Zavien
There was a sense of pride in seeing his idea come to light as the crew trekked determinedly through the marshy wetland. Although the new attention from the insects was definitely annoying, Zavien still found himself grinning with satisfaction as they continued laying their stakes. As they finished their work for the day, rested through the night, and began again in the morning, his mood remained bright. Not even the distant storm clouded his thoughts. Only the growing black smoke and its orange hue served to dampen his optimism.
Zavien looked to Hawthorn across the field for confirmation, but he was concerned that the storm may have caused a fire. Their exposure in the middle of the grasslands was not a good position. If it was a wildfire, it would eat up the ground in a matter of hours. They would be unable to escape the smoke or burning flames. It was imperative that they make a choice now on how to proceed.
Running casually over to Hawthorn (not wanting to alarm the others), he asked in a hushed voice, "Is it really a fire?" He was fairly certain it was, but was hoping that Hawthorn might cast away his fears. Knowing that it was unlikely, he started brainstorming. "What should we do? There aren't really any places to hide. Could we make a barrier of some kind with dirt or stones? Or find a river? Maybe we can cut away enough grass to keep it contained? It'll be too big to put out on our own. We have to find a way to protect everyone." His usually bright face was dark with worry. He would do whatever necessary to protect the others, but he didn't have any grand abilities or skills to help in this area. Frustration at his weakness, Zavien prepared to assist in whatever plan Hawthorn chose for them to pursue.

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
