BASTIEN
I'm feeling devious
You're looking glamorous
You're looking glamorous
While Bastien did still cringe a bit at 'old man', he couldn't really argue it; compared to Oliver he may as well have been, and given that he was immortal now? He supposed his real age was irrelevant. He was there long before Oliver and fortune willing, he'd be there long after. "If you feel old now, I have some terrible news for you about the future."
Oliver's question made him pause; Bastien looked at his child with a curious eye. "Given they can't speak as of yet, it is hard to know...They may well be aware of the world, though." He could see the Voice doing something like preprogramming a baby with knowledge of the world around them; it was a little disappointing to think he might not be able to teach Azrael too much, but it was also exciting to think he might have a prodigy.
He considered Olivers problem. It wasn't really unique: most people were lonely at some point in their lives; what Oliver did have was a unique chance at a solution. "Then why don't you put the manor to use? Invite the new Outlanders to live there. They can help with the cleaning, will put life in the house and you will be less lonely. It's similar to what I did, in the Sanctuary." Pretend to be a saviour, while you save yourself.
With that said, he clapped his hands together. "I'm afraid I think I'm going to rest for a while. It has been...a tiring season, I am sure you understand. Feel free to stay in the studio, of course."
{FIN}
(Ending this because it's pre-sick now!)
