Zavien
Happiness is a choice that requires effort at times
His smile was gentle - patient - despite the anxiety building in his chest, the feeling that he was standing on a precipice of unimaginable heights, one that would shift his entire life. It gave him a mixture of nausea and excitement that made him conscious of every breath and heartbeat.
When Soh's eyes watered and an expression of acceptance seemed to pass with her nod, Zavien knew what was coming. He didn't take pleasure in it - in fact, he was fairly certain dread seized his chest for a second - but he gave her an encouraging smile, not wanting her to regret this moment or the faith she was putting in him. "Then I will do everything in my power to make it a decision you can be proud of - that you're happy you made."
Willing the mood to brighten, Zavien strengthened the smile on his face, an optimistic glint in his gaze. "I hope you'll still be part of the council. You're an integral part of Stormbreak and it's leadership, even if you're not acting as the leader. After all, I haven't exactly done this before." And he expected to make many mistakes.
