Time is Running Out

Exhaustion weighed upon every muscle of her body from her horned head down to her dainty paws, each movement sluggish and a little bit unbalanced as she pushed out from the courtyard and into the entrance hall. A tired sigh peeled from her maw, head pounding and the twisting of her stomach intensifying as the herbal infusion began to wear off. For a moment she considered heading back to the infirmary to request more medicine, but with that request would need to come a sincere apology for the way she had waved off Gwyn's well-placed concern. While Zee had accepted that her initial response was not becoming of her, she was too drained to even consider such a conversation currently. Rather than take a right into the hospital wing, Zee continued forward to the stairway. The climb up was grueling and painful, and halfway to her guest room she found she very much regretted not going to see Gwyn for that top up. She would have a short nap, send for medications to dull the pain and fever once more, and then see about meeting up with Seer to discuss their short future. A conversation she knew she would need to be rested and as well as she could be for. Zee made it all the way to the cracked doorway without stopping, the sounds echoing from within a clear indicator of who was within and what they were doing. This conversation would not be delayed, it seemed. She idled outside the door a moment, her hesitation growing the longer she put her entrance off. Eventually the sounds began to slow and Zee gathered what was left of her strength, stepping through the doorway with her horned head high. She would not be weak and crumbling when her husband looked upon her, it was the least she could give him. The room was a mess, but Zee's gaze merely gave a weary sweep of the destruction before fixing solidly upon the man she loved. "Our hosts won't be thrilled." The attempt at humor was delivered dry and with an undertone of genuine concern, lacking her usual sass. "Did you leave anywhere for sleeping?"
