Feast for Four

Indigo got a huge smile from Azure as he settled down, but he didn’t fail to miss the stillness that overtook he and Mortis both as their winged sibling arrived. He returned his brother’s grin and looked to Aslatiel, wondering if she knew what was going on. He hermited himself away too much if he hadn’t yet noticed the tension between Mortis and Azure. She didn’t make any deal so Indy relinquished his question and allowed her to have his full attention, she deserved it.

She explained herself and Indigo grinned at her, his heart swelling with pride that his tiny sister had taken down the giant of a boar. Maybe she wasn’t nearly as delicate as Indy gave her credit for. Azure was quick to get up and give his appreciation, but as he moved to get his dinner Indigo caught the sight of Mortis as he offered a pleading glance to their sister before he turned around.

While Indigo had every intention of showing his appreciation and pride in his sister he was dumbfounded that Mortis wouldn’t. ”Mort?” He called out to their brother, his voice confused and concerned. How could he turn his back on them like that, after everything Aslatiel did for them? Brows furrowing Indigo leapt from his fur and loped ahead of Mortis to stop him from abandoning his siblings. ”What are you doing?” He asked softly, none of the accusation floating in his head showing through the concern in his voice.
