Bastien
As everyone stood up to put themselves forwards, went to vote, Bastien just watched, smiling to himself every so often as if having some kind of secret joke in his mind. He stayed seated through it all, though, made no move to stand and put in his own opinion.There were a couple of reasons - partly an old sense of anarchy, maybe some rebellion left over from his time in Venice, where the 'government' had been naughty more than a group of merchants looking out for their own profits. Mostly however, he thought it best if he stayed as neutral as possible, so that his guild would not appear to be bias towards any person (he realised, given his Ascended painting, this was a little ironic, but he was not perfect) or type of person.
Whatever the result, he knew Rexanna would respect it, so he would too (though that didn't mean they wouldn't bitch about it back in their bedroom. What else was a spouse for?); he waited with interest to see what would happen.
