Zavien
Their laughter mixed together, the coincidences continuing to baffled him. "I think mine started with Boreal too." Zavien's smile softened at the thought of Tal, wondering what his friend would think about this new development. Once he'd talked to Koa and straightened things out, he imagined there would be plenty of people to tell. Anxiety fluttered alongside excitement as he glanced between Soh and the cat, planning to cross that bridge when they got there. It wasn't like they were in a rush.
Pulling out a piece of his own jerky, he added it to the cat's growing pile. "It's come in handy more times than I can count." For companions and monsters alike.
Although he hadn't no idea what kind of monster a 'capybara' was. If it was a leading part in a ghost story, he figured it must be pretty terrifying, but he shook his head. "No idea. Probably some kind of scary horse?" Why would Safrin be riding it otherwise?
Suddenly, Soh was shrinking, drawing herself in and bundling the blanket tighter. Her words wiped any humor from his face, sadness giving everything a familiar weightedness that he moved slowly through. He sat close to her, wrapping his arms around her blanketed shoulders where she could rest against him if she wanted. "I'm sorry, Soh," he said softly, allowing a quiet moment in honor of the fallen companion. Knowing that nothing he said would change her loss, Zavien let his presence be the comfort, a safe space for her to share or grieve as she needed.

I love you with everything I am,
everything I've been,
and everything I hope to be.
everything I've been,
and everything I hope to be.
