Lucretia was quick to arrive as well, and Sirius explained who he had found and why. Deathbelle perked an eyebrow at her vessel, again thankful for the loyalty he held, as well as the gift. Once they got the beautifully marked man healed up he could prove to be a similar asset to Zee. "Nimbus," she mulled his name over as his bright green eyes watched her with disdain. He was frightened, he was injured and he didn’t know what was happening to him. Belle tried to soothe him with an easy expression. She held no ill will towards him, but he would quickly realize that he now belonged to her.
"Oh, sweet Nimbus." Belle purred as she looked his frightened form over. He was prepared for the worst, but the Kleins were not overly cruel masters. Some of her kin took their superiority too seriously, but Belle enjoyed being loved and adored. Like Sirius and Zee felt for her. She wished the same from the boy. "Right now, I want your injuries to be healed." She offered sweetly, looking to Lucretia to further soothe his worries. ”When you are at full health we will discuss more the repayment for that kindness."
While she knew he would be no soldier, his talents would certainly be put to good use for the Empire. However, Belle did feel like she was teasing him, and he had asked desperately to be told her plans for him. "You are now a part of the Ashen Empire, Nimbus." Her voice was more serious, but it didn’t lose the sugary tone. "Your devotion and loyalty will be remembered, just as much as any struggle or ill will you show." Belle continued, laying out his future for him.
"Do as the Lady Lucretia tells you," She backed away a bit, looking to Sirius and her sister. "Set him up in your den, sister. Sirius will help you get him there." She knew her vessel was tired, but Luce’s den wasn’t far. "When you have him.. settled," likely he would be given sedatives to begin with so Sirius wouldn’t need to hold him down. "We will speak more of your future." Belle looked back to her new slave, wondering how he might adjust to his new life, and when she might give him his hope of returned freedom.
