Zavien
Zavien didn't think it was fair that Lena looked as good as she did after all the work. Where did she get the right? He had to rip his eyes away from her, running a hand through his hair as he assessed the bookshelf placement. "Are you sure? We could move it again if you need?" He was partially joking, but he also wanted to make sure it was exactly where she wanted it, shown by the obvious glint in his eyes.
The adorable amount of excitement the followed forced Zavien to hide the majority of his smile, not wanting her to think he was laughing at her. Yet he couldn't resist the overwhelming level of attraction towards her infectious joy, a magnet too powerful to resist. He had to chuckle to keep his face from breaking apart. "They're definitely cute." And he meant more than just the glowing luxere as he shared a crooked smile with her. Reigning in the charm a little, he shrugged his shoulders. "If you have any extras then I might take you up on that, but let's make sure your house is protected first." That was his priority after all.
Then she was leading him down the hallway, finishing the promised tour with surprising succinctness. Zavien had to keep his eyes from lingering on a particular space, giving Lena a polite smile full of nothing but gentlemanly warmth. "It really is perfect, Lena. Just a few plants, and it'll be like a cozier version of the Celestine." The smile turned more playful as he pictured what she'd probably been imagining earlier, so much greenery that it looked more like a forest than a house.
