      8: Laezel making adorable eyes as she asked Geoff how he knew what to get her
      9: Karlach's sharp teef right before she bit into the xbox's power chord
      10: Shadowheart healing Karlach after she bit through the cord and Wyll checking up on her. Gale and Laezel hugging each other in fear of the mysterious box while Astarion didn't give a damn 🤣
