Zavien
I think all things,
in their way,
in their way,
The planting analogy had Zavien chuckling. "But I'm sure he's the cutest little weed!" Although he'd interacted with a lot of kids in the lower sections of Stormbreak, he hadn't been around many babies. Most of his acquaintances were with the ones who could already walk (for the most part) and talk. With that in mind, he asked, "How long until you think he'll be beating you in the sparring ring?" His smile was evidence enough of his jesting, but he still wondered at how Deimos would train the little one. The Warden obviously valued self-defense and weapons skills as shown by their sessions together, yet he was curious about whether he would force the practice on his son.
On the other hand, his wife was clearly more than capable of handling herself. Eyes wide, Zavien laughed loudly in disbelief. "Wow! Remind me not to piss her off." He didn't think he'd stand a chance against such a powerful foe (ursur or woman) and he shook his head at the thought. The overwhelming pride on Deimos's face made him smile warmly. "It sounds like you got really lucky to find Evie."
The next topic wasn't quite as enjoyable and he flinched at the thought of recent events, including Dahlia's surprise 'help' finding Mr. Matas. Plus, after seeing how normal Everest looked even though they suspected him of being infected, Zavien was hesitant to fully trust anyone. However, he and the others had agreed that they should put in the extra effort to strengthen the ring before Safrin completed it. And with Deimos's position as a strong hybrid and an important leader, he might be able to help them. Praying that Koa and Lena didn't kill him, Zavien paused his digging to run a nervous hand through his hair. "Not really. A few here and there... but some of us are taking precautions to help identify infected flora, fauna,... and people." He let the words sink in, trying not to rush the topic too quickly.
