BASTIEN
When Rexanna finally squeezed his hand and spoke, Bastien had become lost in his own thoughts on matters. He had been thinking how he would have liked to go on a holiday; in Venice he had often whisked a friend or lover away to spend a weekend or so in Paris, perhaps Rome...in Caido there was not, at least not yet, anywhere so easy and wonderful to steal away to. Besides, with his wife now being the Queen, he supposed they could not just leave when things were tough.
"...I see." He nodded. Already knowing that many children had been injured or killed, it was not too much of a shock to hear that one he knew of was gone too; still he felt his heart bleed painfully for Ronin, who had already lost so much. Remi, who had opened his heart once more. What could one really say, to the loss of a child?
Finally, he found some words: "Do..you wish to speak of that? Of...how it happened?" Normally he did not hesitate before he spoke, but here he knew he did not want to push Rexanna to say anything she did not want to, wanted to let her lead their conversation.
