my shallow heart

Duchess gave the brute space while he contained himself, his collected sniffle noted but not called out. She raised a brow as he tried to insist he was fine, but it seemed he could barely lie to himself.

She tried to give him a small smile of her own, as if to put the state he was in behind them. That didn’t mean it wouldn’t linger on her mind from here on out. She would wait for a different time to give him consolation, that was, if they ever met again.

“My name is Duchess. It’s nice to meet you Indigo.” His name was fitting for him, perhaps unlike her own. Maybe her more darkened appearance was what gave her parents the idea for her naming. Not that they stuck around long enough to find out. Duchess believed that she was not good enough for her parents, while she was not good enough for her lover. She felt not strong enough, not pretty enough, and overall just a failure. Not that she showed it outwardly the same as Indigo and his entire facade, though he did well to change from one state to another.

She sat up, still giving him the gentle smile she started with. “Why did you decide to come out here alone then?” She wasn’t teasing him, more trying to move out of the dreary feelings he chose to mask. The smell of the pack nearby she caught on to, but she wasn’t exactly familiar with anything other than the loner life she lived with just her and her lover.
