BASTIEN
"I've seen people smile as a noose is tied around their neck - that ability means little. What matters is if you feel content within yourself at the quiet hours of the night." Bastien wasn't lying about this; public executions had been something regarded as entertainment in a lot of places during his time and he'd seen more than a few, but usually not by choice. He'd always found it frightening, to look death so in the face...now that he considered it, perhaps that was why Ascension had seen so appealing.
Could anyone ever truly know how another felt for them? Bastien had no way of knowing entirely that Rexanna loved him, though he was very sure of the fact indeed. "Ask them. Or just keep being good to them - that is the best way to assure they will like you."
He only smiled as Oliver thanked him for his friendship. It was not a hard thing for him to give; Bastien wanted to be a friend of most people, with very few exceptions. Most of them were so interesting and his life and art were enriched by knowing as many as possible.
Bastien went back to his drawing as Oliver began to say, in a voice reminding him of a lovestruck schoolgirl, that there was a man he'd like to be a friend of indeed. Keeping his voice carefully neutral for the moment (but unable to help the knowing smile), Bastien asked: "What is it you think you might get him? What is it he likes?"

Some people can't get success with their art
Some people never feel love in their heart
Some people can't tell the two things apart
But I keep rollin' on
Some people can't tell the two things apart
But I keep rollin' on
