things i wish i didn’t know

BASTIEN

"I suppose that's just fatherhood." Bastien had never seen himself as a family man, yet he'd found given the chance of a wife and child he'd slipped into the role with surprising ease, not even having to consider the move. "Do you feel the same way about Seren?" He'd never really heard Ronin speak too much of his second child.

Ronin graciously did answer his question so he sat back to listen to the answer. Sometimes, he forgot that Ronin had 'died' (after all, usually people didn't come back) and let out a almost silent breath of amusement at the casual inclusion of the phrase in his words. "Ah, so you have changed as well, you think?" He asked, personally not having seen too much of a change from the Blight in Ronin, but he had admittedly not been too close to the man until after it's effects.

"With memories, yes, though I've heard it can be cruel with them. Pretending to be people from one's past and so on...I am sometimes grateful that the Voice does not indulge in much trickery. If I had to see a 'ghost' of Rexanna..." He shivered and shook his head, the thought repulsive. "...I was thinking of putting a lantern out for her at this Leafchange, but I'm not sure there is any point, with her not being in Mort's Realm."

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