Only the Ocean

Though proper healing took time, Zee had begun to fall into the familiar routine of home. On the outside everything seemed so different but underneath it all there was a lot that stayed the same. The way the evening sun reflected off the beach and into their den, the path of patrols that skirted along the same well-marked borders, the tall grass that towered over her and forced her onto boulders to make sense of paths and directions. While members may come and go, these things would always be home.

The newly-rescued queen had spent very few hours outside the den since arriving back to the Armada, and while it would have been easy to spend another day hiding away in the dark comfort she knew she couldn't continue this way forever. The morning was quiet, she did not know where Sirius had run off to nor where Iris was, but she knew they must have a reason for their absences. It was peaceful anyways, being alone. She moved down from the den to where the shore met the sea, standing not too far from the bridge Sirius had once built through the shallows. It had been a place for their children to learn to play and learn to swim, and held as many good memories as it did negative ones. He'd rebuilt it since it'd crumbled under his weight, but she could still see the age in the wood and how it threatened to buckle under the gentle waves. Dipping her toes in the cold water and tilting back her head to the sun, Zee took in the sunshine and the salty ocean air and attempted to find relaxation.
