Sol returning was another missing piece of the puzzle, and as he began his animated storytelling display, Lena watched in earnest, laughing and grinning in all the right parts. By the end she was clapping for his tales, granting him all the attention he’d earned and deserved. “What a time you had. Thank you for protecting the little one out there,” presuming, through all the fantastical swells of ventures, the griffin had made it safely into its natural terrain.
The plea within Zavien’s voice didn’t go unnoticed – nor, did she figure that Sol would forget it. Opting for lightness amidst the reunion and renewal, she nodded, on a solemn pretense alone. “Mm. He was quite a sight,” and she winked to both, before they all turned back to their picnics and food stashes. Mittens grumbled ahead, either not excited to see the dragon or really too stoic to allow any other emotions upon its snowball face.
Taking Zavien’s hand in hers, she leaned a little on his shoulder, glancing upwards with a smile to spy any changes on his face. “You okay?” It might’ve been overwhelming, to have the bond suddenly snapped right back into place – or exactly what he needed, given everything else.
