[His mouth feels unusually dry; he feels as though his cold, dead heart might be stuck in his throat, but he swallows it down and remains collected. Tension sings through the air, but he puts every ounce of effort he can muster into focusing on the situation at hand.]
I've arranged a ride, for our safety— a trusted friend is outside with a car. Cazador and his people are only very tenuously playing by the rules, I don't trust him not to try something in an effort to acquire a witch, eager as he seems to be.
[Gale hasn't allowed himself to question to what purpose; everything he knows of Cazador through Astarion as well as his own experiences in vampire society tells him it can be nothing good. Having an alliance or some other connection with a witch of any sort had the potential to put particularly ambitious vampires in a very, very dangerous position. Cazador was far more than ambitious; he was monstrous and cruel, kept slaves rather than made alliances.
Amelia deserved far better.
He clears his throat softly, offering his arm as he inclines his head towards the door.]
Shall we? I promise you, we'll be in good hands with Halsin. Shadowheart will also be nearby, should we have need of assistance while we're there.
[Amelia accepts Gale's arm with a small smile. It is delicately looped around his, glad for the closeness, but ever aware of that unspoken tension between them.]
Between you, Wyll, and Shadowheart, I feel very well taken care of. Let's get this show on the road then.
[If they can survive this night, she's sure they can survive anything.]
