grownups need not apply

Though it certainly wasn't needed, in response to Sirius' first statement Zabrina jutted out her chin and gave a sharp, confirming nod. Dang right she would. Sure he was big, but if she felt double-crossed she'd be mad and she wouldn't care if he was the height of a sapling. She could take care of herself; she'd been doing just fine on her own for a couple of days now, hadn't she? If she could do that she could handle this too.

Zabrina's eyes followed Sirius as he crouched down in front of her. Her gaze was hard and unflinching even while he spoke about deals and food and a pack. It stayed that way until he mentioned her mother by name. They widened then. He knew her mom? Had he seen her? Now she was brimming with questions.

Her bottom lip jutted out as she considered the deal. If he knew her mom he might be able to answer some of her questions. Maybe she could sneak those in on the way to his pack because duh she was going to say yes. Zabrina lifted her chin. "Alright, you've got a deal."
