With your big heart, you praise God above, but how's it working out for you, honey?
The quiet, cautious way Azrael asked if their birth had been unnatural was painful; the hesitation there, the knowledge that Bastien could not entirely say no. He was quiet for a long moment, trying to think of the right phrasing, the correct words; eventually he turned more towards Az and with slow, circular gestures of his hand, explained. "It is not...how humans naturally, normally have children. But Azrael, you must remember that the Voice is introducing to everyone new ways to do things. New, better ways for everything to work. How you were born is one of those - so it might not be what people are used to, but that doesn't make it wrong. Do you understand?"
Honestly, Bastien wasn't sure whether it actually was better; while there had not been the pains of childbirth, Azreal had grown in a flash. That was the Voice, though: ever efficient with no time for sentiments in her designs.
The next question was no easier, one that could just have well have been asked in his old world without an answer then either. "They do not see it the way we do. There are always people in the world that disagree...unfortunately, these people have allowed fear and hate to cloud their judgement though. That disagreement has turned to violence. We are not hopeless, but things may be hard for a long while." How long he really couldn't say; a war where several soldiers on either side were immortal, run by Gods, could go into the eons.
