Sirius had a lot weighing him down, and struggled with the passing time until he heard the call of his Empress. He made his way to where she stood, and found her dark/silver form outside her den, and offered his childhood love a sad smile, He glanced towards Zee, and well he immediately disliked her submissive posture, he understood it. This was the empress and they had both hurt her. He may no longer help the Klein’s push Zee into a submissive stance, but he would always ensure those around Deathbelle treated her with respect. Even Zee.
He didn’t give her more than a glance, unwilling to hurt Deathbelle further. He had told her everything out of respect to her, not in a desire to hurt her. Never that.
He placed himself on the opposite end of the patio to Zee, still clearly in hearing range of both, and fell to his knees in a knightly post of submission, head bowed until he was given permission to do otherwise. He would hold himself there, still and rigid, with all the patience in the world.
