Zavien
I'm going to change the world,
"I never visited them when they were still in the Fangs. It wasn't worth the hike." Zavien chuckled before it melted into a groan, his body feeling like it was releasing months of tension all at once. In all honesty, it probably was. Even after Sol's return, he'd used the stabilization of his emotions as an opportunity to strengthen himself, asking for a quest and traveling out to Halo. He hadn't really relaxed since his death, nightmares and shadows clinging to every moment while schemes and plots began to take hold again.
Now, other than the nasty scar that ran across his flank, Zavien felt like everything else washed away in the heat of the water. Leaning back against the side, his mouth hung open in a deep breath of relief, the exhale taking more than just air with it as he closed his eyes. He answered in a soft sigh, "A few more trainings for my quest. One where I try to stay five feet away, and another where I have to stay as still as possible. Should be fun." He didn't mention his plans to visit the Tundra, not wanting to worry Tal with thoughts of Zavien torturing himself with horrid memories and not wanting to think about it at the moment, not when he was enjoying the moment too much.
Instead, he turned to the courier, his expression gentle and caring with a hint of regret for his failings as a friend. "But how have you been? I feel like we haven't really talked recently."
