"I hope my predictability might be a comfort to those in times of uncertainty." Bastien joked.
'Learning what it is we argue about' brought a faint smile to Bastien's face as he considered the phrase. For a moment he stayed quiet too, looking up to the sky with Ronin, the wonderful stillness of the moon and stars above them (was Safrin there, he wondered, looking down? He hadn't been killed by a meteor yet, so he took that as a good sign). "My friend, it takes more than you could know to make me give up on a person."
Looking across at Ronin after a moment Bastien hesitated then spoke: "If I could make you an offer...I have an ability. The Voice gave me the power to make those around me feel calm and at peace for as long as I am with them...Rexanna tells me it can be quite powerful, when one is stressed. Would you like me to help you, if just for a while, to feel better?"
