For You, With Love

The pair of children sat beside one another, each leaning on the other. Asla closed her eyes, filing the moment away in her box of happy childhood memories. Reaching up, she again kissed the side of Indy's muzzle. "We can weed Aunt Io's garden, but you'll have to show me what a weed looks like." Aside from the obvious differences, all plants looked the same to Aslatiel. They were green and grew from the ground. A lot of them didn't look useful at all, but she was probably wrong. It wouldn't do to go ripping out things that weren't supposed to be ripped out. "You just say the word and we'll surprise her, okay?"

Asla was content to simply let the moment continue for as long as Indigo would hold still. She reveled in their relationship. The equality that Indigo wanted between them was touching and thoughtful. It bred such a fierce loyalty in the girl. There was nothing that she wouldn't do for him.
