-Zavien-
Giving a reluctant nod, he kept flashing his eyes between Koa and the looming edge, apprehension building in his chest. He wasn’t sure what could be ‘safe’ about being suspended over leagues of nothing but open air. But Zavien wouldn’t let fear control his life. Accepting his friend’s reassuring smile, he tried to return it. Although it came out a bit strained, determination was present too. ”Cliff jumping? No. We were more interested in playing soldier.” He may have taken it more seriously than the other kids, but they still liked brandishing their swords in acts of pretend valor. Jumping off cliffs had been the farthest thing from his mind, especially when looking down made his stomach get queasy.
Humored by Koa’s official attitude, Zavien straightened his back. ”Very well, Dragoon Carpenter. You will lead us on a path over the cliffs towards the indicated site.” He flashed a playful smile and began rummaging through the gear. There were bits of metal and straps tangled together with various lengths of rope. Not sure what the pieces were for, he stopped and looked at the other Breaker, a blush on his cheeks from a mix of nerves and embarrassment. ”Maybe you could show me the ropes first?” The pun helped to break his tension enough to elicit a laugh as he straightened up and waited for assistance.
