Zavien
On his final stop before leaving Stormbreak, Zavien made his way through the Celestine one more time. He took in the sights and sounds, trying not to look at it all like it would be the last time. Despite the fears and anxieties, he had made a promise to come back. This wasn't a permanent decision, and he wouldn't leave his home to the clutches of the Family forever, but sometimes it was hard to see beyond recent events and the reality of the present.
Although his own strength might not be enough to make a difference, he'd seen what Safrin could do in the battle, had seen how her power shifted the tide of the battle. If his physical strength alone wasn't enough, perhaps she could help him shift the scales. He at least owed her an offering of appreciation for her participation in the fight, but he hoped she might be willing to do more.
Sol flew ahead, already knowing the way to the shrine that they often frequented. In his pudgy paws, he clutched the first offering, gently depositing it as Zavien entered. The glass orb displayed a snowflake inside, its crisp perfection representative of the part she'd played in protecting Halo and the others. It sparkled in the sunlight as he laid the second offering upon the shrine, a dark lantern that initially looked unassuming, the sides a nearly solid black; however, upon closer inspection, small star shaped openings speckled the metal. Taking a match, he lit the inside, allowing the stars to glow like the small flame of hope that flared in his chest, the optimist that still lived within. As a final touch, Zavien added a bouquet of flowers that the shopkeeper had called 'stargazer lilies,' their petals fanning out in five points.
Nerves bundled in his chest, but Sol's comforting nudge encouraged him to take a deep breath before calling out with a bittersweet smile, "Safrin, thank you so much for your help during the battle. You were magnificent, and probably the only reason everyone else made it out alive." Since he was sure she knew about the other events, he didn't mention them, even as his fallen expression spoke of the trauma of death. His head dipped with the weight of shame when he added softly, "I obviously need to do better, to be better..." Sighing, Zavien ran a hand through his hair. "I don't know how to do that yet... but after seeing your power, I'm sure that it couldn't hurt to strengthen my current weapons." Unsheathing his sword, he offered it forward as he glanced up. "Could you help me?"
