BASTIEN
"Mm." Bastien certainly knew if he had a mother like Zariah, he wouldn't be that choked up about it either, so he didn't say any more on that.
It wasn't really a surprise to hear that Beatrix didn't remember the cave: that wasn't the weird part of this. Most people didn't remember things from when they were that age, but most people didn't jump from young child to teenager overnight. Though it sounded like Beatrix herself wasn't too sure how it had happened, from her absence of an explanation. "..You...don't know what happened before you were in Whitebrim?"
He had not considered Azrael lucky; he sadly smiled and cuddled them close, the baby letting out a soft breath as they pressed themself into him. "I don't know about that, really. Missing their mother so young, when she would have been incredible..." Bastien did not dare to say any more in case the tears came.
