Filling The Emptiness

BASTIEN i am the remedy to your heart, "Yes! Well...there are less Ascended than anyone else, and less from elsewhere...so the numbers are not massive, but there are others." Bastien tapped his chin, trying to think of some names for Anden to search for. "There is myself, Nate, Amun...Neron. That may be all of the ones I am aware of, but next time you attend a meeting with the Voice, keep an eye out. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting." After all, he knew a lot of people. As for his guild and the awkward truth of it's members, Bastien gave a sheepish grin and looked off to the side. "We've had some members go. Unfortunately some of them...passed...others have simply not shown up for a while. In terms of official members I believe we have four. But the guild's strength is that it welcomes everyone. There are several people in and out of studio each day." Perhaps he ought to start making them join, so it would look a little more impressive when he spoke of his organisation. He smiled at the compliments for his work, noticing that Anden seemed emotional but assuming the man was simply fragile after his recent upheaval. "Oh, no, I don't make a habit of it. I only sketch people that catch my attention." Bastien took the book back close to him then and thought for a moment, unsure what Anden was asking entirely. "I tend to work on my art and look after my child...sometimes the Voice requires us to complete tasks for her, but I am...not a fighter nor an explorer. She knows this, so my jobs have a tendency to be more...creative and peaceful." I am the carbon collected. I am the printed upon your stars.
