Zavien
He fell silent as they stepped into the clearing, speechless at its beauty in a way that left his mouth slightly agape. It always amazed him to see the different corners and features of the Celestine, and he quickly decided that this would be one of his new favorite spots. Although he might not be able to name a single plant (sorry Lena), their vibrant shades spoke of a life bursting through every cell. They leaned and whispered to each other in the light breeze that cooled the lingering heat of the day, as if they shared the secrets to happiness and the cure for heartache. Small lights shone in the twilight, beacons of peace and safety despite the city they resided in.
Zavien let out a soft laugh at Lena's question, still trying to take it all in. "I think..." Glancing down at her, his smile was the soft light of morning peeking through drawn curtains, full of hope and more sunlight to come. "You undersold it." He leaned down to place a gentle kiss on her cheek before releasing her.
While Lena worked on setting out the blanket, Zavien took both their baskets, setting them out and beginning to rummage through for the various food stuffs. "It wasn't too bad, not like the Feverlands - or Halo." He added the last part a little reluctantly but continued with a shrug of his shoulders. "Maybe it was just awkward because I ran into Maea... and without Sol there, it was a little hard to stay focused." An understatement, but true, nonetheless.
Once she'd fixed the blanket to her liking, he gestured for her to take a seat, following her "But we killed the Voidquicksand moss and burned away the purple flowers in the hedges of Queen's Gambit, so things worked out in the end." And as she'd said, the Rose was a positive.

The real tragedy is men
who are afraid of the light
who are afraid of the light
