Just smile and be happy.
He waits patiently while Jude writes in his notebook, watching as his hands create the beautiful strokes. Zavien's own handwriting usually resembles dragon claw scratches. Often times, he can't even read it himself. Luckily, Jude's is much better. When he turns it around for Zavien to read, the elegant lines emphasize his understanding of the overall lesson, making him smile. "You and your voice have more power than you think. As long as you don't forget that, I know you'll do great things."
Looking to the three underlines, he blushes slightly and proceeds to jostle Jude in embarrassed appreciation. "You really don't need to thank me. It's my purpose in life to make the world a better place. I'm just glad to have met a kind soul despite a difficult situation." Zavien steps away with the sun outlining his profile as he decides to head home for some much-desired sleep. He clasps Jude one more time on the shoulder. "I will be sure to drop in on you in Torchline to let you know how the man recovers. In the meantime, try to stay out of trouble. And if it's unavoidable, feel free to come find me. I'm always happy to help." Giving him a final wink, Zavien turns and walks home, a content satisfaction keeping his steps light despite the exhaustion dragging at his bones. He counts any day where he gets to meet new and interesting people as a good day.
{FIN}
