"In a way there would be tasks to do anyway if we were not Ascended, though normally they might be more entertaining than these are likely to be." Bastien laughed, leaning down to kiss Rexanna's cheek - it was too hard to resist, when she was looking up at him so close.
She was silent for a moment as she considered and he tried his best to not think on it. If he spent too long remembering what she had told him about her past pregnancies he would become irrationally angry at someone he had no way to punish. The best way to solve the heat in his chest about her treatment was to give Rexanna everything he could now, he knew - he stroked her arm softly, waiting for her response.
"Then we will ask her. Either way, it would be our child." The words still felt a little strange, like a fantasy he was finally giving voice to; he felt fear in his heart as well, though he suspected that was likely normal. "...Do you have any ideas for what would make a good name? I'm afraid if it's up to me it will be the name of one of my cherished painters from Venice, which may prove difficult to pronounce for some here."
