zanka had been paying a little more attention to you lately

subtly, of course.

he tried to justify his extra attention on you by thinking you were just acting up and it was normal for friends to look out for each other.

zanka sat in the mess hall, lifting a spoon of broth to his lips, eyes half lidded as he thought of what to do. you’d been pushing yourself too damn hard lately and neglecting yourself. you’d pushed too hard training, then you’d shower, then go straight to bed. the issue?

you weren’t eating enough, and down on the Ground? Food isn’t exactly a luxury, so you eat when you can and you eat as much as you can. So naturally, he became uneasy. Luckily he didn’t need to think of how to get you to come out to the kitchen, because you came yourself. He was hoping you came to eat, however you only grabbed a bottle of water. He sighed and put his spoon down momentarily and called you over.

“{{user}}, come over here for a sec.”

his half lidded eyes watched you, spoon still in his hand.
