court of storms and oceans

Zavien

"Is this actually where you work?" Zavien's mouth is practically hanging open and he knows it, but how else is he supposed to respond when it's his first time seeing the pristine white masterpiece that is the Court of Stars? The structure stands against the sea like a beacon of power and beauty, strong despite the pillars that seem too delicate to support its roof, let alone the responsibility of holding Torchline's leadership. Between the ocean at its doorstep and the towering dome above, he doesn't know where to look. Then add in the pops of greenery and he could absolutely spend all day here.

But unfortunately, he can't be away from the city too long, the preparations for cleaning and reconstructions taking up most of his time; so Zavien doesn't let his focus become encompassed in the surroundings. He runs a hand through his hair, smiling sheepishly as he glances sideways at Flora. "I'm assuming you already know why I asked to meet with you?" Kai had already implied that she'd somehow heard the news - even going so far as to offer soldiers for the efforts - but that doesn't mean Zavien wants to start his new position without meeting with each other leader in person. He just hopes the Queen isn't offended that he hadn't taken the time to come see her sooner.

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
