Small comforts

Zee caught her husband's look and purposefully did not meet his eye to acknowledge it. While it might seem odd to the Warlord, Zee felt some kinship with this woman and she was determined to at least see she was treated the way Zee would appreciate being treated. Right now, the kindness she yearned for was the simple familiarity of home. The destruction of the structure she'd spent the last few seasons beneath. The freedom to make those choices on her own. From the way Iris spoke and held herself, Zee could already see the touch of slavery upon her. She should not be surprised that Iris had fallen into the role here, as well, and she only tried to remind herself that Sirius was not a cruel master - and nor was she.

"Please," Zee began with a gentle smile. "Being called 'ma'am' makes me remember how quite old I am." She chuckled, hoping the sound did not come across as nervous as she felt it might have. "You're very lucky Sirius found you, you're safer here now then you might know." Iris wasn't the first wolf her husband had rescued and she wouldn't be the last, and each new member always seemed to find their strength under his guidance. Knowing that with all her heart, Zee shouldn't have felt so alarmed at Sirius' words.. but she saw a bit of herself mirrored in Iris, and the speed of the young servant's recovery frightened her. "Fight training, so soon?" She questioned, meeting her husband's glance. It felt so rushed to have this woman learning combat a mere few weeks after liberation, and while she trusted Sirius' handling of their wolves, she worried what that might mean for her own recovery.
