Indigo’s shout shook her almost to her core. She sensed that there was more to him than just protecting her. Protecting everyone. She put together what she knew about him, very little. But it was becoming more clear that what he had lost he blamed himself for. As Duchess did for her own doings. The saber cat was dead, under Indigo’s paws. Duchess approached gently, not entirely able to mask the small amount of fear she saw in the gentle brute. There were many things she couldn’t know about him by just a look, as he couldn’t with her. “Indigo,” she addressed, peering up from below him. As she stepped closer, her paw crushed the flower that had been placed in her fur by him just moments before. She felt a brush of disappointment to the destroyed piece of beauty, but Indigo’s health was much more important. “Are you okay?” He couldn’t really lie to her this time. Though it could have turned out much worse than it had. Indigo took care of the beast hastedly. But they should be moving on before more found them. Duchess reached her tiny muzzle up to Indigo’s own chin, sticking her tongue out to grab some of the blood he had dripping down off his maw. She liked him much better in a less terrifying appearance. She cared little about the scratches that happened on her own face, and was much more worried about his own wounds. |
