follow your fire

BASTIEN

I used to be an angry man, I wanted things that weren’t mine
At fifteen paces in the sand I left that all behind

His hand was taken in hers and he easily let it be taken, watched her press her face near his fingers and wished he could have been there. When Lucas left her at the Spire and when Zariah tried to marry her off. "I am glad the man in question is kind, at least. At least I will not have to beat him away from our doorstep."

Bastien thought he had told Rexanna about his conversation with The Voice regarding children, so her surprise was in turn a surprise to him. "No, not really. Do not worry, I do not have a baby hidden under the bed." He joked, pretending to push something further underneath by leaning to the side.

"But yes, I spoke to her. She said it could be possible, that there was a way - I do not know anything more, but...if you ever wished to have a child, Rexanna...I am anxious about the prospect. But we have the option to discuss." He smiled. "Though, there are things that should come before a child. I have a few things I wanted to tell you anyway."

Now my spirits rise when she turns out the bedroom light
I gently haunt my lover in the cold and tender night
