Zavien
Sol's treat vanished like magic, not even a jaw movement to hint that he'd inhaled the thing. His eyes looked up at the Caretaker, wide with the innocent question of 'What about mine?' Zavien laughed at the exchange, nudging him on the tail end enough to insist he not give Lena the puppy-dog eyes all day. The dragon huffed loudly and made his way to Mittens, hoping the fellow companion might side with him, maybe find a way to finagle more treats.
Meanwhile, the adults looked eerily similar to a pair of children who'd thought to dig up their backyard looking for treasure. Grinning boyishly, he held his dirty hands up to hers. "Good thing we match this time." No need to 'share' the mess.
He took a moment to lean against the shovel, admiring her bright smile and sharing in her excitement. Zavien gave her an encouraging look as he said, "I can promise you at least two students." Even if Koa wasn't enthusiastic about attending, Zavien would find a way to drag the man to the class. And if his girlfriend was teaching a class, every Dragoon would be convinced through one method or another. He'd do everything in his power to ensure that she had a full and attentive class.
But that didn't mean he'd promise to take notes. He flashed her a wink and a smile before turning back to the forming grids. "Never." Knowing full well that she wasn't one to let him wallow in weakness or self-pity, Zavien felt all the more grateful for her. Maybe if he'd had more people like her growing up, he'd have flourished in school despite his difficulties. But then again, maybe he wouldn't have become the strong Dragoon he was now, with a dragon companion, an amazing girlfriend, and a litany of holes to dig before him.

Tis better to have loved and lost,
than never to have loved at all.
