Kept thinking about this line the last few weeks every time it was sunny out lol 🌩️🌨️🌦️🌪️⛄
[Video description: a line art only animation of Gale of Waterdeep. He looks up at the sunny sky and happily says "lovely day, this!" Then he looks suspicious and continues "for now..." After a moment clouds come rolling in, a strong wind starts blowing and heavy rain comes pouring down. At the top is written: "western Europeans in spring:" /End video description.]
It had been years since the defeat of the Elder Brain, and life had carried on as it was always bound to.
The heroes of the gate stood as stone sentinels in the main square, the once alabaster marble now etched by the claws of perching birds and eroded by the touches of grateful hands.
The statues had blended quietly into the backdrop of the city, but despite the dwindled offerings and attention, they were still a focus of the city's children who would clamber on them in unburdened play. Their laughter rang through the square in total, sweet oblivion as to how their silent playmates came to be there.
You had fallen into the habit of making sure there was always at least one bunch of fresh heliotrope or autumncrocus laying at the inscription of the largest, central statue:
Gale Dekarios,
Who gave his life for Faerûn.
The bravest of wizards, and greatest of men.
Tides and currents stop for no-one, and inevitably you had been swept along to new shores. You now had children of your own, who would spend sunny afternoons playing around the statue of your past love.
But still, there were nights like this, when the sky was clear and your grief was sharp. You would escape to sit on the bank of the river and with soft, crinkled eyes, gaze at the dancing glow of the purple aurora, which seemed to appear whenever you needed it most.
Here you would let the light wash over you, and lose yourself for a few quiet moments - to the most beautiful of fantasies.

Vaughn sees the character as a fill-in for Colin Firth’s Harry Hart, who was bumped off unceremoniously in Kingsman: The Secret Service. “I thought it was important to have an older influence on Eggsy. He tries to teach Eggsy a few things, but in a very different manner to Harry.”
