Tal held his breath for a moment as Zavien offered his help finding Sohalia, waiting for the caveat, the 'but,' or the caution that she might not be alive anymore. When none of those appeared the courier released his breath, a look of almost pathetic gratitude on his open face as he reached across the short distance between them to squeeze the Breaker's shoulder. "Thanks, Zav. That's... it means a lot t'me, havin' your help." Every extra pair of eyes was one step closer to finding her, one more chance to bring her home, and he smiled with real warmth before he made his own offer of help with whatever his friend needed.
Hearing that the other man was alone brought the courier up momentarily short and he blinked in surprise. "Oh... uh. I'm sorry t'hear that. If y'ever want t'talk about 'em..." he began awkwardly, not knowing how much family Zavien had once had or what had happened to them. "Well. I c'n listen. We lost our parents... back before th'War. But my sisters're always happy for one o' my friends t'visit." He found a small smile to echo the bright and easy one on Zavien's face. "If y'got th'time, you're welcome t'come back with me t'their place?" he offered tentatively, watching the other man's face with only faintly-disguised anxiety for his reaction to the invitation.
