Danger gleams like sunshine
As always, Safrin's appearance amazed him, like the molding of light into a physical form. His own smile brightened a little, lowering his head to indicate his deep appreciation for her attentions. Her words immediately warmed him as he lifted his eyes to watch her. "I wasn't sure how cold it got in the stars but thought you might like it all the same." Shrugging his shoulders at her teasing tone, a flush of embarrassment brushed against his cheeks. "And I just really liked the jelly, so I wanted to share it with you."
When she stepped closer, Zavien felt like she'd somehow glimpsed straight to his heart, to the ray of hope he slowly nourished and the monsters it now kept at bay. He smiled almost as freely as he might have months ago. "Thank you. Having a purpose in your quest helped a lot, and I didn't do it alone." His hand lingered on Sol's head as he thought about those who had listened to his story or trained with him, each method chipping away at the darkness. It certainly took a village.
Zavien lifted his green eyes to the goddess again, seeing a similar shift in her. "I'm happy to see your own radiance returning, Safrin. The world was much dimmer without it." He dipped his head in respectful reverence, genuine compassion for the goddess and her recent loss warming his words.

Zavien
to a brave man's eyes.
