Zavien
spread love everywhere you go.
Fidgeting with the few remaining cashews still in his hands, Zavien tried not to let the nerves or apprehensions change his mind. He wouldn't have considered attempting the test without Lena present, but it was nice to hear her support, and he nodded his head as the plans began to fall into place. "I was thinking tomorrow, after I visit the shrine. No use delaying it." It would only increase the fear, and he wasn't sure what else he might be able to do before returning, to make the process any easier.
Despite her echoed words, he wished she would be more selfish, to set aside whatever was making her tiptoe around the subject and just tell him how she felt about it all. He almost considered asking her, opening that door of communication so he might better understand what was going through her mind as she looked up into the stars instead of into his eyes as she said the words.
But then she was diverting to the only topic he really didn't want to talk about surrounding his decision to try returning home, and Zavien balked at the idea of what the Family might be 'planning' in the confines of their home. "I'm not sure. I've been a little out of the loop, and it feels like people are being more cautious with their information." Although unsurprising in light of all the many ways the Family could spy on them, it made things more difficult for those without the Attuned bond to be included in such sensitive schemes.
