Zavien
He spotted Lena first, his smile brightening like it always did when he saw the Caretaker. His gaze didn't miss the tension in her shoulders or the way she avoided looking at what remained of the Tower. She had plenty of reasons to despise the structure - as did most Breakers - but he admired her resiliency, the fact that she was willing to push it aside for the benefit of others. It was one of the many reasons he loved her, but he made a mental note to check in later, to make sure it wasn't too much.
Right now, he pulled out his hand to gently squeeze hers before Sohalia was appearing with goodies in tow. Like he'd been summoned by name, Sol was immediately trotting at her heels, a begging look in his eyes. Zavien just laughed, stepping forward to peek at the options, picking a cheese pastry of some kind. "Thanks, Soh. That was thoughtful. I think Erika was also planning to bring lunch by later so we can keep our energy up." And their spirits if the shop owner had anything to say about - and Erika always had something to say.
Looking between them and the Tower's ruins, he finally answered Lena's question, "Well, we need to clear away the trash first then the rubble then gather the new materials then - " Zavien paused in his rambling, chuckling through the pressure of work barely started and doing his best not to make it appear too daunting. "There's a lot to do, but I'm hoping we can at least get the area cleared today." To wipe the slate clean and start something new, built on hopes and aspirations.
Grab a snack then start on the garbage cleanup!

As the sea is beautiful not only in calm but also in a storm,
so is happiness found not only in peace but also in strife.
