Zavien
Never regret anything that made you smile
Soh was much better at casting aside her fears than he was, refusing to let them dampen her joy - and gods was that a beautiful thing to witness. Not a trace of worry remained in the brightness of her smile or the airy quality of her laughter. 'Us.' The word coiled around them, solidifying something that had thus far been wavering and uncertain into a fragile bond. He would do what he could to protect this, to protect the budding emotions between them, to protect that smile and the woman behind it.
Despite how his own fears still lingered in the back of his mind, her excitement was infectious. A small smile cracked through the tension he willed to fade, warm and indulgent if not slightly uncertain. He looked into her eyes, similarly unclear on how to proceed on this new ground, but willing to let her decide as his hand ran naturally down her back. "I don't know. What do you want to do?" Was there something they needed to do now? He knew Koa would have to be told at some point, but that didn't seem like a good idea to bring up, particularly when he couldn't do it at this moment. But should they talk more? Go on a date? Celebrate? Zavien figured Soh deserved to choose after the maelstrom of emotions he'd dragged her through.
