[ For a second there, just as Rezo moves to stand, Zel thinks he spots the shimmer of tears behind Rezo's lashes.
Resting his head against the arm of the chair beside him, he questions if it was his imagination as he slips into a surprisingly deep sleep.
The sounds of the inn filter into his subconscious, shaping the form of his dreams. Before long, he is dreaming that he too is a patient trapped in a bed, where the curse gnaws away at him from the inside. He knows when it's done with him it'll have hollowed him out. When there's nothing left, it will make no difference if he's human or not.
He is trying to implore Rezo for help, but his mouth won't obey his brain and his words come out all wrong, their meaning inverted. The dream-Rezo does not understand.
The scene shifts. Rezo turns his back to Zelgadis. His robes flutter behind him as he walks away, and Zel is powerless to follow. All the willpower in the world can't force him to rise from this bed.
Ruby eyes glint back at him from the dark.
Sill asleep, Zelgadis mutters to himself, brow furrowed deep. ]
