Yes, yes, and also yes. I found him when he first arrived and he didn't have any powers. But you could stand to have a little faith in me! I am a very accomplished rogue and a ship's captain. Your captain, in fact!
I have plenty of faith in you, Captain, thank you very much! I have every right to be concerned. He was hardly what one would call a pushover. I suppose his not having his powers works to our benefit for now, but it's only a matter of time until he gets them back. Did he seem interested in... revenge?
Xenk. Apparently he tried to proselytize to him about the Lord of Bones which is, quite frankly, hilarious.
[ Astarion is not taking this very seriously, comparatively. But that's because there is exactly one (1) person who would make him want to crawl out of his own skin if he arrived. ]
That does seem to be his way, in my limited experience.
I don't know that I would be so quick to underestimate him, even without his usual resources. We may not need to be as worried as we would be otherwise, but I still say we ought to exercise caution.
I honestly can't tell if you're joking, at this point. I might feel safer with you at my back, but I'm very particular about sheet quality and have been told I'm a bit greedy with blankets.
[If Astarion is going to be his flirtatious self, maybe it won't hurt to flirt back a little.]

You're quite serious, aren't you?
Did you encounter him firsthand? Are you alright?

[Unusually coarse and succinct for Gale. There's just no other word for it.]
I can't say this was on my list of situations we might find ourselves in. Who else knows?

[Blunt and overly-literal, to be certain.]
Fortunately for us, we outnumber him. He lacks an army here, and Myrkul will not be answering his call anytime soon.

But yes, I'm hardly worried. He's just a man in a very ugly set of armor now.

You know...if you're worried you can always come sleep next to me.
