[ Rezo's chest tightens as Zelgadis speaks and he continues to frown. ]

We don't know what the risks are. Besides the pain and the nosebleed, it could be doing other things to your body that we haven't noticed yet.

[ Rezo's not telling Zelgadis to call it quits; he isn't making any demands either. But it's hard for him to really be okay with the risk they're taking. Knowing that he's had Zelgadis take direr risks in the past doesn't help assuage the spike of tension. At the time, what other options had Rezo had?

Well. He could, hypothetically, screw over the village of Remedis instead.

But then, Rezo already asked Zelgadis about it earlier. If the effects of the curse made Zelgadis change his mind, then he could have said so.

Rezo's shoulders finally slump. ]


...Very well. I'll abide by your decision.

[ He feels wrung out, and he knows he shouldn't. If he didn't feel so tired so easily, this situation wouldn't be anywhere near as serious. But it is what it is. ]
