Gale makes a startled noise, though he must have known exactly what was happening, and then moans, an unintentional sound so raw it might have been dragged right out of his soul.

For several moments, he doesn't move at all, holding his breath and so tense he might have been turned to stone. He waits for disaster, for that hungry ache in his chest to swell and bloom into doom for Waterdeep. His body is as tight as a bow string, but when nothing happens, he relaxes incrementally.

Her warning may have been for herself, but he minds it as well, hands pressed to the bench at either side of him, determined to obey. His body wants to rebel, desperate for any relief, and he is sorely tempted just to flex his hips and thighs, the tiniest bit of friction, but he stays still, breathing shallowly. It is an exquisite torture.

"I can't tell if this is punishment or reward," he says, voice barely above a whisper.

"What?" he says, not understanding how this request could relate to anything at all. His breathing is shallow and uneven, and she is the only thing in the universe that exists. It takes a few moments before he realizes that she's asking for a distraction. It's not how he'd prefer to put his practiced tongue to use, but he can oblige.

"Well, ah. Khelben Arusun was the first, the wielder of the eponymous Blackstaff that would lend its name to him, the position, and the tower itself," he says, tone professorly, hardly any tremble in his voice. "Tsarra Chaadren was the second, known as 'The Blackstaff's Hunter' before she took the position herself after his death."

Gale is also just starting to steady when she moves. "Don't—" he says, a short sharp sound, and then clenches his eyes shut like he's waiting for a blow. That light in his chest briefly flares brighter.

A few seconds pass and he does not explode, literally or figuratively, and he sighs out a held breath. "I, ah- Where was I?"

"Maybe... There's no need to be totally good," he suggests with a wicked little grin. He lifts his hands to touch her face, desperate to touch but not daring to touch anywhere below the neck.

"Gods. Is that supposed to help me with my research? I can barely think of anything other than you." She is so warm and wet around him, he thinks he feels it dripping down him, but he's afraid to even focus too hard on such details. It's been so long since he's been with anyone physically that he had forgotten how erotic such tangible details can be.
