high hopes

BASTIEN Cause I’ve been making something out of nothing…Like my soul Gold? Well, he might have some difficult finding actual gold, but Bastien was sure he could trouble Remi for some golden paint...with a crafty mind he could make something close to precious jewels and riches, whatever Rexanna desired to be pictured with. It would certainly go with her complexion. "Despite your beginnings you have expensive tastes now, hey?" He teased with a little smirk. "Cara, there is room in the world for all kinds of beauty." He motioned up to a painting of Safrin then moved to stroke a finger gently over Rexanna's cheek. "Her beauty is divine, but yours is just as worthwhile. An Earth-bound beauty, wonderful because it is made from the same things as all of us. To achieve such radiance from only a human body is an accomplishment." He did find her beautiful. This was a clear chance to make a new disciple of his church, someone who loved his doctrine and was aesthetically pleasing on top. But she had been touched by another God...after thinking for a moment, he took his hand away. "...If...I could offer you a chance to be important in this church, would you be interested?"
