Honestly, Bastien finds it so odd that the sylvari can't feel cold. It's such a foreign concept to him since poor Bastien gets pretty cold quickly. That explains the waistcoat and coat he typically wears. The pirate is probably anemic and he doesn't exactly have a great diet. In all truth, Bastien should see a physician but he honestly doesn't seem to mind the chill of the ocean in mer form. His physiology changes quite a bit during that odd transformation from man to merman. He just never noticed that difference.

"Ah, this?" He points to his bruise. "Some angry blue bloke pummeled me good when I was back in town. Loooong story." Not really. Bastien just wants to avoid mentioning why the bloke socked him one. Might scare his willowy love.

"But I wouldn't mind you healin' it! You do have a healer's touch." The pirate states with a chuckle once.
