RE: take a bow for the decisions we made - Bastien - 06-14-2021
Bastien couldn't help but snort a little laugh at Wessex's dismissive summary. [say]"Perhaps. If he will still talk to us, I will have to ask him. I am confident he will still be on our side, but if not, do not worry - I will not give away too much."[/say] He'd spent years in Venice working in intrigue, pleasing certain Lords and Doges and setting up others for failure, taking in sons of nobles and manipulating the relationships of those that would affect his enterprises; he knew when to keep things back, even if his persona was one of extraverted enthusiasm.
[say]"I will let you know as soon as I have any word from Isla."[/say] He confirmed, hoping she'd say yes; it would take some of the pressure off of his shoulders and having a partner in this mess would make the whole thing more bearable.
Knowing nothing about the Order, he shook his head. [say]"No, no ideas. Except to perhaps tell them Ascended regularly gather here to be naked and vulnerable?"[/say] After a pause, Bastien shook his head. [say]"Bad joke. Sorry."[/say]

So much will have happened by the next time they speak that many of Wessex’s concerns will be irrelevant. But as she’s unable to see the future, the current queen nods in appreciation of everything Bastien has said, even chuckling at the thought of luring the Order in when vulnerable, fucking Ascended.
[say] “Hey, I’m just glad some people are getting to use that room,”[/say] she quips, alluding more to her lack of partners than anyone else’s frequent use.[say] “I’m sure something will pop into someone’s head.”[/say] Trying to reassure both of them, Wessex stands and is ready to continue about her day.
[say] “Thanks for the talk, Bastien. I think if we can set it up correctly, the Grounds will be okay.”[/say] Reaching out to shake his hand, she sees herself out, head full of far too many thoughts and plans, for which the only remedy would be time.
