It took no time for Bastien to fetch the wine and the snacks but what took time was for the pirate to calm his nerves. He's back. He's back in this odd little world again after closing his eyes and being lulled into slumber. The last time was here, Bastien had felt oddly tired, almost as if someone sapped all the life out of him. He stretched out on the sand after a good swim and never awoke. His world went blank and everything just faded away into nothingness. Bastien was gone. Erased from this world with a mere thought. Now that he been returned here, Bastien can't help but feel grateful.

While there's still several things he would like to inquire about the Dreaming and Aifaran itself, Bastien settles on seeing his 'pretty fern' first. He raps his knuckles at the door with a merry hum, his amber eyes alight with joy. The pirate looks very much the same with that signature turquoise bandana wrapped around his forehead. However, he went through the painstaking task of combing his absurdly long hair and actually picking up some fresh clothing.

"Trahearne~?" He sweetly calls for him while shifting the basket of goodies he brought upon his arm. That bottle of red is a little heavy. "Open up, luv! I got us food and drink." Bastien is feeling mighty proud of himself.

Duibhe does seem rather interested in sniffing Bastien's finger, almost leaning over too far up until Trahearne reaches up to steady her. "I'm sure I have enough affection for the both of you," he says with a smile, leaning in to kiss his temple. Duibhe meeps in protest at her perch moving around so much, digging her claws in hard enough that Trahearne winces, opting to move her to the table. She immediately toddles over to the basket of food to inspect it, leaving her preoccupied for the moment.

"It's not just that she's fluffy, though that helps. One of the forts the Pact took over in the fight against Zhaitan had a trio of mousers that often kept me company. I greatly valued how well they could cheer everyone up. You're quite good at cheering me up too, Bastien. I'll make sure your trust in my animal training skills isn't misplaced."

That he hadn't done it before was a little bit of an issue... but how hard could it be? Trahearne felt that he wasn't so weak to cat-like animals that he couldn't be firm with Duibhe. Or at least, he thought he wasn't.

Trahearne was already starting to lean back into him, placing a hand on his hip, when the exclamation made him pause. Sure enough, Duibhe was using her claws to climb up the side of the basket, where she could go after the fruits inside at her leisure. He should've realized that she would go straight for the closest food source, but with Bastien here he'd gotten rather preoccupied.

"Oh yes, she loves fruit. Just a moment." Traherne stepped away from the table to fetch the two small food bowls on the floor, filling one up with water before returning to set those on the table. "Now, what do we have in here?" He scooped Duibhe up with one hand while using the other to pick up the fruit she'd been intent on, one with a banana-like consistency on the inside. Trahearne set her down as he peeled the skin off, as Duibhe makes high-pitched squeaking noises, begging for her breakfast. She zoomed right for her bowl as soon as Trahearne filled it with fruit pieces.

"There we are. I'm sorry, Bastien. She's growing like a weed and is practically ravenous when she wakes up."
