Zavien
The Risen Sun
"No more than 'Queen.'" He grins, wondering if she planned to leave any titles for the rest of them, although, after the performance between her and Sol, he's convinced she deserves them. The dragon plummets to the ground in a fluttering of golden wings, the dust pluming around him in a flare of collapse. Flora's words elicit a keening cry, a 'Remember me when I'm gone.'
"I didn't realize I was signing up to be an actor in a play." The roll of his eyes is pure affection. The laughter that follows is too bright to be annoyed, and he might have joined in if the second dragon wasn't blasting cold air at his face, stealing his attentions for a moment before the drama is coming to a close.
Zavien accepts the nudge, lowering his staff to lean against it as he turns to meet her gaze with a playful smirk. "I guess it's a good thing we're going to be working together." Whether it's icy fans or fighting monsters, he gets the feeling they'll be a good team regardless. Sensing that the curtains have closed on his performance, Sol flops back onto his belly, chirping to Spice so they can discuss their unfortunate loss and what tactics they might employ next time.
Meanwhile, Zavien tilts his head, offering a small grimacing smile when he's forced to ruin the mood by bringing up an uncomfortable topic. "Although... you might want to be careful. I don't know if Kai mentioned our conversation the other day, but," he pauses, running a hand through his hair as he shrugs his shoulders, "it didn't exactly go well." To say 'he threatened my girlfriend and tried to get me to lie to my best friend' seems a little harsh, but he'd hate for her to be unaware of things that may affect her region, and he gets the feeling leaders less understanding wouldn't have appreciated such a broach of someone who had previously been speaking on her behalf.
Sol trots up, searching for treats as Zavien tries to brighten his smile in hopes of being more 'supportive' of the relationship. "I just know you two are dating now, and I'd hate for him to say or do something that might have larger consequences than interrupting a sauna." The laugh he gives is soft and light, disguising the weight that had affected the conversation or what catastrophes might have otherwise fallen, all while he rummages through his pockets to offer the dragons a few pieces of dried jerky.
