-Zavien-
A single snowflake made it into Sol's nostril, causing him to jerk back in surprise with following puffs of smokey sneezes. He shook out his golden head and looked around to see the snow having melted in his bursts of heat. Shocked, he let out a grumble of alarm, looking to Boreal with confusion and desperation. The little dragon didn't seem to grasp that the fellow fire breather wouldn't be much help in restoring the patch of ice.
Meanwhile, Zavien felt confident that the apples were probably done, hooking them on his stick to pull them from the flames. Trying not to burn his hands, he chuckled at Tal's own experiences with 'the best wingman in Caido.' "That doesn't surprise me." Koa's popularity with women seemed to extend to those in his proximity just by association. Too bad the poor guy had such bad luck himself. He winced at both the thought and the hot package that brushed against his callused skin. "Maybe we can repay the favor one day. Let me know if you find any nice girls we could introduce him to." Grinning, he gave his friend a wink, hoping they might just have a chance if they worked together.
At the following question, Zavien raised his eyebrows and set aside the crispy apples to cool. "Hm? Oh, no. That one was maybe our third? Our first was a restaurant in the Hollowed Grounds." His smile was soft as he remembered the night filled with magical lights and comfortable conversation. They still needed to go back and see the Atheneum at some point. But for now, he looked back to Tal, his smile turning sheepish. "I would have told you while we were there, but we were a little distracted with the whole 'murder' plot." And it had been so new that he'd been reluctant to tell people, not quite believing it himself. Now, he seemed to be telling anyone who would listen.
