Modern AU has occupied my mind. So, you'll have to bear the problems of the academia with me XD

An Unexpected Call

Gale x F!Tav, SFW, Modern AU, University AU

Gale was sitting in his study and reading (or at least trying to) a scan of a microfilm of a 19th century magazine on the display of his PC. The quality was so poor, that he had to put a strain on his eyes. His head started pounding, his vision blurring by tears. Gale pinched his nose and threw his head back. There was still half of the article to be read and analysed.

Suddenly Gale's phone started ringing. When he looked at it, he furrowed his brow. It was unusual for her to ring him at all. He picked it up nonetheless.

'Hi, Tani! Is anything the matter?'

'Oh, I,' she was clearly sobbing, 'I'm sorry for calling you, Gale.'

'I don't have classes today, so it's alright. You sound upset.' He got more worried by the second. 'What happened?'

'Don't worry, it's nothing.' She made a glottal stop, probably trying to calm herself. 'I called you because I have no one else to talk to about my problems at the Uni. I know I shouldn't bother you...'

'Why don't you come over to my place and tell me about it?' he said, 'We'll have a cup of tea, you'll tell me everything, and I'll do what I can to help you.'

'Are you sure? I don't want to interrupt you.' She was hesitant.

'I've got headache from work already, and I think a distraction in the form of a talk will be a good idea.'

'Thank you very much. I'm travelling from work now, just send me the address, I'll come at once.'

Gale smiled looking at the phone. The anticipation of someone coming to his lonely home brought so much joy into his heart. Well, not someone, but Kitani, his favourite academic rival.

I've realised I don't have the energy to write the continuation. I may extend this in the future, however.

In my DnD campaign one of the players' characters is a young wizard whose mentor is Professor Gale Dekarios (because I just had to make a reference to my favourite wizard). And the player of this character (who is also a student) now decided to continue playing BG3.

They wrote that they could not stop thinking about Gale being their teacher.

Gale: Now is no time to die!

The player: Professor Dekarios, I received a critical hit!

REBLOG if you have amazing talented artist friends!
