A grin spread across his face, finally breaking fully. He liked the sound of that. Limitless. He just didn't know if it was possible, didn't know how his heart could handle any more than it was already holding. There was the smallest inkling of fear, remembering the last time he was in love, how losing it had felt like losing part of himself. If this feeling only grew... Zavien didn't know if he'd recover from that kind of loss.
But he pushed aside the fear, smiling at Soh as she snuggled back onto his chest where she belonged, close to his heart. She eased back into their previous conversation without hesitation, having aired out the emotions surrounding it. "I hate having you so far." Zavien stroked her arm, curious as he asked, "Does that mean you want to move to King's End?" He did his best not to sound too excited, to influence her decision when this was supposed to be about her finding freedom and independence.
