Small comforts

Zee did not expect the reunion to be so... exhausting. She loved her children with every inch of her heart, but perhaps it was a consequence of that love that she feel so drained now in the face of so much .. apathy. Sirius had lead her away and she let her head droop as they walked, nearly ready to tell him no, she'd sleep among the grasses rather then walk another inch. Their den was not as far away as she'd remembered, however, and as the fire came into view she forced to the front enough energy to manage the remainder of the way. Food, fire, and home. Zee's eyes watered as they approached the familiar sea-side den. The place her children had come into the world, the little slice of comfort she shared with the wolf who made her happiest. Her steps quickened and she moved to overtake him, climbing through the grass and into the presence of another. "Oh." Her limbs froze, her mind desperately reaching for answers that didn't appear. "Zee, this is Iris, I rescued her from abandonment in the Barren hill. Iris, this is Zee… my wife.” Zee managed to glance back at her husband, not bothering to hide from him the panic in her eyes. Who was this wolf to him? More importantly, who was this wolf to her? The slave queen stammered, managing to at least lift her head to regain some semblance of pride in her own appearance. She'd met wolves Sirius had brought in a dozen times previous, but never had she forgotten how to present herself before them. "Hello, Iris." She managed, resisting the urge to tuck closer to the warlord and hide within his furs.
