to the waters edge

Thinking about Rue was never easy. Aslatiel helped him through the first part of his grief, and he coped enough to get on with life. He didn’t often mention to anyone that he still had nightmares about that day. How her scream continued to haunt his dreams. Maybe Cosette would help to ease the memories, he did better with company. Indigo wasn’t ready to talk about her right now, but he didn’t mind her philosophy. Dark ears lowered to his skull as she spoke similar sentiments, sometimes you had to weather the hard memories. ”It’s easier when I’m not alone.” He confessed softly, deep voice rumbling in his massive chest.

”No, don’t be afraid to say whatever is on your mind.” He told her softly as he looked back over his shoulder. ”I think it would do me well if I tried to think more like that.” Indigo smiled softly and returned his eye to the horizon, the hallows were just over the crest of the hill. You could already see the tallest of the towers.
