"A good bit of barbarism never hurt anyone, my lady." Bastien said with a wink, taking in more of the wine. It was like the memory of wine, too thin and not enough taste but just enough to make it worthwhile.
What else was like that? Everything, really, except for the intensity of his bite, but..."I feel heat and cold differently. Only slightly...though the sun burns like I am stood in a furnace. I feel touch in a new way too...almost, in my mind, instead of in the skin. I know I have been touched, but the sensation is new. Also.." He glimpsed down. "Perhaps you should know this given our new relation. I am struggling to raise the flag, yes? But I understand there are ways to work around it...and with the bite having so much power I am sure it won't be too missed."
He did not seem embarrassed at all about this fact of his Ascension, casually leaned back and took a sip himself before answering her last question. "No...well. For a brief second, then it was just bliss. The most beautiful sights before my eyes, a whole universe to play with, floating up into the sky...it was life-changing." Eyes glazed over with the memory he looked down into his glass, swirled the wine.
"If it were possible for you, Rexanna...I would suggest we both undergo the process. But as far as I know, the Gods will not speak to those with magic. Unfair, I think. Perhaps...if you wanted to, one day we could convince them."

Bastien
With a flash of the ankle, snarl of the lip
I see you in the street and gasp
Cause only Anarchists are pretty
