Just smile and be happy.
The fluffy white wool of Alpinas originally made them seem like soft creatures, but Zavien suspected those giant horns weren't just there for show. It made him wince to imagine getting pummeled by one. "Ouch. How long did that take to heal?" Despite Lena's calm and caring nature, he didn't think she'd appreciate being physically limited by an injury. He'd seen how down she'd been after feeling like she wasn't making a difference.
Zavien had to hide a smile at the cute wiggle of delight she made. It was more than a little endearing, letting him relax further in the moment. He chuckled to himself as he took another bite of his own, followed by a sip of wine. At the mention of dragons, Sol peeked another eye open, sending a push of hunger down the bond, a very obvious plea for table scraps. Assuming that mirage crab cakes weren't in the diets of most dragons, he pulled a piece of jerky from his pocket, lowering under the table for his companion to munch on.
While listening to Lena's answer, he leaned forward again, intent on paying attention to every detail. It seemed the right time to ask his earlier question, curious to know the circumstances around her affinity for animals. "Is that around the time you became an Attuned? Or did that happen before?"
