Kid, I feel like yelling
Ring the bell and bang the drum
For the new few months it was inadvisable for he or Rexanna to seek out wild adventure beyond the Sanctuary. Bastien was glad that they had gotten their journey into Raes Fingers when they had; it had not been a massively dangerous or thrilling mission, but it had at least fulfilled his desire to go out and explore something new for the time being.
So all there was to do was to prepare their home for the new arrival. When Bastien had moved into the Sanctuary building he had left the last room on the corridor empty, thinking in time he might transform it into a private study or some kind of meditation space, perhaps a personal closet for his variety of fashionable items. He had never once imagined he might be changing it into a baby room.
Of course, he had to do it in his own fashion. Drawing out the lines for a mural, he had grand plans indeed for the room. Some mountains in the middle, dividing a stylised view of Halo and the Hollowed Grounds - to one end Torchline and to the other a swirling galaxy to represent those places less well travelled. He did not include the Greatwood. Whether this was a statement due to his Ascended nature or simply having run out of space, who could say?
Of course, this was a joint activity between him and Rexanna. He was drawing the undersketch but he trusted her to begin the painting, allowing her to take whatever liberties she chose with the drawing beneath. With the thought player twinkling out some harmless tune it was a peaceful time and he was happy to continue in a companionable silence for a long time before finally speaking to muse: "Did you ever think we would be doing this? Life truly does keep delivering surprises, even after it dropped me in an entirely different world."
