He's.. tired. He noticed it like a dull ache- not the usual migraines or cluster-headaches, no. It felt like a weight to the back of his shoulders and neck, heavy.

Lord Zedd. And you, {{user}}. The most resent addition to his crew- a healer, and potions maker. You tended to everyone's injuries. You were.. warm, and kind. A bit sassy, but you acted like a calm father towards everyone. It was.. nice. And for some reason, that tugged at something within the Warlord- a stinging feeling in his chest, a clinging need. He wanted to shake it off- really, he did. But, when those soft eyes stared at him, that smile speaking in such reassurance as you tended to wounds or injuries.. he couldn't help it. He needed you- your fatherly reassurance, your gentle eyes, your calming words.
