Zee's gaze softened slightly as the woman cowered before her, her lips losing their wrinkle as she relaxed her snarl. The guilt was beginning to get to her, and she wondered to herself how Sirius could ever keep so cold in a situation such as this. She'd told him she didn't have the heart to be a queen, and her empathy towards the sad crying woman who'd she'd deemed a slave was only evidence of it. "You don't need to be afraid." Zee told her softly, not wanting to upset the woman further.

Her own humble origins came back to her, and while she'd essentially sold herself into slavery, she still understood what it felt like to have your freedom stripped away. "I will not hurt you, nor will anyone here. Any outsider who means to harm you will need to get through Sirius and myself to do so. You will be protected, fed, and provided for. In return you give us whatever skills you may have, and obey to the best of your ability." Sirius had been the one to teach Zee how to properly serve her masters, and his words came back to her now. "I do not expect blind devotion of you, though my wish is that over time you'll come to respect us, and will want to be obedient." A soft sigh pulled from her lips, and she settled down to lay on the ground before the shaking wolf.

Deathbelle had never mistreated Zee, and in turn Zee grew to love the woman. Though her memories of so long ago were foggy, she knew the Empress was always kind to her regardless of her position. "I've been where you are now, and through hard work and devotion I was granted my freedom. My mistress then is now my closest friend and sister now, and I lead her Armada beside Sirius with her blessing." She wanted to get across that this was not a death sentence nor the end of her freedom perpetually. There was room to grow, and if Odette strived for it then she could achieve the same. "I will place you where I was placed - a handmaiden. A servant to me personally. Though you will obey the other ranked wolves of the Armada, your main focus will be on assisting me." While she wanted to make the woman feel better, she needed to be careful not to give her too much free rein. She could present it like a choice and this wolf could make the decision she felt best suited for, but ultimately Zee aimed to ensure she knew that neither of the options would be to leave and be free - yet. "If you feel you can't do that, then you can remain a simple pack slave and I will find another to serve me personally."
