i'm tired of the weight of mortality, i want to tear it from my veins
until i bleed silver and gold
The chosen name falling from the Voice’s lips simply seals the deal in Rexanna’s mind. And she can’t help the vibrant smile that crosses her face as she looks down on their child, glances up to spy Bastien and step up on her tip toes to kiss him gently and with all the love in the world for him and only him – this opportunity solely because of him. And she settles back down, reaching up to run her fingers through incredibly soft dark curls, before she looks to the Voice once more. “Thank you.” She says quietly before their goddess departs.
Whether it were a few moments or eternities, Rexanna doesn’t think it’ll change her love for them.
Her gaze returns on Bastien and Azrael then, tears threatening to spill over porcelain cheeks. “Let’s go home.” She says softly, reaching to wrap an arm around Bastien as he holds their child, an anchor and a lighthouse to both guide home and keep from wandering.

maybe one day they'll chant our names
and name galaxies after us, and we too shall be eternal
