How's It Feel Sitting Up There

Indigo was doing a good job at keeping himself together recently, but when he started thinking too hard it all came crumbling around him. Indigo was fragile despite his tough exterior. Duchess knew exactly how to hit him too. She certainly made her point and he was brought from perfect welcome home to realizing how far he had fallen. Duchess was at his side then, touching him softly as she tried to comfort him despite everything. She very nearly apologized as she reached up to kiss him softly. He leaned into her affection, but he wouldn’t as easily forget what she said. He didn’t press anything even as she went on.

”Very tired,” He spoke softly as he lifted himself to his paws and turned to go back to the rooms where he assumed that Gypsy still remained. He wanted to see her after being gone. He looked back to Duchess, knowing that she wasn’t wrong and the reason he felt so terrible was all his own fault. Because he was letting his heart get ahead of his duty. ”We’ll start training after I rest up a bit.” He tried to hide the emotion from his voice but Indigo felt his failures in that moment more keenly than ever.
