As spring turned to summer the weather did finally seem to change, he could feel the warm breezes from the south again. Indigo was holding out hope that maybe warmth had returned to their lives, the plants would be taking in the sunlight and perhaps he’d manage to harvest a good few. He wasn’t sure that he would ever get the feeling of getting back to normal. There wouldn’t be a real normal without Resin here or without knowing he could go and run to his mother in the Armada whenever he needed her. He still felt the distance between himself and Aslatiel, like a knife that wouldn’t be pulled from his side.

With everything going on in the hallows getting away wasn’t a simple task, but he also had his healing duties to think of and a trip to search for herbs was well worth the effort and time away from Hallowed land. Even better would be the company he had along with him. Duchess was small and lithe, she could get into places he couldn’t. She was an extra pair of eyes, and a companion to help look after him on the long trip. He didn’t get lost, he always knew where the Hallows were, it was his mind that liked to wander. Duch helped keep him centered on the path. There was no secret that he enjoyed her presence as well.

He hoped that there might be some promises kept on this trip, he wanted to feel the sun again. He wanted to see the world in green. Indigo wanted to find flowers once more. The pair of them headed south, and paced through the deep forests. Green was beginning to truly return to the massive trees around him. Indigo felt at home. There was peace here and it filled him and put his worries at bay. His shoulders relaxed as the smells of a late spring filled him. He needed this return to normalcy, a glimpse of hope in his darkness.

Location: The Ancient Oaks Duchess would never deny an outing with Indigo, and now that the seasons changed and the warmer weather was here it was time to move out and try some scouting again. They had come back many times empty handed, Duchess on her own more than she wished to admit. It was disheartening that she couldn't provide for Indigo's pack. She wanted to do everything to make her mark here to put a good name on him. They had made their way back through the lands that they had ventured through on their first day of meeting. Where Duchess found the marigold and the saber cat had attacked them. Her body shivered mentally to the thought, but they were very different now than that day. And the new season was sure to push the dangerous creatures back to where they came from. She too admired what the warm weather had brought them. Indigo in her thoughts is what made her admire such beauty even if it was just a little bit of color. All she wanted was to see him happy, especially in the darker times he was struggling with. It was understandable and she was sure it would take time before he would feel like himself again. Still, she was doing everything she could for him. The shade from the oaks actually felt nice after their travel in and out of the the trees and fields. It was a weird feeling to say the least. The cold had been so bitter that they prayed for the warmth to come. She wasn't complaining, the warming feeling was both surprising and comfortable. They carefully trekked around the oaks, Duchess herself looked around the trunks of the trees they passed for any herbs that could have poked out from the roots. And after so long, it was there in front of them. The sun shined down in a ray and onto almost a vision of heaven. Different colored wildflowers had grown in a large patch hidden in the center of the forest. She almost forgot to look at Indigo to take in his reaction, her own bright smile to him as she turned to observe his features. Walk "Talk" Think

Duchess didn’t stray far from him on their outings these days, she was privy to a front row during one of his most ferocious moments. Indy was lucky he hadn’t scared her away then, but she kept close so he could keep her safe. So he wouldn’t have to repeat his performance to keep her from harm. His mind didn't wander too close to the cat he had beaten back, he was too focused on the life that was growing up around them. Moss and lichen were reviving, underbrush was returning, the forest was renewing.

The pair of them had their eyes peeled for anything they could bring back home, rare and common herbs alike. The stores were pitiful after such a long and arduous winter. Not only did they need to renew their resources but Indigo needed to revitalize his soul. He never felt right during the winter. The cold and death to the plant life he loved so much. It was a difficult journey of life and death every year. And he was really feeling how off balance everything was this year.

An easy quiet peace fell between the two, their walk was so much more than a stroll. Indigo needed this, a promise of hope. He was forced to stop though, as both wolves were bathed in sunlight and presented a sight that took the young man’s breath away. Flowers. Dozens and dozens of them in this clearing. Spring and summer species alike popped up and reached for the sun. They blossomed just for him.

Indigo’s jaw drop and he felt the now familiar over flow of emotion. Without being able to help himself tears spilled from his eyes as he was overwhelmed again. Astonished and grateful to have this moment. His haunches lowered to the ground as his knees grew wobbly and his massive shoulder leaned affectionately into Duchess as she gazed up at him just as brightly as the flowers surrounding them.

