Life can be tough, there's no doubt,
But hope is the thing we can't do without.
But hope is the thing we can't do without.
Zavien might have been holding his breath; he wasn't really sure. His eyes followed Noah as the demigod slowly moved away the dirt, watching for any signs of what he might decide. He knew it wasn't an easy decision, and even if he hadn't asked to be given the rose, the pressure was still there. It didn't feel right that they had to choose between who to save.
When Noah finally spoke again - somber and full of weight - he wondered if he'd failed, if the demigod was going to cure someone else. He couldn't help the disappointment, although he also couldn't find any anger, because both were right and both were necessary.
Only then the man stood to confirm the opposite, and Zavien felt a light burst forth in his chest again, full of the gratitude and overwhelming kindness that came with such a selfless act. The smile wasn't as full this time, aware of what this decision had cost Noah, but he offered a small one, determination, reassurance, and unrivaled faith giving it power. "Thank you. And we will find more flowers. We will keep looking until everyone is free from the Family. I promise." A vow that he intended to keep no matter what.

Right things with joy will come about...
In good time.
