Kid, I feel like yelling
Ring the bell and bang the drum
Well, it was obvious they weren't creating for the moment. Bastien didn't like to make work in the wrong mood and didn't want to put irritation or anxiety into their child's walls so he put his charcoal on the windowsill and looked entirely at Rexanna now, zoning out the rest of the room.
Her words brought silence from him for a while, Bastien staring at her. He could hardly believe what she'd said, that she'd implied he might 'find someone else'; was she simply accepting that she would die and leave him? Immediately he felt a prick of tears in his eyes and blinked it back, surprised by how easily it had come when usually he was very able to control those kinds of emotions. "Find...someone else? Rexanna...do not ever say those words to me again."
Taking a breath to try and steady the rising tension in him he ran a hand through his hair and shook his head before continuing. "Do you not hear me when I tell you that you are my world? I know I am prone to dramatics but -- my God, Rexanna, I love you more than I was capable of feeling anything before. If I thought it right I would keep you in this house and be sure you were safe, but I believe in principles of freedom...every time you leave the house though, you are content for me to be worrying you will return to me in a coffin?" His voice was strained and as he said this last part the stress made itself extremely obvious, Bastien putting a hand over his mouth and looking down as he finished, closing his eyes.