She found an emotion she wasn't ashamed of when she looked at Indigo. He found such joy and hope in the flowered clearing that he teared up. Duchess wouldn't mention, instead go on as if he had no tears. Her hips spun around as she faced him, backing up into the flowers. Her gaze was almost devilish, inviting him into the field of gold they had found. She meant no intent through her gaze, only wanting Indigo to savor every moment of the happiness he found. Her gaze reluctantly pulled from Indigo as she looked up from where the sun's rays were raining down on her, as if she could feel it pouring onto her fur and skin. She danced around, her dainty paws careful not to destroy the beauty under her. When she came to a halt, her eyes closed as she took the warmth in and enjoyed it, and it made her feel like all their dreams had come true. Was this even real life? She could be dreaming now, couldn't she? Walk "Talk" Think

Indigo was equally transfixed by this magical patch of wildflowers as he was with Duchess movements. She retreated into the flowers and caught his gaze as she did so. The sun brightened her fur like he’d never seen before and her eyes sparkled like some kind of gems as she looked like she was dancing through the fragrant blooms. Duchess invited him in without even trying. Indigo settled his sorrows at the edge of the woods and stepped forward free of any extra baggage. This moment was about returning to balance, finding the warmth after the cold harsh winter, letting go of the hurts that were festering old wounds.

The young man waded forward, carefully stepping into the blooms and dreamy sunshine. He could hardly believe his eyes but as the sun hit his pelt he felt cleansed. Nothing beyond the sun on his back or the earth at his feet would be more important. Indigo closed his blue eyes for a long moment as he savored what felt impossible for so long. He took in a deep breath and filled his senses with the fresh scent of growth, flowers, and fresh soil. Then his sapphire eyes were opening to find Duch’s tiny frame centered in his view.

She looked like pure innocence as she stood, savoring the dream like moment. The sun glittered over her fur as vibrant petals swirled in the air around her. This was some kind of dream and he could hardly believe his eyes. A content rumble echoed through Indigo’s chest as he carefully folded his legs and lowered his massive body in the center of the clearing. ”Duchess?” He invited her closer, but was hesitant to disturb her mesmerizing dance.

Duchess would still appear mesmerized as Indigo entered the flowered meadow after her. Maybe that’s what she wanted, Indigo to be taking in the scene with her in it. Maybe she was starting to surpass her insecurities and self esteem. If only in the presence of Indigo. Her nose pointed in his direction as he spoke her name, seeing he had found himself comfortable surrounded by the flowers entirely. She expected nothing less of him. But he was inviting her as she had to him. She wouldn’t hesitate, immediately moving to his side and rolling to her back at a slight angle towards him. He did look different in the sunlight, if it was this sunlight or any sunlight. She would consider this moment a little more special than most, so perhaps in her memory she would always see him as different than any other time. She placed I paw on his shoulder or chest, which ever was available, and still looked up into the blinding light with a content smile. Their days in the dark were over, she hoped they never had to go that long without the sun again. She looked back to Indigo, her shoulder rolled a little more in to him. She wasn’t sure what to say or if there was anything to say at all. She did prefer the quiet and their actions over what any words could do. Just looking at indigo and seeing his smile was enough for her. She gently moved her muzzle up to his, offering just a quick cute kiss for the moment. Maybe even a little playful. She wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Walk "Talk" Think

There was only one woman who held the title of most beautiful, and Indigo’s opinion would never change. Duchess was special though, he couldn’t deny her own beauty and grace as her dainty paws carried her through the blooms. He couldn’t take his eyes off of her for some reason. He watched her turn back to him with no hesitation as he called out, and she promptly curled herself against him in return.

Indigo smiled softly as she revealed her belly and looked up into his sun hewn features. He chuckled slightly as she blinked back the sun. He moved slightly, lifting one massive arm over her belly so she fit against his rib cage. She rolled against him easily and placed a paw to his chest as she gazed upwards. Indy felt himself smiling down, this field, having her here beside him, and feeling a spring breeze ruffle his coat brought hope back to the boy. Hope that he would weather the storm and that he still had good times to look forward to. After everything the sun was shining again.

She didn’t catch him by surprise when she reached up to offer him an innocent kiss. A physical reminder of the emotions within her and that were shared between them. It was short and sweet but Indigo was struck by the desire for more. He told her before he hadn’t been ready, but was he now? Was she? Indy looked down at his pretty purple flower and wondered if he was in the right to try. Naiche told Aslatiel that he loved her, but had he gained that high of esteem with Duchess? Did she love him?

