[ Rezo hears Zelgadis's breathing even out, and feels himself relax in response. He lets his fingertips linger on Zelgadis's cheek for a few moments longer before withdrawing them, satisfied that nothing is seriously amiss.
When Zelgadis was quite small, Rezo would sometimes sing to him at bedtime, or tell him a story- which would often turn into several stories as Zelgadis stubbornly insisted on staying awake for "just one more"- but right now, it seems better to just give him a quiet: ]
Rest well.
[ That, however, leaves Rezo with little to do. Zelgadis needs his rest. They both need to recuperate. So what should Rezo do in the mean time?
The answer to that Zelgadis will easily be able to discern once he's on his feet, as long as he looks to his side and slightly down.
Because Rezo is now sitting in the arm chair and he is much more heavily conked out than he was earlier. His head is at an angle leaning against the back of the chair and is mouth is partly agape, undermining his usual dignity significantly. At least he isn't snoring. Breathing doesn't count as snoring.
But he is very much in the depths of an old man nap. Zzz. ]
