Zee's attention was set firmly upon the little healer as she spoke on the quality of the land and how she might be able to grow here regardless. She knew Sirius did not make his decisions lightly, though Zee was still pleased to hear of her skill and know they'd made the right choice in wolf for the job. She'd been quite easily promoted to Ambassador and it was plain to see why - Io had knowledge where Sirius had strength, and Zee knew she'd do good things for the Armada in the seasons to come. "I look forward to seeing your gardens." She responded softly, a smile touching her lips. "Before the volcano things were so beautiful, I feel like I didn't spend enough time to stop and admire the beauty before it was taken away. It will be nice to see growth once more."

She seemed hopeful, and that in itself was enough to make Zee feel better about Sirius' chosen lands. Though it looked as if the world would never recover, Io's keen eye had seen a change for the better where Zee's had not. She hummed thoughtfully at her words and nodded. "Hopefully sooner rather then later. Sirius has his heart set on this place. It's difficult to keep watch over four territories and futile to do when we can't stake claim over these two at all. I can't help but feel we're wasting manpower on protecting a land we cannot put our name on." She sighed softly, lifting a paw to kick off some of the ash that had settled upon it. The ground was still wrought with tremors and the longer they'd stayed, the less comfortable Zee felt.

Io motioned them to go further and Zee bit her lip. A quiet sigh, and she turned her head to look back the way they'd come longingly. After a moment she nodded, and moved up alongside the healer. "Only a bit longer, I fear the land is still too unstable. I don't want to risk you getting hurt." Not only would Sirius kill her if his sister were to return home harmed, but Zee was growing fond of her too. They'd need to come back when the risk of earthquake was lessened.