Indy tried to wave the questions away and instead gently leaned down to offer a similar kiss, but added the conflicted emotions he felt within. He wanted to press forward, but wouldn’t at any hint of hesitation. Duchess meant the world to him, and Indy would have been content remaining here in a relationship of cuddles and kisses forever.

Duchess had grown used to Indigo's touch, if anything she craved it. Even if it become so natural for their touch, cuddles, and kisses, she still tingled when Indigo touched her in more sensitive areas. This time her belly, but she wouldn't flinch. Her full attention was brought back to Indigo as he gave her a similar kiss in return. But there was something different, she couldn't tell what it was. For a moment she just started at him, her lashes fluttered as they did more often than not. She was really trying to analyze exactly what was going through his mind. But she felt like he would voice what it was he wanted her to know. She was fine if he didn't want to announce feelings of hurt, love, or anything in between. She just knew when they were together like this, everything felt like it was meant to be. As she carefully searched his soft face, she slowly found herself moving in closer to him. Her own features seeming a little more lustful than gentle not that she was intending. "Indigo..." she trailed quietly, her gaze flicked from his muzzle to his eyes, lingering if only a few seconds more before she finally went to close the little distance she left between them. The deeper kisses she shared weren't much different than previous ones they shared back at home. But she had felt the strange feelings he added into his own, and she wanted to know more. Walk "Talk" Think

She didn’t shudder or shake like she might have as they began to get to know each other, she barely flinched as he brushed against her belly. He pulled back slightly and she blinked up at him in contemplation. Trying to read his features or maybe she could see into his mind beyond. She blinked back long lashes and her innocent expression only furthered endeared the girl to him. Indigo already knew the desire welling in his belly, but it was an entirely different animal to the one that filled him because of Aslatiel.

He smiled down softly as she analyzed his actions, but still pressed in closer to him. Duch’s expression shifted as she whispered his name, Indy could feel the ignited spark between them. He fell into her two toned gaze, mesmerized by all that she was. She leaned forward and he met her lips as they both tumbled into the deeper emotions their kisses caused. He pressed his paw pad to her shoulders and pulled her closer.

Their affections were easily shared but the feeling between them shifted. Indigo felt just as strongly for her, but there was something more. Something deeper that needed to be satisfied. This kiss was the same but so different from every one previously. He’d needed her to be his hope and joy while all he knew was devastation. Now he had his hope he showed his affection in its most pure form. ”Duchess,” he whispered against her lips between these special kisses. What words could he say to her to describe his desires? He knew she had deep wounds that he was loathe to disturb, but the way she felt against him. Her gaze as she peered up at him, did she feel the same?

Indigo held her to his chest and carefully rolled her and his massive frame over into the flowers. He didn’t even mind them as his blue gaze couldn’t be torn from her. He settled into the greenery beneath him with Duch perched daintily on his belly. Indigo kissed her with more urgency, but gave her control even as he held her tight. He found his claws tracing through her soft violet fur to the sensitive skin beneath and stoked the sparks he felt beneath his skin wherever they touched.

! Mature ! for sexual themes and trauma She couldn't deny the heat she felt as they pressed on, something much different than her own traumatic experience. She only ever subconsciously compared Draco and Indigo, mostly through what she was felling either physically or mentally. Draco never came to the forefront of her mind when she laying with Indigo, kissing Indigo, or in a moment like this. All she saw was his gentle and handsome face and strong embrace while they made their own memories together from the time they met until now. Indigo did bring out the best in her, she wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Her body flowed along with him, she was feeling now what it was his own body was suggesting. She didn't hesitate herself, feeling the heat of the moment and the emotions inside the both of them. She had been lost in him, forgetting everything around them, and just knowing they were surrounded by beauty. The smell of the wildflowers was locked into her memory of this moment, one that seemed to go so smoothly and naturally. Her hips gently pushed into his underbelly as she would start the new dance with him. Until she couldn't. Almost with one swift moment, her chest trembled into his own. Their meaningful kisses had been broken not only by her, but by Indigo too. Her first instinct was to drop her head under his chin in comfort and almost a sign of asking for forgiveness, but she stopped herself half way. "I want this Indigo. Please." She confessed, her eyes moving up to meet his. But they were filled with the same desire she had just shown him, not sad or damaged. She was still trembling slightly, "We just need to break this barrier." She didn't want to force him into it of course, but she wanted this so bad. She wanted this next step more than she could describe. It was almost apart of her healing process. At least she believed if they could push past it the feeling would be gone. There was no way to know for sure until it happened. They may not have outwardly said they loved each other, but Duchess felt that way through the emotions they shared, even if Indigo couldn't entirely relate right now. Walk "Talk" Think

