Green eyed monster

Zee was gentle in her confession as she offered her Empress the thoughts she had on the first day they’d met. Deathbelle accepted the woman’s affection, allowing herself to enjoy the moment of freedom. To simply enjoy Zee’s company, because her time with her best friend would be cut shorter. It warmed her heart to know she felt so strongly about her, Deathbelle could reciprocate the emotion, she was going to miss her closest confidant. ”Don’t forget about me over there.” She offered with mock worry, not even Sirius would keep her from the woman.

They talked more about Io as well, and Belle could feel the concern in the subtle tension of Zee’s body. ”He has taken to her incredibly quickly. They assured me everything was platonic.” She wanted to be completely convinced for her dearest’s sake, but the energy between the two of them had been undenyable. Sirius cared deeply for the woman, and Belle hoped she didn’t offer a threat to Zee’s position. ”Don’t worry about her too much.” She tried to soothe her as Belle’s own thoughts bubbled up again.

The Empress buried her features into Zee’s warm coat as she felt ashamed of herself. She still loved Sirius. Archons love had been bright, true and may have overcome the love she held for Sirius one day. His flame had been cut short though, and Sirius continued to remind her of how alone she was. Belle sighed softly into the new queen’s fur. ”I still love him. I’m so sorry for it.” She confessed in whispered tones as she tried to cling tighter to Zee. ”I don’t want to be like this. I want him to be happy. I need to see you happy. But I'll miss you so much.” Deathbelle forgot how weak losing Archon had made her as her words got away from her.

Zee had also been used as a barrier between herself and the Warlord. Belle wanted to stay true to her word, but it was so hard when she struggled so heavily. Her selfishness took hold as she found her way back to her problems. A disgusted noise fell from her lips and she lost control of the tears that fell from her eyes. ”I’m sorry Zee, you come to me for help and I can only see my own problems.”
