BASTIEN
Bastien opened his mouth to respond to Amun's further bickering, but then the man seemed to purposefully calm himself and step back; Bastien swallowed his words too, not wanting to fight when he didn't have to. As much as the tiredness and irritability that had been laid upon them desired an outlet, he knew it wouldn't be productive to let it out on their Ascended brother.Besides, it seemed when Amun actually realised what was going on, he was happy enough for them and a reminder of what they were actually doing all of it for made Bastien smile in turn. "We are, yes." Leaning over to put an arm around Rexanna for a moment he squeezed her close. "The Voice is creating us a child using a combination of our energies. She says we can expect the baby sometime in the middle of Deepfrost." A winter birthday: fitting for a baby that would come to be from mechanical means.
Letting go of Rex and holding out the sack for Amun, he adopted a more sombre expression: "...Which friend of yours has passed?"
We're aware they're trying to take away our dreams
