Zavien
He couldn't express how much he admired Soh in that moment. He knew how much strength it took to push through, felt the effort firsthand as he shoved the crippling emotions lower to focus on the needs of others. There were no doubts that it would catch them off guard later, cutting their legs out from under them when they least expected it.
For now, they both came to the same conclusion, putting the Breakers first above every connection they had with the physical place they'd called home all their lives. Zavien latched onto the purpose, nodding along with her list of next steps, a soldier stepping onto the battlefield. His spine straightened, a stoic breath entering his lungs, his tone solidifying into something calm and confident. "I already have a meeting scheduled with Flora tomorrow. I can ask her then." He ignored the lingering tremor in his hand, vaguely aware that Sol had come to lean against his leg.
"Maybe I can speak with Sunjata, if you want to focus on getting notices up and reaching out to the Hollowed Grounds." The thoughts raced, finally finding direction in the chaos. "We'll have to organize extra skyships and transport as well. We can't overwhelm the ports and risk people getting stuck..." Listing through a few other priorities, Zavien eventually ran out of ideas, a gap forming in the ironclad focus as he looked to Soh, allowing a moment of quiet hope. "We'll get through this." Whether he said the words for her or him didn't matter. He knew deep in his soul that they would find a way to help the people with this tragic transition.

A flower cannot blossom without sunshine,
and man cannot live without love.
and man cannot live without love.
