There's a momentary shift, a discomfort that Gale might notice, if he's perceptive. Astarion doesn't appreciate the comparison. He doesn't think Gale understands, at all, what it's like to be held at the whim of another. Sure, Gale had the orb, but ultimately that was Gale and his hubris to blame. Astarion hadn't asked to be killed by Gur Hunters, and he certainly hadn't asked to be made into Cazador's slave for 200 years.
But only momentary. With an 18 on persuasion, Astarion plasters his normal expression back on easily. ]
If nothing else, we're at least free of our problems with the elder brain for the time being. I can't say I'm complaining about not having to fight avatars of the Dead Three and whatever the hells else they plan to throw at us.
