Zavien
Grateful that Thorn doesn't look offended in the slightest, Zavien relaxes along with the courtesan, settling in his seat with the look of a diligent blushing student. He's more attentive than he ever was in class, leaning forward to listen closely for what might be said. It starts off making sense, but Thorn quickly loses him.
His eyes widen of their own accord, not sure what to make of having hands around his throat or Lena's, and even less sure of whether that would be something enjoyable. Hands in hair he can understand. That's something he does naturally when they kiss, not rough but gentle and caressing just behind her ear or the nape of her neck like a guiding touch. But the throat?
Zavien furrows his brows, adorable naivety and confusion on his face. "Is that something a lot of people like? Isn't that..." he paused as he thought of the word, the way it felt more like a fight than love, "aggressive?" It didn't really fit with his own rose-tinted views of sex and the exchange of soft affections he associates with it, but that didn't mean Lena would think the same - even if that would shock him more than being struck by lightning.
