WHO: Alexandrie, Athessa, Bastien, Barrow, Derrica, Nell, and Poesia WHAT: A Very Riftwatch Summer Vacation WHEN: Late Solace WHERE: Churneau, Occupied Orlais NOTES: Violence cw etc. Bunch of details here.
Bastien doesn't have to sympathize with a person's desire to understand it. He'd be a soggy snotty mess of a sometimes-assassin if he did. But he himself has arranged a world where no one alive would even know his given name, never mind have to be told not to use it, so in this case he can do both. People should be called what they want to be called.
"Well," he says, "I like Barrow. Good luck to have a family name that fits you so well. Solid and... friendly, you know, at the same time."
This yields a chuckle, and any tension that was there dissipates as quickly as it arrived. "I'm glad it pleases you," he replies, and though there's sarcastic humor in it, the warmth behind his smirk should banish any perception of resentment. "Though perhaps a little less solid at the moment."
