[color=39b54a]"I doubt I would have had nearly as much help without his assistance,"[/color] Bastain replied to Lorenzo. [color=39b54a]"It's the least I can do."[/color]

When Lorenzo volunteered to stay up with him, Bastian said nothing. While sleep was important, he knew the hunter wouldn't get any with his companion in such poor condition. Besides, having an archer at the ready in case they were attacked again would be handy. Marque, on the other hand, was a different story. He was clearly distraught, and it wasn't hard to figure out why. Bastian had seen him reposition himself to defend Lorenzo instead of the bard. There was no doubt in his mind that he was no blaming himself for the musician's demise. With Lorenzo keeping an eye on his hound, Bastian decided to give Marque whatever comfort he could.

After Marque went and took a seat, Bastian excused himself to Lorenzo and went to sit down by Marque's side.

[color=39b54a]"It's not your fault,"[/color] he told him. [color=39b54a]"Combat is stressful. Hard decisions need to be made in an instant. You chose to defend the most vulnerable member of our party, which allowed me to assist in neutralizing the threat. While his loss is tragic, you made the right choice. You can't blame yourself for him getting trapped in his sleeping bag. You didn't know it would happen. Fate is a cruel mistress. You can't blame yourself for her fickle nature."[/color]
