Just smile and be happy.
Rolling his shoulders, Zavien assesses his own physical condition. He finds no abnormalities or lingering pains. With a satisfied grin, he flexes his arms. "Nah. I think I'm good. I've just been doing some more training and traveling." It occurs to him that he's never asked Hawthorn what he does. Tilting his head, he considers the man. His guess would be something artistic? Maybe something indoors based on his gentler disposition? But what about his physicality? Overall, Zavien has no idea and he proceeds to simply ask, "By the way, what exactly do you do for work?"
While he waits for Hawthorn to answer, he finishes placing the garland around the door's frame. When he steps back, he analyzes the remaining decorations, looking for what else to add. The fuchsia wreath stands out and he grabs it, planning to add it to the door, but wanting to put some of the ornaments on it. As he picks up a few of the paper balls, he responds to Hawthorn. "You're always welcome here! I don't keep my door locked, so if you ever need a place to stay, just stop by. Although, maybe knock first so I don't think I'm getting robbed?" Zavien chuckles happily at the thought of having a surprise visit from a friend. His mom had always encouraged having a large and loving community based around warm fireplaces and belly-laughs.
A remodel is definitely in order, but Zavien looks proudly at the rundown home. "I'll take you up on that someday! As long as it still stands as a beacon of safe refuge to others, I'm all for a redesign." An image of joy and comfort with a multitude of people coming and going makes Zavien smile, hoping that one day the dream comes true.
