Zavien
Smiling gratefully at the congratulations, he tried again to wrap his head around the idea that it had been a year since they'd started dating. He still felt giddy around her, like it was only yesterday, making it all the more heart stopping to think that they'd be at an inn together. "I guess it's not so much the 'date,' but the fact that we're going on a trip to the Grounds... and we'll be staying in a room together..."
Zavien cleared his throat around the embarrassment. "I don't know if anything will happen, but I -" Blushing deeper, he looked out over the landscape, suddenly very fascinated by the piles of snow as he muttered softly, "I'd like it to." Contrary to what people might think, it was all for various pure-hearted reasons, the main of which being that he loved Lena and wanted her to know that in every manner possible.
At the comment about 'communication,' his head came down in a nod, remembering what Thorn had said over and over and over again. Shrugging his shoulders, he explained, "That's what my friend said too. I just can't believe it's going to be that simple." Like talking was going to make him any better at it. He laughed, running a hand through his hair as they walked, starting to get the idea that it was inevitable.
