Set the traps and stomp the grounds

The dim lighting grew darker still as Sirius climbed out from the depths of the cellar. Zee could see by the look upon his face that it was, in fact, not good. She nodded her head in understanding as he spoke - the cellar had flooded, there was work to be done. Her warm pelt and fire was forgotten, and she set her lips in a thin line in consideration. It had been a while since she truly felt like an alpha, but she recognized the situation they were in and accepted quickly her responsibility in making sure the pack was warm and fed for winter. "I'll be right here." She told him, leaning over to place a soft kiss on his cheek before he ran off.

While the warm bodies were on their way, she figured she'd see the damage for herself. Steeling herself she headed down into the damp space below, letting out a disgusted 'ugh' as her feet disappeared beneath the greasy water. It did not take much more exploration to see how much had been destroyed, and Zee would have hung her head in disappointment had it not risked dipping her whiskers into the water. Paw steps sounded from above, echoing into the storage space and alerting her to the arrival of reinforcements. She trotted out of the cellar, lifting a soaked paw to hastily inspect the muck in the daylight before turning to Iris. "We sprung a leak." Zee parroted Seer's explanation with a sigh. With a gesture of her crown she beckoned her handmaiden below, pausing at the entrance way. "I doubt much of anything can be salvaged, but we'll do the best we can. We might start by bringing it all out, what do you think?" Whether she was truly asking Iris' opinion or just delaying the inevitable decent back into the muck, Zee wasn't sure.
