Bastien
There was a pause before the expected smile, but it still came, and Bastien grinned in response. He considered a wink but decided against it, not sure Remi was in the mood (they were, after all, discussing his God-given curse). The question was clearly a hard one given the way the other man ran a hand through his hair and seemed to slow, pause as he thought his way through it.
"Ah...well." Bastien thought about it. Perhaps it would be best to not say anything, given that he did not know Remi, but he had opinions. Bastien rarely let opinions go unaired. "Sometimes that happens to those in long marriages anyway. It is not such a terrible curse so long as you may fall in love again. With someone else, or...could you not try and recover your feeling for this man?"
He shrugged, thinking through the many lovers who had passed through his doors. "Maybe it is not my place to say. But I have sometimes fallen out of love only to fall back in when I see them in the sun."
