I want to feel your heartbeat

Sirius was seeing through her and Zee knew she couldn't tell him the truth, not yet. It was too difficult to keep the worry from her face where he could so easily read it, and so instead she stepped forward to bury it into his neck. "I just want to go home." She told him, her mind working to spin her words into something reasonable and truthful enough that he could not question it. "I'm tired, it's hard to watch over the oasis, travelers lake and both plains. I'm stretched too thin." It wasn't a lie, and so perhaps it could fool him. It helped that she knew he'd feel at least somewhat responsible, seeing as it was his den-rest and broken leg that forced her to work so hard. Coming from slavery it was not unreasonable to think that she was having trouble adjusting. "Can't we just go home and try out our old den?"
