so hold me

Zee's time was fast approaching, and still the queen felt very unprepared for the experience she was due to have. More and more her worries spiked, Deathbelle's words about bearing a titan's children echoing in her head. Surely Iolaire was a capable healer, but could she save a kitten who was tasked with birthing a tiger? Zee had to visit, and discuss her worries with the healer in charge of her care. She'd checked Io's cottage first, finding the place empty with scents that were still fresh enough to say that her sister and her patient were nearby. She followed the trail towards the paw-made pond, grumbling under her breath for the hundredth time about the length of the grass and how in places it obscured her vision completely.

Finally she reached hushed voices and pushed through the foliage to approach, a question on her lips. "Io, I-" Her words cut off, and her jaw snapped audibly shut. The man that Iolaire had taken in as a patient, he was kissing her. Heat flushed to her cheeks and she averted her gaze quickly, speaking with her head turned away from them as not to watch their private moment. "Come find me when you're... done." Zee's tone was level, giving nothing away. She barely waited for a response before backing away from the pair and slipping back into the grasses.

-exit?-
