[ Sheer exhaustion means Rezo can't help but slip into a state of semi-unconsciousness from the moment he settles into a chair, though a number of factors keep him from proper, full sleep. His upright position, his restless mind, the disturbed breathing of others in the inn...
Two hours pass slowly and yet all too quickly, with Rezo drifting in and out of dreams, unsure of what's real and what's just his mind playing random chords in the quiet.
At some point, he dreams that Zelgadis comes over to sit beside him. The two of them sit together in silence for a while as thoughts drift in and out of Rezo's head. And then, he hears Zelgadis's voice. ]
Mh.
[ Rezo lifts a heavy hand and scrubs at his face with the heel of his palm, trying to massage some measure of wakefulness back into himself. ]
Zelgadis?
[ He belatedly realizes this isn't a dream, Zelgadis really is seated on the floor beside his chair. It's a remarkably childlike position, and not something the prideful Zelgadis would normally take. At least, not around Rezo.
...Which means something is wrong. Concern stirs, blooming alertness within Rezo. ]

Why are you down there? Is it the curse?
