Tripping over Tombstones
Sirius

She had been waiting for him to explain away his fear, had filled the silence with her own imagined replies. Would he admit again that he'd harmed someone? Was it someone they both had loved? Did they survive the tear of his sabers, as she had? Or would he make himself an excuse for it, to reassure her that he was not always wearing the face of the monster that had slaughtered her captors? She waited and watched, but the response never came. Zee hardly had time to condemn him for the deflection, for her inquisitive train of thought derailed as he began to instruct her. This was something she could do - thoughtless and easy and familiar. Her gaze pulled away from his and she dipped her head in a slow subservient nod. Zee pushed off the inner den wall and headed past the direwolf toward the doorway. Med kit, food. Not the most outrageous of requests. She meant to cross the threshold with some semblance of confidence, though the blatant gore of the outside world hit her harder then she could have ever expected. Zee's head turned away sharply, tucking her nose into her own shoulder as she resisted the urge to hurl. Looking past her fur she could see the wounded direwolf waiting to be led, and it was only to keep him from remaining on his feet too long that Zee pushed herself to continue out the door. The winds had been kind, the majority of the carnage had been covered by a thin blanket of snow. Muzzles and paws and tails occasionally poked free, and Zee found herself stepping slowly to avoid what she could of the frozen bodies. She led him towards the medical tent and paused out the door, turning back towards Sirius to motion him forward. "Med kid would be in there." She commented, struggling to sound indifferent. The healers had been kind enough to her - if she crossed the threshold, would she find their bodies as well, or had they fled and escaped their deaths?
