Sweet as pie

Segin spent the morning going out to the near by grove that just seemed absolutely packed with berries of all kinds and filled up one of the smaller packs that Indigo kept around for their herb gathering trips. He thought they would be a great accompaniment to the meals that Duchess prepared and it gave him a reason to go out exploring on his own for a bit so it served double duty in that regard. He was slowly getting more and more comfortable around the castle and around his new family and as he walked back into the castle a smile pulled across his face without him even trying.

He was learning his way around the big stone structure pretty well, though he really only bothered learning how to get to the suites where they lived, the food stores, and the infirmary. If he knew this was going to be their permanent home he'd be more interested in learning every inch of it, but since Indigo had spoken of them maybe leaving as a band in the not too distant future he didn't worry about it too much.

His path took him by Gypsy's room and he paused, looking at the door curiously for a moment. He hadn't gotten to spend much time with the small woman yet - partially because he was afraid of frightening her unnecessarily. She seemed so quiet and timid but in a way that drew him to her more. She reminded him so much of his sisters and it tugged at his heart. He approached the door cautiously, calling, "Gypsy? I just collected a bunch of berries... Would you like some?"
