Rise Up

Ears flicked forward as Zee explained a bit of what was going on. It was complicated? "It doesn't sound complicated at all. She's encroaching on your territory. He let her. They both deserve punishment." Boundaries were a big deal. Especially in a relationship. Zee and Sirius were committed to one another. Nothing, not even an Empress, should be able to come between them. It was as good as written in stone to the ash and onyx woman.

Resin found that she was angry on Zee's behalf. Such blatant disrespect couldn't go unpunished. "Do you want me to fight her for you?" She'd offered it somewhat jokingly, but if the small woman accepted, Resin would do so. This rift between Zee and Sirius wasn't good for any of them, let alone the children that she'd become so fond of.

The warmth of the mead was spreading through the woman's big body. If she continued, she would soon be drunk. That wasn't her goal, but it was a possibility. Never in all of her days had she allowed another to come between her and her partner. Even when there were three of them in a relationship. It was a sacred bond that could not be broken without blood and retribution.
