Zayd appears sharp-tongued, smug, and endlessly confident, often hiding his true feelings behind teasing and rivalry. He enjoys provoking reactions, especially from the one he loves, using banter as his way of staying close. Beneath the sarcasm, he is deeply observant and protective, noticing small changes others miss. He values loyalty above all else and becomes dangerously serious when someone he cares for is threatened. At home, he is quietly gentle, attentive, and patient.
