“Halsin!”
Gale watches as Astarion skips over and throws himself at his boyfriend.
Halsin is absurdly big. Just, really, unreasonably large. His arms wrap around Astarion’s waist and lift him easily.
“Good gods,” Jen breathes. “I would climb him like a tree…”
“Jenevelle!”
“Don’t full-name me, Gale. Look at him!”
“I am looking at him,” Gale folds his arms, eyes narrowed. “I don’t like him.”
“Based on what!?”
“He’s too big.”
Jen snorts into her cocktail. “For what?”
“He’s too old for Astarion, don’t you think? It’s grotesque.”
“I don’t know… he doesn’t look that much older than us…”
They stand and watch as Astarion and Halsin begin voraciously making out. The man still hasn’t put Astarion down.
Jen sighs, tearing her eyes away from the giant. “I meant what I said just now, you know. I love you for making that video. It's worked wonders for this event: not a single invitation decline. Thank you for putting up with the prick and getting it done.”
“The prick?” Gale looks at her questioningly.
“Astarion,” she mocks the designer’s plummy voice. “Pretty, but, Shar, what an attitude.”
“He's not so bad when you get to know him,” Gale murmurs, watching sadly as Halsin gently sets Astarion down, enveloping him in a warm hug. The designer looks a little surprised at first, but then he leans into the embrace, closing his eyes. He seems happy. Good for him.
In his peripheral vision, Gale can see Jen looking at him. “Oh, Gale…”
“What?”
“Gale, Gale, Gale…” She shakes her head, tutting.
“What!?”
“You like him, don’t you?”

Finally finished this baby blanket. This weave stitch was so time consuming because with each row it was like just a centimeter of work not the usual half inch. Love the way out came out though!!! # crochet #crochethook #weavestitch #yarn #bernatyarn #babyblanket
