk in, play with my heart, and leave?

you manipulated me this whole time.

now i see you for what you really are.

none of that is true, and you know it.

why won't you give me a chance to explain?

that's all i needed to know.

i was so stupid trusting you.

i never should have listened to you.

that's not what i said!

i was just saying those things to get [name] to leave!

you made it very clear where you stand.

might be better if i just leave now.

you never wanted me around anyway.

so this was all a game to you?

how did you hear that? who told you?

yes, i lied to you, but i didn't mean for it to get this far!

i didn't mean any of it!

and all this time, i thought you actually loved me.

what a fool i was to trust you.

the longer you stand there, the angrier i get.

i'm walking out of here, and i'm never coming back.

nothing you could say right now would make me change my mind.

oh, i heard you. i heard everything.

[name] told me you were lying.

i know what really happened. you can stop pretending.

were you ever going to tell me the truth, or were you planning on stringing me along forever?

so that's it? you're just leaving?

did you really mean what you said, or was that a lie too?

everything is called into question.

i didn't lie about my feelings for you.

as much as i'd love to believe you, i can't. not anymore.

they were right about you all along.

when they warned me about you, i didn't believe them.

i never want to see you again.

with a little bit of luck, i'll find a place where i can stay forever.

i won't be found.

spent my whole life looking back and wondering who i was.

something changed the day you left, and i'll never know just what.

something tells me you and i will never meet again.

it didn't last long.

all i want is a noisy, crowded place where i can drink.

if i need a little money, i'll sell my soul.

nothing like rain to wash you clean.

i'd never seen a sky that pale at night.

should have known it wasn't right.

i can see you're doing just fine without me.

what did you say when you left?

i believed you'd never get far without me.

how wrong was i in the end?

my tale of woe continues.

it should have been you.

you were the only one i trusted.

let me see you one last time.

you can kiss my worthless ass goodbye.

i doubt that it's been nice to know me.

there's something not right about me.

i thought the darkness would pass.

life is a joke if you laugh.

this is how my story ends.

i'm stoned and broke and drunk again.

i'll be out there on my own.

i've got a feeling i just had to get away.

i left it all behind.

i got everything i want, and i got nothing that i need.

she made me wish that i had never let her go.

i fell in deep when you fell out of love with me.

just say the word, and i will change the life i lead.

i will push away the world just to keep you close to me.

you're the one i'll never get, and you're the one thing that i need.

i've been looking a long time.

what's your name?

am i ever gonna find you?

is there anybody out there?

we haven't met, but i wrote this song for you.

how the hell am i ever gonna find you?

my world has changed.

i drove like hell.

made me feel something i've never felt before, something between awestruck and horrified.

you don't remember what i said, but you'll remember what i did.

who laughs last?

i don't know if you care at all.

i'm just writing to say i'm alive.

i wanna feel like i did back then.

i wanna see my name in the lights again.

you got a lot to tell me, but i'd rather not know.

i was glad to see you, but it's better i go.

you didn't see me coming.

you took it all from me.

tell me when i can see you again.

i wanna quit you, but it's like a disease.

can you come over?

i'm waiting for you, baby.

i will always be in love with you.

why fight the flames?

one day you'll see you will always be a part of me.

it all comes back to you.

there's nothing to do. there's nowhere to go.

you played me a fool.

i'd rather die than lie to you.

i can't be sure, but i've seen this before.

i wondered where you came from.

take it and run away as far as you can go.

tell me i remind you of someone you used to know.

you seem sullen and far away.

your heart will break like mine.

grab the cigarettes. get a move on.

we better go.

nothing left to keep me here, so i'll be on my way.

i'll be strange 'til the day i die.

life is sad. so are you.

we can cry if you want to.

let's drink. here's to us.

i'll stay forever right here if you want me to.

life is strange. tell me why.

i'm a lost cause. so are you.

i can't change who i am.
