Small comforts

Although the introduction was difficult for her, Zee sensed no negative response from the stranger. It was a small victory, being small and damaged and accepted still without a thought as the wife of a warlord with such a powerful presence. Iris did not see the strangeness in it, so perhaps there was less then Zee felt. She offered the woman a small smile, though it faltered as Iris bowed her head in respect. Zee worked to replace it in time for her head to lift once more, and followed the woman's gaze towards the prepared meal. "Thank you, this is very kind."

Sirius gave her a gentle nudge and Zee couldn't help but flinch slightly at the sudden contact. She turned her head up to meet her mate's gaze and blew out an exhale - hoping with it she'd rid herself of her discomfort. "Healing from starvation and abuse, she should be in her den." Zee offered quietly, for his ears alone. She moved toward the fire and the food, making herself comfortable as she'd been bid. In truth, she barely felt hungry at all. Glancing across at Iris, she wondered if she felt similar, and how she'd been adjusting to Sirius and his unrelenting need to provide the world to his wolves.

She was still daydreaming as Sirius addressed her, and blinking the daze out of her eyes she tried to recall his words. Healing, right. Hardly a pause was given before she nodded her head agreeably. "Yes, of course." Sirius would not rest without knowing she was healthy and safe, a medical checkup was one small discomfort she could bear for his sanity.

Zee looked back at the food, but did not yet reach to grab a piece. Instead she deflected, turning back toward Iris with a question on her lips. "How long have you been with us, Iris?" Sirius was not known to be cruel to his wolves, but she wanted to ensure this pack member had had adequate rest and recovery before being sent to cook their dinner and clean her wounds.
