Darkened Spirits

As Aslatiel slept beside her friend, she gradually began to dream. We won't go into the details of that dream, but they were very purple. The girl cried silent tears as she slept, most likely wetting the paw beneath her cheek. Even in sleep she missed Indigo. The world just wasn't a fair place by any means. If you wanted something, you had to work for it. Had to fight for it. Well... they were doing both. Asla hoped that this plan they'd enacted would benefit them both. During their time apart they would grow in skill and confidence. They would learn to live without one another in return for the times in between where they came crashing together like a tsunami on the rocks.

How long she slept, she wasn't really sure. When the striped girl was roused from sleep, the position of the sun had changed. She blinked a few times, feeling the damp fur around her eyes. Asla sat up and quickly ran a paw over the tear marks, willing them away. Naiche couldn't see her like that. Tears were weakness. And sleep tears? She'd never live it down. Without another word, the young woman pushed out of the den, squinting against the glaring sun. She didn't rush off immediately, instead she sat off to the side and breathed in the cool winter air. Ghosts of steam escaped her nose as she repeatedly inhaled and exhaled. Again she swiped a paw over her damp eyes as she tried to harness her resolve.

Okay. Today was the first day with Indigo half a world away. She had urged him to distract himself, to learn and grow. Surely she should be doing the same. Really though... all she wanted to do was curl up in her den and sleep until summer.
