Just smile and be happy.
Zavien had to accept her honesty, expecting nothing less from the woman. He would have been more disappointed if she made a promise she couldn’t keep. Grinning with satisfaction, he simply said, ”That’s all I can ask.” It would just depend on her availability and what creatures happened to visit the Celestine.
At the banshee war cry, Zavien looked to the commotion in concern, but the kids just squealed in glee at the snowball’s antics. Shaking his head in disbelief, he continued their conversation about the Dragoons. ”Anju is a little more intimidating than Koa, but they’re good people.” He gave her a warm smile at the slight underselling of the Captain’s initial impression. Although she may have a strong presence, it helped to know that the leaders wanted the best for Caido.
His eyes lit up at the mention of dragons and he blushed at his own excitement. ”I would be honored if a dragon chose to bond with me, but I don’t want to force it. If the gods will it, then I will be more than grateful.” In fact, he’d already imagined all the possibilities his own dragon could be like. Maybe it would be big or small? Maybe it would be blue or yellow? Smart? Kind? Fast? Strong? Old? Young? Any combination would be beyond his wildest dreams! Looking sheepishly at Lena, he asked, ”Does that sound strange?”
