She let him work through his tumultuous emotions, feeling his grip tighten and loose against her. In the end he gave her the promise she had asked, offering no guarantees but swearing to do his best to be there for them and to keep himself together. Her pelt soaked in his tears, her own eyes confusingly dry. Perhaps it would truly hit her later, when she was done feeling like there was still so much to do and get hold of. Once her affairs were in order and she could fall to pieces knowing her death would be as she wished. "It's yours." She swore, devastated by the memory of him gifting her said accessory. A fluffy winter cheetah, he had called it. "I don't.. have enough to share with them all." It hurt, knowing there was so little of her to pass around to her many children. Who would get priority? Her youngest, who might take it the worst? The oldest, who had been with her longest? A middle child, who had been so young when her disappearance had sprung and her first 'funeral' held? Zee sighed. "I love you, you know?" She murmured into his fur, banishing the negative train of thought with him, her life-long mate. "I know I haven't been a good wife to you lately but.. I have, and will always love you. Our children are what came of that love, please remember that if ever you want to resent them. They're a part of me." Her voice shook again, emotion weighing with the exhaustion. There was more to say, but Zee's breath caught in her throat. How could she possibly tell him of her plans? Sirius was already understandably devastated and had never been one to give up control. If he wished for her to not go through with her plan, what could Zee possibly do against the chaotic titan's emotions and strength to see it through to the end? "Seer.. I don't want to d-die here, and I won't make it back to the Col." She began carefully, stumbling over the word. "Would you let me choose? Could you do that for me?"
