what hurts the most

Ulric smiled softly as Sirius thanked him, giving a small nod as the Warlord reached out to touch his shoulder. "I know you wouldn't ask if you didn't really need it. I'll take care of her the best I can," he promised. If nothing else he was a man of his word and he would do what he could to help Deathbelle find some sort of solace. He gave a slight shake of his head when Sirius mentioned how he had forgotten the news of Zee's return hadn't gotten to The Hallows and he replied, "Don't worry about that. You've clearly had a lot on your plate. I'll be certain to tell Tamsyn when I get back." He nodded with understanding when Sirius mentioned how he wasn't sure if his presence would help or hurt, but offered to come if he was needed all the same and Ulric appreciated it. At least it didn't feel like Sirius was just dropping his problems into the lap of The Hallows and running. He was still invested in Deathbelle, even if his commitment to Zee wouldn't fully allow him to be. "We'll take care of her," he assured Sirius again with a nod. At the end of the day, he wasn't sure they could watch Deathbelle's every last movement and if she truly wanted to end her life she could certainly find a way, but she would have no shortage of support from him or his pack at the very least.

He rose to his paws, allowing Sirius to lead the way back over to where he had told Deathbelle to wait and once they had returned to where he had previously been sitting he offered Deathbelle a soft smile. He gave Sirius a quick glance before he introduced himself. "I'm Ulric Adravendi - Aegis of The Hallows. A pleasure to meet you, Deathbelle," he told her with a dip of his head. He gave Sirius a chance to explain the agreement, waiting to take her with him to Auster. His mind was still reeling with all of the information he had been given, but he knew that above all he needed to get Deathbelle back to The Hallows and call for Tamsyn. Whatever came after that he would have to make up as he went.
