Barepaw and pregnant in the den

Zee's ear flicked lazily to catch the sounds of approaching pawpads, still laying outside the den by the time the healer approached. She leaned harder against Seer, closing her eyes to fend off the waves of nausea that seemed to intensify with the light. Io was asking what was wrong, and Zee wished she knew enough to answer. "I don't know." She did her best to respond in a fashion that made her seem alert and aware and normal, though it had felt as if she was drained off all energy. "Maybe I should just go back to bed..." Sirius' worry was palpable, and Zee wanted to reassure him that she was fine. In reality, she wanted to tell the healer that she was well and truly dying and to please fix her for Sirius' sake.
