Zavien
As she took her place in the chair, Zavien slid it in behind her, tucking her gently into the table with a quiet, "My pleasure." He didn't care how many times she said thank you, caring only that she was comfortable and at ease.
The restaurant was up-scale for a small town like New Haven, but it still had the cozy feel of someplace for locals rather than tourists. The lights were dimmed, warm conversations drifting like music through the space. Postures were relaxed and the decorations were faded beiges instead of stark whites, light golds and rich browns giving it an elegantly homey feel as Zavien sat across from Soh.
He was just noticing how the light softened her features when the server arrived to set the menus on their table. She clasped her hands delicately in front of her, the soft cadence of her voice reaching them through the quiet hum of conversation. "Would you like some wine while you look over the menu?"
Although his awareness had never left Soh, his attentive eyes were already on her again, leaving the choice in her hands as he quietly asked, "Is that alright with you?"
