Kid, I feel like yelling
Ring the bell and bang the drum
Rexanna's tone was audibly shaken and Bastien felt a sharp stab of guilt. He knew he often played the role of the joker, the confident pillar unworried by the world, that when he shedded that persona it would be distressing...but sometimes he could not help the human concerns that nibbled at the back of his mind. He was better at controlling them than most, but of course sometimes they would prevail; The Voice had made him Ascended, but not robotic.
"..You are correct, of course. I just cannot help the fear. What happened to Remi, to Ronin...I would say I do believe we would be better parents, and I do, but what happened to Aoife was accidental, unavoidable.." He had stopped drawing now, the charcoal he had been using hanging limp in his fingers. "And I worry that more than me, it will harm you - Rexanna, you have already lost so much. More than one child...could you handle another, if something were to happen?" Bastien turned to look at her, genuine fear in his eyes. Would she stay with him if their child fell into danger or would she disappear with them?
