Zavien
The voice is quiet with a confident strength that reminded Zavien of a wizened ruler who had seen many battles. It straightened his spine, awe and respect radiating from him as he took in the god's steady demeanor. Part of him questioned whether he had intruded on some calm introspection, missing the figure as he'd entered the shrine - but there was no possibility he could have missed such a powerful presence.
When he finally turned, Zavien was not expecting the weight of the words that settled over him. They made him feel embarrassed and proud at the same time, reminding him of his own mistakes while encouraging him of his progress thus far. "Thank you, Vi. I - That means a lot coming from you." His head dipped low, committing the words to memory so he might find strength in them later.
Vi's approach had him straightening again, feeling the hope swell in his chest alongside the soldierly instincts in the light of impending battles. "Some of my friends, leaders I trust, are making efforts to weaken Starfall - to stop whatever horrors may be brewing there. If I can't assist them physically, I would hope to give them the tools necessary to ensure their success." Succinct and detailed, a practiced report to a commanding officer. Determination flared in his eyes as he added quietly, "There are too many people suffering. I don't want to hide if there's something I can do to change that." Even if Stormbreak was not a possibility for the moment, he hoped helping the rest of Caido might give him a chance to one day free them of the Family's influence.

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
And you cannot see a shadow.
