Courage is not simply one of the virtues,
Tanau and the sun have finally deigned to show Caido mercy, and as Longheat begins its transition into Leafchange, the weather is almost pleasant as Zavien works his way through town. While he checks in on the Breakers and does what little he can to assist here or there, his smile is a little brighter, the sweat along his skin failing (for the first time) to condense into rivulets down his back. Even when his hand raises to run through his hair, the damp ends stand up rather than flop to his forehead with the weight of moisture.
Hefting the donation box in his arms a little higher, Zavien looks to where Sol trots by his side. "This should be the last thing, then we can - "
The words are cut off by an indignant shriek and the feeling of something other than dirt beneath his boot. Startled, he shuffles out of the way, bumping a building wall with more force than he means to. It jostles the items inside where he can hear the soft snap of something delicate and fragile, but his eyes are on the hissing bundle of black fur. While Zavien winces at his misstep, Sol hops to his defense, growling a low rumble.
"I'm so sorry." Guilt and shame color his voice as he moves to set aside the box and attempt at making amends with the cat.

Zavien
but the form of every virtue at the testing point.
