Just smile and be happy.
Zavien's eyes light up at the question and he responds without hesitating,"Of course! I've got a pretty large bed. Or if you're not comfortable with that, I have a pullout couch in the living room that I can sleep on. There's a leak in the roof and I don't have a lot of snacks, but the fireplace is functional and someone really cool helped me decorate the outside." His mouth is wide in an excited smile. He hadn't expected Hawthorn to take up his offer so quickly, but he is overjoyed at the opportunity to have a friend share his home. In fact, he's so excited that when Erica places a bowl of rice pudding in front of him, his appetite is already refreshed.
Smiling mostly to himself, he lifts his spoon to dig in when a smack echoes through the air and he feels the sting on his hand. Zavien drops the spoon and looks at Erica with huge puppy eyes. "What?" It comes out as more like a whine, but his feelings are hurt. He is really looking forward to the dessert. However, Erica's vicious glare shuts him up quickly. Instead, she turns to Hawthorn with an anticipatory expression, gesturing to the rice pudding. "Guests first." He isn't going to mention that he could also be considered a guest. Rather, he watches Hawthorn closely, waiting for the verdict on his personal favorite dessert.
