Zavien
The Risen Sun
Her indignation sparks more laughter, his hands raising and head shaking like he refuses to let the accusations take hold. After all, he's grown up around enough women to know a trap when he hears one. "That sounds like a trick question." His eyes are bright, watching her infectious energy seep closer with every bouncing step. Letting his hands fall, his smile teases knowingly. "Because I wouldn't have asked you here if I didn't like you."
The daggers are disappearing, the dragons crooning their agreement. Zavien feels the slight chill of certainty from her words, grateful that Sol won't be facing down the seemingly inconspicuous yet deadly weapons and more than a little intimidated by the Queen's beaming confidence. His smile doesn't dim, but there's a relief that they're on the same team when he nods his head. "Good to know."
He walks to the edge of the ring, an armory of wooden and padded practice weapons organized in their racks. "Oh definitely. We've got some wooden daggers, but they won't fly nearly as well as those. They're usually for close combat practice." Zavien grabs a few of the small wooden knives that look like kid toys, raising them for Flora to inspect if she choses. Meanwhile, he indicates to the other portions of equipment when he adds, "We also have staffs, practice swords, and even wooden arrows if you're feeling adventurous. Up to you."
