[ Zevran tucks blond curls behind one tiny, pointed ear. ]
...He is truly well? No illnesses, nothing he needs that I have not been able to get him?

Me, convince Mia of something? I can try, but it's far more likely she'll soak me in brandy and offer me as a teething toy to the mabari of Skyhold. And yes, Zevran.
[Anders' voice is warm and reassuring.]
He is healthy. Absolutely healthy. There's nothing you're falling short on, if that's the worry. I'd like to see him from time to time, while he's still here, to make sure that stays the case as infants can be tricky, but there's nothing I'm feeling that's a cause for concern. ...Other than your clear exhaustion.
[There's a pause as he turns his attention more to Zevran rather than the baby that's now drooling as he munches away at the cloth. Anders will need to dry his hand later.]
I'd be glad to spell you and give you a chance for some rest. Justice is no threat to an infant, and I... [He shrugs.] I like children. I'll never have one, which is for the best, really, but I can care for them.

[ Irritable and snapping and Anders has not done anything to deserve it. Lucci whines softly in Anders' hands at the sharp tone of Zevran's voice- a few soft murmured words of Antivan seem to ease his mind. ]
That was uncalled for. I apologize. It is...the not sleeping. I could use rest, but I cannot while Mia is away- someone must mind him. Believe me, I will not need a spell to find sleep, my friend.

[Anders reaches up to brush some of the elf's hair back, and his voice is as gentle as his touch.]
I didn't mean spell as in casting. I can't even do sleep spells; that's entropy and I'm far too strong a healer to have any skill there. I mean give you a break. I could watch him and let you get some rest.

[ He doesn't think twice before asking, leaning into that touch with a sight that spoke of ache. He's a social creature, is Zevran. Craves contact, craves affection and approval. When his only source is a cranky child- it makes his life difficult.
But this- for however long he might have it? he needs it. ]
Please.

[He shifts enough so that he'll be comfortable in the long term and both baby and elf are supported, then Anders is relaxing.]
Rest. I've the both of you.

True to his word it takes nothing more than this for him to drift and fall asleep, exhaustion has long since worn him ragged. A half murmured croon of a lullaby leaves Lucci awake but calm in the face of his father's slumber. ]
