When no one is around, my dear
You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes

They really were quite similar, in more ways than Soh had realized. Maybe that was what made it so easy to fall into a rhythm with Zavien, to talk to him and share what might have been uncomfortable with anyone else. Maybe that was why she had fallen so eagerly into his bed, why she hadn’t hesitated the way good sense might have suggested she should. He was just so understanding, and genuine, and kind-hearted - he gave and gave of himself, expecting nothing in return. Soh thought back to a recent conversation with Flora, in which her friend had told her she was just so good. She thought maybe she understood what Flora had meant now, only not in relation to herself. If anyone was good, she thought, it was Zavien.
Soon they were both smiling and laughing, and for a brief moment, it was easy to forget the tumultuous conversation of this morning in favor of leaning into the here and now. The toast was, unfortunately, unsalvageable, but at least there were eggs and jerky and -
”Oh.” Soh looked at the cheese on the counter. It had a faint greenish hue that made her nervous. ”You know what, I actually prefer my eggs without,” she said diplomatically, making a mental note to take Zavien shopping for groceries later. If there was a later.
Turning to the nearby cupboards, she opened one or two until she found plates, then scooped a healthy serving of eggs onto each of the two she’d taken down. Hoping that Zavien would take the hint and find them silverware, Soh then added some jerky onto each plate. Anani stirred from her spot in the sun, stretching luxuriously before floating quietly over to land on Soh’s shoulders. Laughing, Soh snuck the little cloud wyrm a bite of jerky, then looked around to share some with Sol, if he wanted.
”So, are you an eat-at-the-table or eat-on-the-couch kind of person?” Soh asked, turning to Zavien with a raised brow. ”Because it doesn’t matter to me, so long as you’re comfortable.”
