Zavien
I think all things,
in their way,
in their way,
He wasn't sure he agreed with 'fair trade,' but who was he to argue? Even if it seemed like she could have more than handled the situation on her own. Instead, she had to injure herself in order to heal his clumsy injuries. With that in mind, he wasn't surprised when she refused to shake his hand. Zavien attempted to keep the hurt from his eyes as he continued to share a warm smile. Perhaps she just needed more time.
Dropping his hand, his eyebrows raised at the name she offered. "As in 'Maea Valair'?" After his conversation with Hadama, he'd committed the full name to memory, planning to reach out when he had information to share. Although, at this point, there wasn't a lot of activity that he felt necessary to divulge. And after the meeting with Koa and Lena... he was more concerned about the possible danger of investigating within Stormbreak. However, not wanting to scare the woman, he added, "A friend of mine mentioned a researcher in the Hollowed Grounds. Would that be you? If not, I apologize for the mistake. I haven't met many people named Maea." He was talking too much. A sheepish smile crossed his mouth as he shut it tightly.
Maea's startled response to the kitten made Zavien grimace and he reached down to detach the friendly critter from her skirts. Scratching under its chin elicited an echoing purr that had him chuckling. His arms dwarfed the black bundle of fur and he gazed at it affectionately. "Nah. He just found me by the port. That tends to happen a lot." The truth was that they sought him out as much as he did them. Animals just had an innocence about them that gave him hope for a kinder world. He looked up with a toothy grin of satisfaction for himself and the loving rumbles but simultaneously cocked his head like a confused puppy. "You don't like cats?" Who wouldn't love their adorable little faces? It was so incompatible with his own thoughts that he narrowed his eyes to try and understand.
