The time he had spent defeather birds was long and tedious, and he was terribly glad it was over. He did consider putting some aside for Zee, but decided it would be considered impolite. After all, these had been gathered for the Empress He would have to figure out a different way to bring comfort to the wolf that shared his den. Alas, and with joy, he was still excited that today they would be bringing home the pillows the Empress had asked for. He would be in charge of carrying the ‘sack’ which was a great deal larger then the rabbit Dutch had given him. The deer skin was tightly pulled over their feathers, with his teeth pinching the opening closed. He was utterly unable to speak, but he did cast one dire warning glance to Zee. he would no longer punish her for transcretions, but she still needed to put some effort into not sabotaging this meeting with Dutch. He still wasn’t entirely certain what had set of the two females, but they had been at it sudden and harsh like two cats in a bag. He hoped Zee had had time enough to cool and not shoot any more barbs at the woman they needed for crafting. No doubt even after this day, they would need her to create more things for their pack and Empress. He gave Zee a quick nod to indicate he was ready, and let her lead the way. He would have enough trouble not tripping over this bag, that he would leave picking out the right route to his friend. "Speech"

Sirius was all packed and ready to transport the feathers, and she gave one last longing sigh towards Ashen's territory before setting off to find the craftswoman. Somewhere inside her she hoped that the stranger had not met the deadline, simply so this time Zee could be the one to sick Sirius upon someone. The thought made her smile, and she beckoned her friend forward. With his mouth full, Zee could chatter as much as she want on their journey and he'd not have the ability to give his input. "Frankly I think she's rude." She muttered indignantly, punctuating her statement with a huff. "I was perfectly polite until she started talking her shit. The only even questionably rude thing I might have done was step in front of you, but really anyone could see the way she was oogling you. It's just unprofessional!" She continued to vent to him, relaxed and happy with the knowledge of everything that had happened between them since they set off to fetch the pillows. Either way, Zee had decided she was going to do her best - for Sirius' sake - to be polite and not start anything. She couldn't guarantee that it would go well, however. The other woman was as prideful and feisty as Zee it seemed, and she expected they'd butt heads once more. "If she continues to look at you like a piece of meat can you just bite her for me so I can stay out of it?" She smiled sweetly at him, eyes drifting to the sack he carried that made him unable to respond. They approached where they'd met her days prior, and Zee gave one last look to Sirius before throwing her head back in a call for the craftswoman. Today, Belle would have her pillows. "Speech" "Thinking" "You."

Sirius very dramatically rolled his eyes as Zee spoke, it was the best he could do with his mouth full of pillows. It wasn’t easy to lug the stupid sack around, and he would be glad to get rid of it. In his adventures of procuring feathers, he had almost drowned, taken a slave (which almost lost him his friendship with Zee) and spent more hours then he could count pulling feathers out of his teeth. It would all be worth it at the end, but he was sure glad it was almost over. He rolled his eyes again and made a mumbled noise that didn’t resemble any words as he cast his eyes back to her. no he was not going to bite her, and Zee was going to behave. It took them some time to reach the meeting point, and she spat the bag from his lips and shook out his coat with a hurrumph as he looked to Zee. “No biting.” he confirmed, picking up the conversation Zee had started with as they set out. He hadn’t actually minded listening to her droning on, it had filled in the travel time, even if he couldn’t answer her back. He just hoped it was all out of her system now and she could keep her peace during this. He forced himself not to shift his weight from one foot to another. “Where is she?” he wondered "Speech"

Zee waited, and waited. Her summoning howl echoed across the deluge and then faded into nothing and still they waited. She looked to Sirius with worry, and once he finally spoke again her ears fell back against her head. "I don't know." Her response came, head lifting to survey the area. "Do you think she forgot?" This was supposed to be Belle's baby shower gift. How were they to come up with pillows in time now? Anxiety wracked at Zee's thoughts, and she desperately tried to find a way out of this mess. "What are we going to do?" She asked her friend, looking up him and hoping he had an answer for her. "Speech" "Thinking" "You."
