down and dirty

Indigo didn’t understand where his brother was coming from, how hard was it to get along with your own brother for one night? What had happened between the two that they didn’t even want to look at each other, or would make Azure disappoint their small sister? Indy was at a loss. ”It doesn’t have to be.” He answered back quietly, feeling his own disappointment building. ”Why can’t you two just put aside your differences for one night?” He asked desperately. ”I don’t even know why you can’t get along in the first place,” his frustration was showing through as well. ”We’re brothers, we’re supposed to love and take care of each other.” He argued, feeling as though he should have been making headway.

Even if he didn’t like Mort that didn’t change where his loyalties should lie. If he could so easily disregard their brother and his feelings what stopped Azure from doing the same to Indigo or Aslatiel? ”Why can’t you just do this for Asla?” He felt his fur bristle slightly, he should have stopped by now and gone to talk to aunt Iolaire again, but he hated how much animosity sat between Mortis and Azure and he had no idea how to fix it. His frustrations certainly were not helping anything.
