under the moonlight

Everything settled down after the party and the Armada grew quiet, during a lull in activity Indigo had sought out his dear sister to steal her away for the evening. Hopefully no one would notice their escape but he had a line prepared. They were going to watch the stars, over the last few days he’d noticed more and more shooting stars. He couldn’t help but think that they would make their grand finale tonight. What better activity than to share the meteor shower with his stargazing sister?

He brought along a pack filled with anything they might need. A sip to drink, a little honey, some of aunt Io’s famous dried venison. He was ready to go out and just spend some alone time with his sister, they always had to be so far away. Without the possibility of being seen they could be as close as they wanted. He hated keeping a secret like this, especially with feeling so strongly for Aslatiel. She was literally his other half, being forbidden to show the affection he had for her was stifling.

The violet boy grinned as he bumped his sister’s shoulder lightly in the fading light. They hadn't made it too far from the Armada, but far enough that he felt they wouldn’t be observed. He hadn’t seen any of their parents companions, he was almost certain they’d escaped without detection. They were free. The sun was setting when the pair arrived at the falls, Indigo hadn’t intended to stop so close but they’d gotten a late start. ”I think we should stop here.” He decided, speaking softly in her close proximity.
