[ Rezo resumes work in something of a haze. He succeeds in not breaking down in between resurrections, but he does have to discreetly swipe at his eyes every now and then and his thoughts are never far from the young man sleeping by the fireplace. He still isn't entirely sure what Zelgadis hopes for from Rezo, besides for Rezo to care about him even if he doesn't need Rezo to take care of him.
But maybe, when things have settled down a bit, he can just ask. Isn't that something?
Between the two of them they've made enough progress that all the patients in the inn have been treated before the two hours are up. If he wants to be thorough, Rezo could start visiting the other buildings in the village to look for other patients in a critical state. But wandering off on his own like that seems like it could end poorly, and he wants to stay near Zelgadis to keep an eye on his condition.
So Rezo leaves the final inn patient where they're lying and trudges back to his grandson.
He catches the sound of muttering and thinks for a moment that Zelgadis must still be awake. But- no, that doesn't sound very lucid, is he sleeptalking? He sounds almost anxious about something.
Rezo kneels and listens to the sound of Zelgadis's breathing before he gingerly touches him, wary of waking Zelgadis unnecessarily. ]
Settle down. Everything is fine.
[ Minus the mazoku feeding on the town's suffering and the numerous cursed individuals rotting away, including Zelgadis. But there really isn't a pressing emergency at the moment. Zelgadis can rest a little longer, surely. ]
