Where There Is Desire

Indigo enjoyed spending time with Duchess and hiding away in their time off. Finding a secluded place and kissing the morning away. He wanted the affection more than anything, especially with everything he had weighing on his shoulders. Indigo wanted to forget and to get lost in Duchess. They did hardly know each other, but Indigo saw no wrong in their actions. He liked cuddling as much as he enjoyed just walking with her, and getting to know the wolf she was.

Duchess responded to his question easily, giving him two options. Red meat and salmon, both were excellent choices and Indigo couldn’t argue with them. He wasn’t a great hunter or fisher but he’d remember… just in case. ”Wait, Sloth?” That was one animal he wasn’t eager to attempt. ”Hmm. I guess if you want to try.” He wouldn’t be convinced until they were there. Duchess told him she wanted her lunch cooked, and she did well to remind him of Iolaire and the foods she used to prepare. Indy tried not to dwell but Duchess’s next question took him right back to his childhood.

Indigo looked away and hid the tears that threatened his eyes. He was having trouble denying how homesick he was these days. ”I love honied strawberries.” Indigo admitted to her quietly, remembering the treat like he’d only had them yesterday. He couldn’t wait to have a strawberry patch to make his own.
