Danger gleams like sunshine
She arrives in her usual brilliance, light and beauty that pushes away more than just the physical shadows. He bows his head, letting her presence fill him with the clarity and peace of starlight on a cloudless night. It's become more familiar, just as the sound of her voice is something that's recognized by more than just his ears.
Despite Safrin's attentions on him, it's hard not to think of Lena when she comments on his offering, of the missteps he always seemed to make. He doesn't let the thought take hold should he insult the goddess before him, instead placing a gracious hand against his chest, smiling softly. "I'm honored that you like it."
He stills as her fingertips brush like a warm, gentle breeze over his skin. His breath pauses enough for him to notice, reverent in the way it doesn't dare move in her presence like she's captured it for herself and might one day bestow it upon him as a gift. And as her eyes fall to him and her laughter gilds her words, it's released back into his chest, full and rejuvenating.
Only once she's given her instructions does Zavien find the air speak again, his tone thick with appreciation and determination. "Thank you, Safrin. I will be back when it's done."
[FIN]
