awkward talk

Zee sighed once more, her lips pursed in silence as her friend spoke into her fur. There was so little she knew about leading that it was perhaps true what Deathbelle said. Though to her it felt wrong to ignore true love for duty, and she promised herself she'd never let herself lose Sirius for something so silly. What good was it to be an Empress or a Queen if you could not be with the one who made you happy? "Archon brought Ashen blessings, too." She whispered hesitantly, thinking of the little ones who'd one day surpass Deathbelle herself. "It isn't selfish to follow your heart. I trust your instincts and your judgement. Do you not find strength in happiness? How could you be expected to bring Ashen to greatness with such regrets?" Though she spoke to Deathbelle, Zee thought of her own stresses. The worry that Sirius was too dangerous to produce children with, and how she'd not shared that information with him.
