Deeds will not be less valiant
because they are unpraised.

Distance from Stormbreak had helped some things and harmed others. On one hand, Zavien didn't feel a constant debilitating fear seizing his spine at every moment. On the other hand, his heart ached for what he'd left behind. It was hard to tell whether it was worth it or not, but he kept assuring himself that it was temporary. He would be back home with Lena before her knew it. He just had to get stronger, to work through whatever this was.
When he'd received Aly's letter, he'd been relieved to know that she was at such a point in her own healing journey. Although the unmentioned 'request' squeezed at his chest. All of his own in-person conversations recently had been bad and worse news, making him immediately suspicious of what she may have to say. Once they'd gathered their supplies and entered the woods, his eyes narrowed, and he ran a hand through his hair. "Now you have me worried. Is everything okay?" Was she okay? They hadn't seen each other since the Feast, and even then, they hadn't spoken much. It made him wonder if Tal hadn't been completely honest about her progress after losing Sascha. Sol seemed equally interested in the conversation, sitting at Zavien's feet with a curious tilt of his head that paused his frequent scanning for danger.
