When Gypsy moved forward on her own, Duchess would watch carefully but allow her to. She found the fireplace and stayed a safe distance away, feeling the warmth and knowing not to get too close. She only watched a few moments as Indigo finished putting together the meal, he offered her a genuine smile for her help but she was happy to do so. She wanted to care for Indigo’s band of castaways just as much as he did. Maybe because she was one herself. She was never one to boast about the things she had gone through, she certainly saw other’s experiences worse than her own. And generally didn’t find herself worthy of the love from Indigo, or anything alike. She did join them as he cut pieces for the three of them, offering Gypsy as much as she wanted. Duchess doubted that her stomach could suffer anymore than what Indigo had already served her, but she wouldn’t pester. She settled for her own piece of the meal, maybe not as good as her own cooking but sentimental to her. When she finished she laid by the fire with the other two, watching the flames and getting lost in what she believed the tiny girl had experienced. Now that she wasn’t busy tending to her, she could look back on what Indigo had told her and what she found on her body when they bathed. After a few moments lost in the crackling flames, she stood quietly and placed her forehead on Indigo’s while he was laying down and she was able. “It’s worse than it appears.” She whispered almost silently, but surely the blind girl could have caught on to her words, Duchess obviously had no experience with heightened senses. She didn’t think Gypsy could hear her, but she definitely didn’t mean any ill will towards her. She was finding herself just as concerned as Indigo. She was scarred much more heavily under the dirt and even discovered worse while she was mending her fur. Duchess was almost haunted by her shaking terrified in the bath with her, reminded of her own barriers. “I’ll meet you back at the room.” She spoke more loudly, pulling her head away from his with a gentle kiss on his cheek. When she was offering the alone time to them, she wasn’t expecting the kind that her and Indigo had shared. It was somewhat because of the girl’s own trauma that Duchess had peered into, but mostly she didn’t think there was anyone that could compare to herself through Indigo’s eyes. -Exit Duchess- |
