Zavien
It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk
that keep the darkness at bay.
The logistics of letter sending was beyond Zavien's knowledge, but he assumed there had to be a magical method that allowed people to be reached no matter where they were. Or maybe there were couriers who were really good at finding the people they were supposed to deliver to.
Whatever the case, a letter sounded like a good idea to him, something informal and lacking any sort of pressure she might feel otherwise. She could write a response or simply burn it and try to forget all about the man claiming to be her father. Obviously, Zavien would hope for their reconciliation, but it had to be on Wren's terms or it wouldn't mean anything. Still, he was cautiously optimistic, offering Liam a gentle smile. "I think she will eventually." Time would only tell.
Dipping his head, Zavien didn't draw attention to the gratitude. He hadn't said or done anything to deserve appreciation. That's what friends were for, and he liked to think of Liam as a friend. But as the man offered his support and knowledge and open ears, Zavien smiled a little deeper. "Thanks, Liam. I hope you know the same goes for you. I'm always available for anything you need, any time." He paused, debating before he added, "You're a good friend - and a good father." It might not feel like it in the moment, but he hoped Liam knew that no matter what the outcome, he'd done right by his family.
