Life can be tough, there's no doubt,
But hope is the thing we can't do without.

Smiling at her obvious concern for a woman she'd never met, Zavien gave a nondescript shrug of his shoulders, certain everything would work out. "She'll be fine. You'll just have extra hot cider and gingersnap cookies waiting for you." And maybe a pie or two. As if to give her a better idea of what kind of chaos might await her at the inn, he gave a sympathetic grimace and shake of his head. "Molly stress bakes."
Regardless of what abundance of fussing and goodies awaited her, Zavien wasn't about to let her suffer unnecessarily through another trek into the snow. Her reluctant expression made it all the easier to interject, his hand already moving for the door handle as he pointed out, "I think I'm more equipped to handle the weather than you are right now. I'll only be a moment." He didn't wait for her argument, didn't let her dissuade or stop him as he threw his hat back on and stepped out into the blizzard.
Zavien moved quickly, boots crunching through the icy snow as he started with the front of the car. Gloved fingers switched off lights and engine, snagging the keys before reaching to the back seat to snag a duffel that he assumed was the bag she'd referred to. He pulled it out, reaching up a hand to block another strong gust of wind, his breath misting into the air when he turned to rush back to the warmth of the car.
A small grin escaped as he got in, displaying the luggage like a prized catch he'd brought back from a difficult hunt. "I think this belongs to you." There was a glint of pride in the green of his eyes. "Anything else you need before we get going?"

Right things with joy will come about...
In good time.
In good time.
