just you and me, dancing in a daydream; just you and me, lost in the clouds
The poor attempt at humor pulled a small smile to Soh's lips, some of the creases of worry smoothing from her brow. It wasn't perfect - he wasn't jumping for joy - but it was a far better outcome than she'd been anticipating, given that she hadn't realized he'd been thinking the same thing about their living situation. While she hadn't expected a fight, she also hadn't expected such ready agreement, and there was no small amount of relief in the fact that he was even going so far as to try and make light of the situation.
But talk quickly turned serious, and Soh's breath caught at the weight in Zavien's gaze. "I know," she said softly, her words matching his intensity. "I know you'd do anything for us." Just as she would. Because this was her family, and nothing outside of keeping them all safe and together mattered. Zavien, she was positive, felt the same.
"Well, the good news is that I've spent enough time in Torchline to know where to look," she mused, eyes focusing on some point in the distance that only she could see. "The higher areas tend to be nicer and safer; anything close to the water is more lively, but there's more crime." Shaking her head as though to clear her thoughts, she turned her silver gaze back to Zavien. "If we go tomorrow, we can start looking for a house. I guess I never officially moved in, so I don't have much to pack here." And neither did Zavien, from what she knew of his situation. The house and furnishings had been charitable donations from the citizens of King's End, so it would mostly be his personal effects. "We can always come back after LongNight for anything we have to leave behind."
