All I know is this could either break my heart or bring it back to life
As expected, Zavien was unwilling or unable to forgive himself for Lena's loss - and Soh couldn't blame him. If she were in his position, she was sure she would feel the exact same way, no matter how illogical it was. "I know," she said simply, soothingly. "And I'm so sorry." She would never have wished that kind of pain on him. Even if it had meant that he'd be with Lena now instead of her, Soh could have borne that if it meant Zavien would never have had to feel so guilty and so helpless.
Her suggestions landed, and she breathed deeply with relief as Zavien began to calm from the panic he'd been in. "Don't be sorry," she murmured. "Just know we're going to do whatever we have to so that you never have to go through that again. I'm not leaving you," she added fiercely. "I'm right here, and nothing is going to change that."
She thought for a moment, still stroking his cheeks with her thumbs. "What else can I do?" she asked tentatively. She wasn't sure how best to support him through this, until they could procure something that would make him feel better. "Would... would it make you feel better for me to stay with you until we can talk to the Gilded Market or Safrin?" She searched his gaze, unsure if that was something he would want. He loved her, but maybe he'd still want space. But she would do anything if it meant helping him through this, anything if it meant he wasn't terrified every time she left his arms.
