Which is fine. That's the risk a fellow runs, taking up with a (technically) married man who has a history of riling people up for kicks and/or intel, who's sometimes genuinely moody and difficult, and has now been saddled with a position where he cannot possibly please everyone in their rowdy and disparate little organization and has more important work to do than try. If what Bastien needed was for everyone to be happy for him, he'd have married Catarina Barreau and had half a dozen very boring children.