She moved along with him like their thoughts were the same, they built a slow but steady rhythm with each kiss. Indigo didn’t feel any hesitation in her as he ran his cat like paws up and down her graceful body. This was different than before, every touch and sigh led further down a dangerous path, but both of them played their part perfectly. Indigo felt it easy to get lost in her, the scent of green and flowers all around them invigorated Indigo like he hadn’t felt before. It was easy to imagine that right here and now this meadow was the only place in existence and Indigo’s only purpose was this blissful existence with Duchess.

Indy gave her control and she took it from him gladly. She moved like she had experience, but Indy tried not to think too deeply about her past. He knew it hadn’t been pretty, and that was only proven in the way she reacted to his affection sometimes. She seemed to push through, and with careful poise Duchess leaned into him. Indigo’s eyes rolled to the back of his head and he pressed deeper into their kiss. He startled when he felt her convulsion, his attention snapping to Duch and her needs immediately as she fell to his chest. Everything else forgotten or ignored.

She met his eyes as her words were the ones to assure him. She was breathless and struggled, Indigo very nearly denied her as dual toned eyes met his. Please. His expression softened as his claws traced the fur of her shoulder. There was no more doubt in his mind, she wanted this and him as much as the inverse was true. ”You have to tell me to stop if it's too much.” He whispered quietly to her as he ran his paw through her scruff. Indigo leaned up to kiss her delicate lips and pull her closer to him all over again. There had been no pause the desire he felt and the licking flames underneath his dark lavender fur. ”I want you Duchess.” He confessed in a whisper as his heart hammered against his chest. More and more he adored the woman against him.

She could never be a substitute for the one who had his heart, but she was everything he needed in her absence. He was grateful for his miracle gem, and he wanted to show her those feelings that words couldn’t describe.

He ended up not denying her, she couldn't be anymore grateful that he was at least willing to try. "I will." She assured him in a quiet whisper, and they would move on almost from where they left off. Through the passionate kisses they shared, Duchess was tense but able to subside the shaking. Her mind and body still knew what was coming, and they each told her both the good and bad expectations. She wanted this moment with Indigo. There was nothing to tell her how good sex could feel, but she wanted that strong emotional connection with him. And honestly she was ready and expecting to feel what she had the first time with Draco. Her breath was taken away when he told her he wanted her, she clung to him tighter, pushing more heavily into their kisses but still with some sort of gentleness. It only took seconds after Indigo had taken her for her to relax in an extremely obvious manor after realizing that all of this was okay, no, it was perfect. She still let Indigo take the lead but she moved with him feeling as if they connected spiritually. Her moans of pleasure clear signs that Indigo had guided her into the brighter path. -fade- Walk "Talk" Think

He fully expected her to stop him so Indigo’s movements were much softer and slower than his first attempts with Aslatiel. Duchess was tense and tight at first, but slowly they eased against each other. Despite her body and mind fighting against her she clung to him like a lifeline as they worked through the troubles that haunted her together. Indigo took her paw and gently led her forward, showing her the inverse of everything she had ever known. The first few steps were the hardest, but even through the memories that haunted her she followed the light at the end of the tunnel.

Indigo felt the moment she pushed through as her entire demeanor shifted. Her body relaxed into him and instead of feeling forced she moved with him in this most intimate dance. Her soft voice urged him onwards and all of his own fears were swept away with hers as he took her for his own. Consequences be damned as pleasure surged through him as an electric current they shared between their bodies. He couldn’t believe what he was doing could be any kind of wrong when being with her like this felt so right. The sun, the flowers, the beautiful day soothed him into a blissful existence with the girl he cared so strongly for.

-fade-

Indy groaned lightly as he rolled the pair of them to their sides once again, his breathing was labored but satisfaction played over his features. He grinned down at her, his troubles forgotten in this magical meadow. He leaned in to kiss Duchess again, his affection bubbling up easily after the experience they shared. For just a moment he didn’t feel like the broken being he truly was inside. Duchess helped him as much as he helped her, and all he wanted was to keep that blissful expression on her sweet face.

