ZerEp and OriZan (finally got around to naming them) share a moment of close intimacy with one another.

Most would think ZerEp foolish to stay with OriZan given as, while he is respectable and a member of the elite noble class with many benefits, he is constantly alone and falls into bouts of "darkness". However, ZerEp does not let that bother him, instead choosing not to reprimand his mate for his depression, but to help and support him through it. Even when there are moments one would easily just give up in helping altogether, ZerEp refuses to give up and continues to stay at his mate's side for better and for worse. Because of how well and supportive ZerEp has been to him, OriZan is forever grateful to have a mate like him and always regards him in the best light possible as he has done more for him then any other 'friend' or family member could do.

His love and support have, in a way, saved him.
