He laughed at Lena's comment. "I'm sure, since they appointed you as Caregiver." Zavien smiled at her, remembering how much she loved the Celestine and being able to help nurture its residents. He still needed to stop by for a visit at some point. Perhaps when he got back.
Watching her hand move across the page with confident strokes, he wondered what she may be sketching as he cocked his head in curiosity. He would have to ask her later. Until then, Zavien chuckled lightly at her question. "I've only really prayed to Vi so far. The other gods haven't really resonated with me, but I also don't know them. I've only heard passing comments about personalities or interactions. None of which make me especially inclined to pray to them." He shrugged his shoulders, not sure what else to say about the matter. His prayers hadn't been answered yet, but that didn't mean he was going to pray to a god that didn't align with his beliefs.
Lena's calming demeanor and clarification helped ease his anxiety about the Hadama situation. "I get that." He really did understand her reasoning. She'd made valid points at the meeting that had set him thinking. It was possible that he'd agreed too quickly.
Shifting slightly so that he leaned back on one hand, he continued, "And I appreciate your concern. It's nice to have someone worried about me for once." He smiled at her before looking down again at the green gem in his hand. "I just want to help. Even if that means that I have to start at the bottom as a meager fly absorbing information, I'm willing to do that." Zavien didn't have the standing or abilities to do much more than that at the moment. 'Fair' didn't seem like something he could afford when he had nothing to give. Trying to reassure both Lena and himself, he gave her a determined look. "I'll make sure to stay out of the spotlight and watch for trouble. I won't continue if things look too dangerous." He couldn't guarantee his safety, but he could promise to try.
