BASTIEN
Once he had actually spoken to Rexanna, as horrible as her state was, Bastien felt comforted. At least he knew she still lived and she was being cared for by some of the best people he knew, people who cared for her deeply. He believed she would live and he would see her again. The waiting was still torture, but at least he could settle into it rather than being hit by a new wave of panic every hour.
When his fear had begun to subside, he had had a chance to reflect on how he had entered the temple. He had been angry and scared; looking back he realised he had probably been harsher than he should have been.
With a sigh he had begun to look for Oliver, thinking he had to apologise. The boy was new to Caido, after all. He could not be expected to know everything, to be sure of what to do in something as terrifying as Longnight. Finally, he found Oliver in a corner, a sketchbook in his hands (which made Bastien smile. He always turned to art when he was frustrated or sad. Perhaps they had something in common).
Carefully he approached, nodding a greeting. "Hello, Oliver. I...wanted to apologise for how I spoke to you, when I entered. I was very worried about Rexanna and myself - well, I have found Rexanna is well now, so I can think more clearly. I hope you have not taken it to heart."

You standing beside me
I'm going to push back, push back, push back
With every word and every breath
I'm going to push back, push back, push back
With every word and every breath