”How are you?” He asked her quietly, barely lifting his lips from hers as he did so. He had butterflies in his stomach. Indigo had gotten a very good idea of how she felt, she hadn’t held back the gentle mews and moans that caressed his ears.

The two of them went back to their sides after the release, Duchess still took in Indigo's labored breath and the hint of his smile through her peripheral. Somehow she found her gaze down at his chest, both of her her paws still laid gently on the surface but with one she ran her claws through the fluff of his mane. Watching the rise and fall of his breathing and remembering the feeling of his heart against hers. He had come to meet her for a kiss, which had her attention back on his face, closing her eyes for the kiss and lightly opening back her optics to look up at him. She smiled to the gesture, she couldn't be anymore satisfied and happy with what they had done. But now she was in some kind of trance in the after, maybe relieved about how everything had turned out. He asked about herself to which she hummed, scooting in closer to him as she clung to him again and her head rubbed across his forearm, "Perfect." She would state in return, she could hope he felt that same way, of course she thought he did. And course there was no doubt the emotions Indigo felt for Duchess were genuine. But she didn't know the secrets he was hiding behind him. She didn't keep the silence for anymore than a few seconds, but her features held a little more of a troubled expression. She wouldn't leave him wondering, "I want to stay like this forever." And she did. In his embrace, feeling his breath so close to her, sharing these tender moments over and over again. Was that an unrealistic expectation? Walk "Talk" Think

Somehow their affection was even easier afterwards, like any barriers had been torn down and all that was left was pure affection and lust. She returned his kisses, soft and satisfied as he felt. As he asked after her though Duch pressed her body close to his again. He basked in the aftereffects with her, running his paw over the back of her head and down her neck as she answered him. Indigo couldn’t have asked for a better answer. He’d been hesitant at first but now that he could see her and how pleased she looked Indigo wouldn’t have changed a thing. He’d indulged and she had done the same, and they both felt that they had gained from the intoxicating experience.

He wrapped his head around her in a closer embrace and smiled there in the sunny meadow. ”Good. I didn’t want to hurt you,” he said softly as he nuzzled into her soft ears. She spoke up again, a soft word of forever. The words were almost troubled, as though she could sense the deeper sorrows that haunted the man who held her. ”Hmm forever?” He tried to tease her and direct the conversation elsewhere, suddenly feeling guilty as he steered away from being honest with her. How could he tell her about Aslatiel the moment after she’d given herself to him? ”I thought we were going to go swimming?”

The grin her wore wasn’t forced, but it didn’t feel genuine to Indigo as he betrayed her trust and confidence by staying silent. Surely she had an idea that she wasn’t the one and only? Cosette was living proof of that. Indy tried to shoo the thought from his mind as he held the dainty girl. None of it changed how he felt about her, nor what he wanted for her.

Indigo understanding her comfort maybe even in an mental way too wouldn't go unheard. He may not have known what she had felt beneath in the scarred memories of what happened to her before. But he was still there to help lead her through the waters, discovering what she needed to do for herself and her own self healing. She wasn't offended by his turn in emotion through his words as they still laid there together enjoying every moment they had. She would smile gently with the same kind of sarcasm that he showed. "We are. Don't think you can get out of it that easy." She joked back, but still liked the idea of having another fun day in the sun all to themselves. She couldn't deny how acceptably selfish she was with Indigo. She may not have been verbal or physical about it, but there was a part of her that wanted to steal his time not only from The Hallows but also from the young girl they shared their room with. It was Indigo's room really, and she wouldn't reject what he wanted. It seemed like they had been here all day, unless it was just the clouds rolling in. Duchess reluctantly sighed but didn't move away from his grasp, "We should take some flowers home?" She questioned, some she expected to be used in the stores or for Indigo's personal use but honestly she would have liked some to admire in their room-den. Walk "Talk" Think

Indigo brushed her fur lovingly as they spoke, curled up there in that flower meadow he could forget some of the anguish he felt. Having Duchess to occupy his time and to shower his affections on, distracted him from the trouble underneath. She was bright in his time of need, grinning and returning his teasing back at him, assuring him that he wouldn’t get out of swimming with her so easily. The young man chuckled, the sound was lighthearted as he refused to think about how deep the wound in him was. Indy took a deep breath of the perfumed air around them and Brushed Duch’s cheek lightly.

