    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
