that distant shore || meeting 9/1

[lavi s.]

The jedi had gone quiet in the recent days.  Primarily for the reason of tending to Tena.  Or rather, withholding Tena from pushing herself.  When his fiery friend approached the gathering, the mountain cat followed.  Lavi felt uneasy, though he failed to place exactly why as he took a seat besides his friend, listening to the assembly in thoughtful silence.

Truthfully, Lavi failed to stop his brows raising.  Part of him had expected Tena to take the reigns back from Rin eventually.  He had been there when Rin took over and had not particularly approved of such dramatic action against a 'curse' she didn't even tell Tena about before hand.  His friend may be young and reckless, but she hadn't been doing a horrible job.

He understood however, that lately Tena had been struggling.  The events that left her with the permanent injures across her face had also left her quieter.  He understood, though he missed the way she had been.  While he may often sigh and murmur warnings against her more reckless antics, part of what Lavi adored in Tena was her determination.

Even though Hani and Alani were new to him, to Elysium, he decided if Tena felt inclined to give them a chance to prove themselves as Magna- or Astral Seraph, then he would stand by her.  Besides, it did sound like they put a lot of thought into taking this step.

From how Atbash and the pair interacted, the jedi felt uncertain.  The way they spoke together made him uneasy, but he could say that was simply a matter of being unaccostumed to it.  When the savannah moved away, the mountain cat did not blame her.

"We don't need to resort to anything dramatic," he offered kindly in an attempt to calm the departing feline.  "We should take the time to give each other a chance.  All of us.  Elysium's supposed to be a community, after all."  A founding principle he enjoyed, from even during the Sunhaven days.

"My name's Lavi, by the way."  A hasty, although polite addition as the Jedi stood, brows furrowed in concern.  He did not want to see someone say goodbye to a home if a peaceful resolution could be made.
