“You absolute bitch.” Tav’s face joins Astarion’s as they pin Orin to the wall. “Answer Astarion’s question, and we might consider letting you have a fair fight.”

Orin laughs, her giggles sending shivers up Astarion’s spine. “Hush, hush, there’s no need to sound so morose,” Orin says. “Orin will take care of you. And your little pet.”

“That doesn’t answer the question—” Astarion says, pressing the knife in deeper but he stops when he feels something sharp against his belly. He dares to let his eyes flicker down, and is met with Orin pressing her own knife against him. Against Polliwog. Gnashing his teeth in frustration, he releases some of the pressure off her neck.

“Such a good little pet,” Orin croons, her eyes dancing between Tav and Astarion. “And now, your friend. Oh, he’s still alive; gasping and gagging on the foul airs of Bhaal’s temple. I will not slice; he will die far too easily.” She giggles again, her attention turning to Tav. “No, the Murder Lord demands a better offering. Someone new, sticky sweet and delicious. He wants you.”

“Why?” Tav says.

*** Finding Minsc is slow going. Tav and Jaheira’s lead is that his plans involve the Counting House, but instead of visiting it the next day like normal people, they keep getting sidetracked. First it’s Tav trying to prevent their reputation from getting libeled by breaking into the Baldur’s Mouth’s headquarters. Then Wyll’s counselor friend is sent for execution, so they spend a day breaking her out. Then (wouldn’t you know it? Baldur’s Gate truly is the city of reunions) Tav finds a group of hag survivors, and who else would be their leader but Mayrina? Polymorphed into a sheep, but it’s still her. The only reason they aren’t going after the hag now is because they don’t know where she is.

And then there’s all the shopping trips, swapping this longbow for that one, this helmet for this set of bracers, four Fire Arrows for three Salve Arrows, and though Astarion enjoys shopping, even he thinks five shopping trips in a tenday is too much. At least everyone got a new set of clothes out of the affair, and Astarion didn’t even need to settle for the sacks that passed for pregnancy clothing. No, it seems Figaro Facemaker has truly earned his reputation for being the best tailor in Baldur’s Gate, because his pregnancy wear is all of his usual designs, enchanted to grow alongside the wearer.

That’s not the only baby adjacent item they purchase, though. That evening, Shadowheart, Astarion, and Wyll are having a mini fashion show when Gale sticks his head around the corner.

No joke you guys NEED to get more comfortable blocking people. No more insulting people in public over different blorbo opinions no more making 2k long posts on how whatever ship you don't like shouldn't exist we've grown past that shit. Consistent posts about shit that make you uncomfortable? Block. Rancid blorbo opinions? Block. Is mildly annoying in your replies? Block. Pisses you off for reasons so petty you could never admit it publicly? Block. YOUR mental health will improve from not being upset 24/7, THEIR mental health will not be at risk of you lashing out because you happened to catch their posts on a bad day, and EVERYONE ELSE will benefit from not seeing the most embarrassing arguments known to man on their dash. "Oooh but they didn't deserve it-" dude you're presumably running a personal blog as a hobby not a public service. Who fucking cares.

“Oh, no! She’s hot…”

WONDER BAR (1934) | dir. Lloyd Bacon

“The other [scene that stands out above the rest] involved a handsome man, asking a dancing couple if he could cut in. The female partner, expecting his attention, agrees, only to see him dance with her male partner. Jolson then flaps his wrist and says, “Boys will be boys. Woo!”. This scene almost caused the Production Code to reject the film, and was featured in the opening scenes of the documentary film The Celluloid Closet (1996).”

I hate that the "Gen Alpha can't read." conversation so much because people are taking this as a chance to call children stupid and their parents monsters instead of having a very real discussion about how the education system is flawed by design, covid fucked up everything socialization wise, these parents having little access to child care and more work hours leads them to lean on things like tablets and phones to watch their kids more and more, teachers are more overworked and underpaid than ever leading to them leaving the profession in droves and that's only like the surface level issues. There's a myriad of factors at play here, not just that "The kids are spoiled screen-addicted brats with no imagination and their parents are childish spoiled millennials who just let coco melon handle everything."

“No one hate me for what I’m about to say,” Tav says over breakfast the next morning.

“That sounds like it’s going to lead into something we’ll need to hate you for,” Wyll says as he spreads jam on his toast.

“Agreed,” Shadowheart says as she neatly slices her roasted tomato. “It sounds like you’re going to offer us all as sacrifices to Orin in exchange for getting her Netherstone.”

“Right, then no one dislike me for what I’m about to say,” Tav says. “I don’t think we should be going out in a large group anymore.”

“So we’re back to what we were doing before? At the Emerald Grove? Where half of us would do one thing and the other half another?” Astarion says.

“I mean…” Tav lifts her teacup as if she’s about to sip from it, before placing it back down in its saucer. She clasps her hands in her lap. “I mean half of us go out and the other half stay locked in here.”

Everyone stares at her at this. Even Dame Aylin and Isobel look over from their little love nest across the room. Jaheira sits back in her chair, pulling her hands behind her head.

“I have a question for you, cub,” she says. “What do you think you will gain from this? You are leaving half of your trained, fit soldiers behind based on…what, exactly?”

***

Neither Tav nor Gale make a fuss when Astarion says he wants the illusion spell placed on him again. The Fist are turning away nine- and ten-year-old children at the entrance of Wyrm’s Crossing, and those children can work; bringing someone visibly pregnant to them would absolutely get them turned away.

Of course, it’s just their luck when it turns out they didn’t need the spell after all. Perhaps the Iron Hands are trying to force Tav’s hand into helping them, but no one complains when the suicidal idiots toss a bomb at the Steelwatcher standing guard alongside the Fist, breaking it beyond repair and allowing for the whole group to cross into the South Span of Wyrm’s Crossing in the ensuing kerfuffle.

And then, almost as if it is a sign from the gods themselves, Sharess’ Carress door is wide open. Tav makes a face at this as the group huddles outside the building.

“Are you quite sure Voss wants to meet us here, Lae’zel?” Gale says tentatively. “I understand that most establishments would not be very welcoming to githyanki, but this is…” He gestures vaguely.

“Don’t be so precious,” Astarion says. “Sharess’ Carress is the most respectable place you’ll find in the Outer City. If you want somewhere that’s a bit more rustic, as it were…” He nods to Fraygo’s Flophouse across the road. Tav tugs her plait.
