lol

Complimenting Shadowheart?! Outrageous! No one would ever do that to someone who thinks less of them each time they sneeze! He must be suspicious...
It was not about the fact that he was complimenting her, but about what he said: Shar is a goddess of darkness and dwells in the plane of shadows. wink
And that was during the initial dialogue, so you don't know that Shadowheart is a priestess of Shar, or much about her character at that point.

It could have been just a weird compliment, sure. Or maybe Gale uses detect thoughts or the tadpole on the party at this point.

I merely jest. I would imagine it is simply an acute, if unintentionally accurate observation. When Shadowheart asks him about it, he replies "Merely, that if the eyes are the mirror to the soul, yours have dark curtains across the mirror. No offense taken, I hope." They then continue to banter in a possibly flirtatious way, so I think he was just showing off with a compliment. "Shadows for eyes; deep as the Darklake" seems to imply that one could get lost or drown in her beauty by looking into her dark-colored eyes. Gale does like to indulge in his wit and romanticism.
