Rexanna's response was encouraging for what he had to ask. Bastien nodded, dipped his bread again and took a bite before he had the courage to take a breath and speak. "Well. I know with his relative independence and so on, he is not quite the same. However, since his arrival...I have not been able to tear my mind from the notion of children. Especially since I saw you give him your craft - it was so sweet, the way you two immediately bonded." With a sigh more confused than solemn, he shook his head.
"I have never thought I would have children nor desire them. I often used to say my art was my child or indeed my students; now that is beginning to change. Perhaps because I have found someone I would want to raise a child with." With a smile he went to hold her hand, stroked his thumb along her knuckles. "It is some kind of magical quality you possess. I never thought I would be married, yet here I am." Really, it was just love and he knew that, but it still made him chuckle that Rexanna had so swiftly reconstructed his world view just by being herself.
Though he was aware this was not just about his changing thoughts and wants. "Of course, there are difficulties with our physical ability to have children now, but The Voice has told me she would help us find a solution to the problem. Whether that would involve an actual pregnancy, I do not know..." He suspected probably not, unless there was a reason the child needed to develop in a womb - it seemed The Voice could just take some of him and some of Rexanna and create a child, though he was not sure if he was overestimating her power with that assumption.
"Also...I am aware that children and having them is...a complicated topic for you, love. Given the past. And that is why I bring this up now, the way I have - to explain all my thoughts and coming to this, and to let you see it and feel free to turn it away. If you do not wish it for our futures, it shall never be mentioned again. I will be content with you and my work and Pittore. What do you think?" He asked, genuinely unsure what her response would be.
