Bastien
I will not say: do not weep;
for not all tears are an evil.
Hearing those three words, some of the most precious he had heard in a long time (possibly since Rexanna had first told him she loved him), Bastien took a shuddering breath to try and calm himself, let himself take in the waves of relief. "Oh, thank you, Goddess. Thank you." He smiled, his lips shaking as she reached to wipe away his tears; Bastien did not often care to be vulnerable, but there was little choice here.
"They are all that is getting me through." He admitted, staring down at his child - it was not a burden he wanted to place on them, to be his recovery from tragedy, but it was hard to find many reasons other than them to continue. "..Goddess..." Bastien looked up, uncertainty clear on his face and pleading eyes staring at the Voice. "If...if Rexanna is with you, is there a chance I could..speak to her? Just to say goodbye? I never...I never got to say goodbye."
