Zavien
He wasn't in the least bit concerned about Talyson asking for his help in the future and just chuckled warmly in response. The light emotion was preferred to the deep sorrow that he felt thinking of his mother. Time had long dulled the pain to an ache, but it persisted nonetheless. The supportive gesture from Tal helped to dampen the loneliness that often accompanied the thoughts, instead giving him friendship in the place of family.
His stumbled excuses were met with nothing except grins and grace, pulling the anxiety from his chest and replacing it with excitement. "Well.... as long as you're sure I won't be a burden, then I would love to meet your family." Zavien laughed at Tal's investigative sniffing, the blush remaining present on his face. "And I think a bath would be much appreciated. Lead the way!" With a bright smile, he made sure his pack was secure before throwing his arm out in an exaggerated flourish for Tal to guide him towards the clean water.

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
And you cannot see a shadow.
