I can't control their fear, only my own.
He half expected more of a fight, seeing the reluctance in Hadama's gaze. However, when the Mer King spoke again, there was a shift in their relationship that had Zavien's eyes widening. To be honest, he'd already considered the man somewhat of a friend, but it was nice to hear the title made official.
Grasping the man's hand firmly to stand, Zavien gave him a warm smile in return. "Friends and allies. I would like that." As he gathered the meat into his bag, making sure to wrap it, he chuckled. "Although maybe we shouldn't go so long between meetings next time." Considering their options, he said, "Meet me during Longheat in the Falling. That should be enough time for me to get answers." With their meeting decided, Zavien felt a weight lift off his shoulders. The nerves he'd been carrying as a 'spy' vanished. The concern he'd had about clarifying with Hadama was gone. All that remained was a sense of determination and comradery for the coming tribulations. As they walked out of the forest, Zavien had a grin on his face and a pep in his step, ready to take on the world.
