Oh No, Don't Let Me Go

Aslatiel loved Indigo so, so much. There was an unbreakable bond there that they'd formed within the womb. He was always there. Always a presence that she took comfort in. Now that they were out in the world, nothing had changed. She snuggled with him just as easily as she had when they were in their time of darkness. It would always be that way, she hoped.

Indy said that he would like to see the stars and he wanted to be introduced as well. The small girl gave him a loving squeeze, her head still between his ears. "You'll love them. I just know it." Talk went on to the garden and their Aunt Io. Asla also liked their aunt. The tiny little woman was always very kind and often had little surprises or snacks for them. "Maybe Aunt Io will show you how to make plants grow too. Maybe you can have your own plants." Perhaps she would ask her aunt about that on Indy's behalf. Might be a nice surprise for him.

Asla fitted her small frame a little more tightly against her brother's much larger form for comforts sake. One leg was still draped on either side of his neck and she held him close. "If you're going to stay up and watch the stars with me, you might need a nap first." She joked with a grin, giving her brother a gentle jostle.
