Zavien
I'm going to change the world,
Glancing back at the bloody pool, he considered her statement. "That would make sense. We are in the Climb after all. I guess we should be glad that they're not all blood." Zavien laughed at the comment but was secretly thankful that the water was still blue when he looked at the other areas.
"Me too! You'll be the first person to meet my dragon!" he promised, totally oblivious to her blush as his excitement buzzed about. "After all, you're the animal expert. And I feel like you're the only one who knew how much this meant to me." Zavien turned to her with a bright gleam in his eyes and a warm smile on his face. He felt like she'd understand him best. She'd seen how much he'd hoped to have a dragon one day, and now that it was here, after her advice, he couldn't imagine sharing the pivotal moment with anyone else.
Peeking his eye in her direction, he noted the shift in her mood enough not to comment. He couldn't read minds, but he could tell that there was something weighing on her mind, and when he had something heavy in his brain, he wanted nothing more than to take action. So with a nod, Zavien didn't stop her as she shifted, taking off into the upper reaches of the cavern. It was possible that they just couldn't see the hidden buds, but the cave wasn't that big and he hadn't seen any white despite the contrasting black rocks. However, he understood a need to find something and he didn't want to discourage Lena from exhausting every option to reassure her. He sorted through the rocks as he waited patiently for her, occasionally glancing up to spot her colorful feathers above.
When she would finally touch down again, he would give her a soft smile. "There's not much we can do about it. Maybe someone already picked them all. Or maybe they don't bloom this time of day." Shrugging his shoulders, he slid his body fully into the water, relishing in the warmth. "We'll just have to come again another time." Zavien gave her a playful grin, more than happy to have any excuse to visit the relaxing atmosphere with her again while also trying to lighten her mood. Deimos may have said that the flowers were important, but Zavien wasn't about to get caught up in worries he couldn't control. Void; he could fight. His own actions; he could manage. Rae's Lillies; not within his capabilities. So he shrugged his shoulders and closed his eyes against the steam wafting up from the water. "We were still able to get part of my quest done, so it wasn't a waste of a trip. Let's enjoy the fact that we're here." His arms were propped across the side of the pool, pulling his tight muscles into a comfortable stretch, eased by the heat that seeped into his skin. Sighing with contentment, he opened his green eyes to see if Lena had settled enough to join him.
