The long road

Iolaire listened like the good sister that she was. She could see how much this was bothering him and she understood. She told him as much, still leaning against his big frame with her much smaller one. "I'm sorry that you have to go through this time and again." She knew that this wasn't the first time. She'd heard about it before. Deathbelle and Sirius both had told her of their heated, steamy past. Forbidden love and all of that. It created a mighty desire. She wasn't sure if even she would have the willpower to fight it.

"Are you going to tell Zee?" Hiding such a thing might make him feel even worse. It might feel like a lie. Every time that the Empress visited her, she told Roan simply because she didn't want him to feel strange about it. They were friends, so they wouldn't be kept apart, but the fact that they were former lovers made things different and she needed to tell him. Perhaps it was something similar for Sirius. In this case, she felt that he should tell Zee what had transpired. She would let him come to that conclusion though. This wasn't her choice to make.
