BASTIEN
"Ah...I heard there was certainly a lot of war." From what Rexanna had told him, Bastien had gotten the impression the places she had come from had been in constant and never-ending political and military strife, moreso than anywhere else he'd heard of or been, even Caido. Perhaps that was why she had been so apt at democracy and so brave, now that he thought of it: maybe she'd seen it all.
Bastien was not a believer in not speaking ill of the dead (if the dead were assholes, let them know about it, he said), but to shift gears into Deimos' disappointment with Rex did make him pause for a moment: he decided to ask more in the end though, figuring anything that kept the story going was something that delayed the inevitable and awful moment where he was alone. "And how was it that she left? My...timelines for her life before are a little muddled, it always seemed very complicated. I've heard of children, husbands, wars, plots...you know..."
The ghost of the laughing smile he had once had passed his face as he went to move the second table. "For a time, I thought you had been the father of her twins. I'm not sure where the misconception arose."
