You can’t stop the change,
any more than you can stop the suns from setting.
The pat on his shoulder brought out another soft chuckle, feeling more than a little coddled. At least Lena didn't look embarrassed that her boyfriend had failed so spectacularly, the gentle taps of her staff healing the reddened scrape on his forehead and soothing the bruises along with the bit on his pride. He felt like it was enough for the moment, lowering the staff to sit between them as he placed a grateful kiss on her cheek, a grin on his lips as he thought of the very exclusive club he'd just joined. "No, I guess not."
Before he could answer her question on food, Ronin was approaching. Zavien grinned at the reiteration of his supposedly 'good enough performance considering he never stood a chance.' "I'm just glad you went easy on me." And again, didn't decide to drop him from a dizzying height.
Chuckling along with the demigod, he shook his head. "I won't turn down a drink - even if it's completely unnecessary - but there's no need to avoid the topic. I have no issues laughing at myself, and it was all in good fun." For the people, for the entertainment, for the lulz.
Still, he raised his hands in a motion of mock surrender, the smile on his face brighter than before. "Although, if it's all the same to you, I'd prefer not to go another round."
