BASTIEN
When Ronin phrased it like that, Bastien supposed he could see that there was no other choice; he looked down to the child in his arms, knew that no matter where he was, if he had a chance to watch them grow, he would. "...You're right. Though I am sure there will be times in my life I will have to watch them be scared or sad and not be able to do anything still...which is an unsettling thought." Still a new father, Bastien was surprised by the overwhelming protectiveness he felt towards his child, the need to keep them from any pain, no matter how unrealistic he knew it was.
"That changed? I see...has that been hard for you? To have the one you love change so drastically?" He felt he and Ronin were close enough nowadays for such a question, but Bastien trusted that if he was going too far, he would be told politely to back off.
Hearing that Remi, who had always seemed a little too happy and simple for the Gods, was a worker of Ludo certainly came as a jarring realisation. "Hm. I have never met Ludo myself, I do not know what it is like to speak to...I did not think it had much in common with Remi, though."

You standing beside me
I'm going to push back, push back, push back
With every word and every breath
I'm going to push back, push back, push back
With every word and every breath
