Just smile and be happy.
He can't lie that he doesn't feel a small amount of disappointment when nothing happens. Sitting in silence, he waits for a time in case Vi is just late in her response, but time continues to pass with no indications of a reply. Zavien closes his eyes and smiles sadly. Although his prayers may not have been answered, there is no bitterness. Instead, he whispers quietly, "I shall try again when you have more time." With the promise spoken, he stands to leave. His muscles ache when he stands, reminding Zavien of the time spent waiting and he blocks the doubt attempting to creep into his mind. Whether it had the result he wanted or not, he didn't regret coming to the shrine today. He simply brushes off his clothes and blows out the candle before leaving the peaceful oasis.
