safrin
The starlight does not merely brighten so much as gather, each silver thread thickening in the air until the darkness around the altar seems to remember what it is to adore her. Light blooms in slow, impossible layers, spilling softly at first before unfurling in a radiant swell that shapes itself into Safrin, all gleaming grace and celestial splendour, while the scent of lavender from Zavien’s offering deepens at once into something almost unbearably decadent, lush enough to feel like it could be tasted. Her smile first belongs to Sol, warm and indulgent as it settles upon the dragon, before her gaze lifts to Zavien and turns positively luminous.
"Mm, of course," she says, her voice rich with velvet amusement, as if the answer had always been written somewhere among her stars. "Motherhood is sure to look good on her, just as fatherhood will look good on you." Reaching down, Safrin plucks one of the star-shaped cookies from the plate with elegant ease, considering it for a moment before glancing toward the sword at Zavien's side, her expression shifting into something thoughtful and knowing.
"You’ll find, with a new baby, that your role as protector might look a little different," she says, the slightest smile curving her mouth as though the truth of that already delights her, "but a sword is never a bad place to start."
Zavien has been given a quest! In order to upgrade his sword, he must:
1. Complete 2 training threads. One where someone else uses his sword against him and burns him with it, and one where he burns someone.
2. Complete a thread using the sword against a Flora/Fauna with a difficulty rating higher than Difficult. (He does not need to kill the F/F or finish the fight)
3. Complete a thread considering the limits of what he would/wouldn't do to protect his new family.
