She nodded quietly when he spoke of how everyone in the Armada needed to be able to defend themselves. She wouldn't have thought that would mean the slaves as well, but she had clearly been proven wrong. She blinked when he said he believed in her, something squeezing in her chest though she did her best to not show it in her face, instead just giving him a pleasant smile and another nod. "Yes, sir. Thank you again." She waited as he left, the quiet of the den settling in around her. His words replayed in her head as she settled her head on the fur between her paws, flexing her toes over the soft surface again.
After a while she lifted her head and ate a bit more of the food she had been left, slowly bit by bit making up for all the meals she missed. She reached in the bag of herbs and took some more herbs to keep the discomfort from her healing wounds at bay, she drank some more of the water, and she did as she was told. She rested. The whole time she thought about Sirius who had given her all of this and she couldn't help but feel this appreciation that she never thought she would feel. Now all she had to do was not mess this up for herself. Eventually she fell asleep, sleeping deeply for the first time in years.
