Synopsis:
After the party, this companion is still trying to come down from all the energy, and with a good enough bond it is possible for the player avatar to flirt and unlock a romance option. Gale has been drinking wine, but is not drunk - line delivery shouldn't convey this unless expressly indicated in the VO notes. The wine is mentioned in a few spots, but it shouldn't influence his diction.
How to trigger:
Recruit Gale to your party
Recon: oe qnight NIGHT_GoblinHunt_TieflingCelebration_1ad8c357-2695-4d5c-b5f9-8b8c07803121
Go to camp and chat with him
12. : A beautiful night, don't you think? Nothing like a brush with destruction to make one appreciate the majesty of the celestial canvas.devnoteNIGHT_GoblinHunt_TieflingCelebration = False, ORI_State_DatingGale, ORI_Gale_Knows_DiscussedTressym = False
0. : It's a view I would once have shared with my companion. Though definitely unaccompanied by such revelry.devnote
75. : She preferred it when we were alone, curled up before a crackling hearth with some ancient, esoteric tome between us, ink glinting in the firelight...devnote
121. Player: Sounds, er, fun.
122. : Not everyone is comfortable being alone with their thoughts. Though I never felt alone with a book in my hand. Or with her for company.devnote

61. : I speak of Tara, my tressym, assistant, my constant companion through all the ills and tribulations my hubris has thrust upon me.ORI_Gale_Knows_DiscussedTressym
127. : She'd be most impressed by our efforts saving these tieflings. Proud, even. And I've given her little to be proud of recently.NIGHT_GoblinHunt_TieflingCelebration = False
110. : After I was afflicted with my condition, I locked myself in my tower for an entire year. I was inconsolable, wallowing in my self-inflicted tragedy.
42. : I'd given up on myself, but Tara never did. It was her encouragement, her research that led me to my treatment. Once we knew that magically-infused items were the key, she went out to find them for me. She saved my life.
29. : After so long being cared for by someone else, it feels good to have repaid the favour. Not directly to Tara, but to these poor tieflings. I'm sure she would approve.
107. Player: She must be very smart, to have done all that.
28. : 'Smart' does her a disservice. She's a fine wizard in her own right, though somewhat held back by her lack of opposable thumbs.
59. : You remind me of her somewhat. The same sharp tongue. And sharp teeth.devnoteREALLY_ASTARION

63. : You remind me of her somewhat. Something in the way you roll your eyes when I speak...REALLY_LAEZEL
4. : You remind me of her somewhat. An expression you both share - when she gives in to her more feline qualities, a mouse trapped beneath her paw...REALLY_DARK_URGE
50. : I wish she were here for me to make a formal introduction, but I would never ask her to undertake such a journey. She is safer at home.
56. : Besides, she was always telling me I needed to spread my wings, so to speak. Find mortal friends, instead of hanging onto Mystra's coattails. So that's what I'm doing. I hope.

22. : I assure you, were you to meet Tara you would see the comparison for the flattery it is. But perhaps that's not a point worth labouring further.
17. : Suffice it to say, I think rather a lot of you. And there aren't many on this plane who I'd give such high praise.