Neither wolf was in a hurry to move, not after what they’d done. Indigo knew there was always the sense of responsibility right at the edge of consciousness and Duchess spoke about just that. The day was drawing onwards, and they actually had flowers to harvest and bring back to the Hallows. Still Indigo sighed as he reluctantly accepted they needed to be on their way. A yawn left him as the clouds rolled by and he reluctantly loosened his grip from the girl.

He kissed her nose before he stood up and shook out his pelt. ”Pick a few that you think are pretty. I’ll gather what would do best in our stores.” He told her softly as he first went to pick through the bloods he’d crushed while preoccupied with his flower that was Duchess.

Indigo wouldn't disagree as they needed to be pulled back into reality of their responsibilities. The life he suggested as a traveling band being more desirable to her as she felt they could have just laid in the flowers for the rest of the night or until they chose to move on to the next pile. Even sharing Indigo's time with others in the band was acceptable to her, even though she could only wish to take him for herself. He took the first initiative, Duchess just found herself still frozen in time even without his body there to warm her under the fading sun. Still on her side her gaze wandered at Indigo's legs and paws as he suggested she pick some of her favorite flowers. Her mind almost imagined a ghost of him there beside her even while he was still in close proximity to her. The sun brightened and darkened her frame in the changing rays above her. And she finally found the strength to remove herself from their comfortable entanglement that had already been broken just a moment before. She turned immediately to look at the flowers below and around her, surpassing a gaze of Indigo entirely as she felt this new exotic feeling inside of her missing him already. She didn't know how to approach or remove herself from the feeling, so her eyes just continued their search along the colorful petals. She chose only the most golden and pure white ones, a bouquet perfect for her size and when she was ready, she turned to Indigo so they could begin their journey back to the castle. Only what was revealed were welded up tears in her eyes that she hadn't even noticed. Walk "Talk" Think

Indigo was looking forward to the day that they were part of a band, they could stop and stay wherever they wanted for as long as they wanted. There would be no urgency to return to set in stone borders. These little vacations into the wild could very well be their new everyday. Indigo was infatuated with the thought and more so than ever he felt an eager anticipation for his band of misfits. He didn’t want to let go of Duch’s soft form, but duty called. He didn’t hesitate too much, she was his. Indigo ould indulge whenever they wished, the pair of them had broken down a barrier. Her kisses, her body, and her love, was all his to drink in and enjoy.

Even as he sorted through the familiar blooms he couldn’t help but steal glances at her as the sun danced through her fur. Indigo wore an easy smile, maybe it was because he couldn’t help the expression when he was surrounded by such beauty, or maybe it was the thrill of being with Duchess only a short time before. Indigo gathered a few common flowers, they weren’t the most beautiful but they would be the most useful to the Hallows. As he gathered his collection his companion similarly finished her own.

Indigo looked up to find her in his blue gaze, her petite form surrounded by the field of flowers as she carried a perfect bouquet between her jaws. Indigo felt a deep warmth surge through him and he found himself grinning up at her. He needed this. Indigo needed these moment to remember that life was worth living, that sorrow was not the only emotion he could feel. Some days it felt like just that, especially when he had to be separate from Aslatiel. But Duchess kept him sane, she gave him hope, and she was here in this beautiful field of flowers with him. There wasn’t much more Indigo could ask for.

Duchess looked up to him, but instead of the warm smile he wore there were tears in her eyes. Indigo’s features fell like the flowers in his grasp as he stepped forward to kiss away the tears from her eyes. He breathed in the scent of her with the perfume of the fragrant flowers that surrounded them, but he said nothing. Blue eyes slid closed and for a moment it was just the two of them in the whole world.

Duchess watched the flowers fall from Indigo's grasp and she still wouldn't realize the gentle tears until he moved forward to wash them away. Still, she wouldn't feel embarrassed or even care to admit the exact feelings behind them. Maybe it was because of the intense high, she found herself in a dangerous low and the feeling of missing Indigo was overwhelming. Her own insecurities becoming more clear to her after she had put them behind her in the moments leading up to now. She didn't want to voice them. She had already told Indigo she would follow him where ever he went, her devotion to him was an open book or at least she thought she had made that clear. She still did push gently into his touch as he wanted to rid her of the aftermath, but there was still something off about her demeanor. She looked back down at the flowers he had dropped, eventually lowering her head to grab what he had forgotten about, "Let's go back to the castle." She insisted, still not really looking like herself. But she almost felt like she just had to walk it off, and hopefully by the time they made it back home she would be better. Walk "Talk" Think
