but that girl had so much love

Sirius was just happy to have Zee back. He knew it had been a close thing there, his high spirited love had some very strong opinions of her own. In the end, it was decided that he could not mistreat a slave without talking through his game plan with her first. That way she could amend his plan into something fair, and give him an insight into the human condition.

He wanted to hold her tight, but didn’t want to overdo it, so when Death came to the den, he would beside Zee, but not holding onto her, his lame leg spread out before him in as comfortable position as he could manage.

“Death? Is this about the stores?” he asked, fighting a yawn as he lifted his head from his lap, and offered his Empress a cautious smile. He had no doubt Zee would invite the Empress into the den, and he left that to his Wife, to whom most such matters of chivalry would fall to.
