So, About That Funeral...

REXANNA i am your friend, a soul for your soul. home. sun or water, here or away — She leaned back, crossing a leg over the other as Bastien explained his plan to her. Her mind still trying to wrap around the fact that Bastien wasn’t dead, and had simply been cursed. She imagined she’d have a good laugh about the situation later when she was alone, but offered a similar wide grin to him that he gave to her. As he explained, her smile began to falter slightly and her brows inched slightly closer together. “If you’ve already been cursed, don’t you think that they’d not… appreciate it if you were to say it was part of their plan to resurrect you?” She paused, considering. But Bastien was frustrated, and she shut her mouth as he went on to speak of humbling himself. To which she nodded – she agreed to an extent, deciding that everyone should at least try to be humble. But she nodded to him, a crooked smile crossing her lips as she eyed him and sighed softly as well. “Your secret is safe with  me, dear.” She purred to him, but she wanted to try and make him understand that if a god had cursed them, the last thing you should do is anger them more. She knew that from Frey. She also knew that Bastien was very into himself, and it would be hard to get through his thick skull without offending him. And she wasn’t certain where to start, but she stood and made her way back over to him and knelt down a bit to be more eye level with where he sat, looking at his old face as she contemplated. “You don’t need to lose. It’s a hard task you’ve been given, but if anyone can manage it, it’s you.” She hummed, trying to inflate his ego. “And being humble isn’t so bad.” She winked before laughing quietly. “It seems as though she wants you to know that you can still be a great and valuable person without your looks on your side.” She added, tilting her head. “If it helps, even if you stayed in this form forever I’d still travel around Caido with you.” She hummed to him, looking up into his face. —we are a lighthouse, we leave and we stay.
