Ruined

It was worrying to hear that her empress had been wounded even further then the little healer and Zee's brows furrowed in concern. Io was capable in her role though it was hard to trust that Deathbelle would be fine after such an attack. She hadn't long to think on it however, as Io was speaking once more of a non-physical injury their friend had sustained. "I fear her heart can't take much more trauma." Zee whispered, ears flattening in her own shame. Would accepting her proposal lift the saddened woman's spirits?

She saw the expression in Io's face and sighed softly, it was obvious that whatever was said to hurt the empress' feelings was not intentional and Io was as worried as she was for Deathbelle. "What happened?" She asked hesitantly, laying her own head on her paws so that she could look the woman in the eye.
