Zavien
While Soh was busy diverting Nova's efforts to touch her pregnant belly, Zavien made his way safely to the ground. Similar to Anani, Sol had positioned himself at Soh's side, looking diligently between the two women for any signs of distress within the loud colors and noises. His excitement stood unacknowledged by the young Hybrid, and his tail wagged hesitantly behind him, wondering if she'd pet him.
The elevated volume of Nova's introduction to their unborn daughter drew Zavien's eyebrows into his hairline, offering Soh a bewildered look. He didn't know if babies could hear much on the outside, but he supposed he hadn't thought it necessary to tell them who he was. The fact that Nova's first thought was just that made his mouth quirk up at the edge.
He stayed silent as the colorful woman gushed over the upcoming party in New Haven. Part of him was sad to miss whatever chaos she managed to create, reminding himself again that this move was the right decision despite whatever they'd left behind in King's End.
At mention of the necklaces, Zavien nodded his head, reaching around his neck to remove his for the first time since Soh had given it to him. He offered the gold pendant out for Nova to see, feeling the heartbeat against the palm of his hand. "That's right. If possible, I'd like to be able to tell if she's in danger." His eyes flickered to Soh, a mix of worry and adoration in his eyes.

Keep your face to the sunshine,
And you cannot see a shadow.
