Zee couldn't ignore the irony in her Empress politely knocking at her den, and stifled a giggle. Seasons ago it was timid slave Zee tapping upon the palace doors each morning to be granted entrance, and here now her mistress and friend was waiting so patiently for Zee to call her in. "Come on in!" She called out, feeling the puppies stir beside her at her yell. Once the Empress had entered and made her way into the room with Zee and her pups, the new mother would gift her dearest friend a smile. "You know, family doesn't knock. Keep that up and you're going to offend me." The affectionate tone and grin clearly said that Zee was joking, though she still punctuated the statement with a soft laugh. "Look at them! Growing every damn day." Her nose booped her daughter upon the butt, and her tongue ran swiftly over the boys' fur to make them look respectable for company.
