Alistair smiled, for all Zevran couldn't see. He even turned his head just a little - just enough to rest his chin to Zev's head for just a fleeting moment. "I'm glad you trust me. I just want to stay worth it."

Then, with another light squeeze, he murmured, "Try to get some sleep here, Zev. It might be easier... like this."

All told, he thought he'd be able to sleep easier this way. He couldn't - not now, not while he was on watch, but... Another time, maybe.
