As Zachary's head finally begins to clear completely, he notices a smile cross the warrior's face...but for some reason....the sight of it doesn't bring him much comfort. It is not a smile of joy and happiness. Rather it is a cold grim smile without mirth, but with an odd measure of satisfaction.
The cleric isn't sure if this bodes ill or well for him. It is quite possible his interference allowed the warrior some manner of personal victory over his inner conflict. It is also just as likely that he has slipped further in his struggle, but no longer fears or fights it as strongly as he did before.
The warrior is an accomplished fighter and has been a good ally so far, but Zachary still doesn't feel comfortable turning his back on him.
