The stars in your eyes

Segin noticed how when he declared that they had another fighter to be part of their band her expression changed, showing some sort of conflict and discomfort in her two-toned gaze. His grin faltered a bit and his head tipped with a questioning glance. Wasn't she staying with them? Maybe he just assumed so since all the other wolves Indigo had brought home were now a part of their growing band, but was that not the case? His ears flicked uncertainly and he glanced down with a bit of disappointment at the dandelion he was digging up while she spoke, telling him that his contributions didn't have to be physical and that she had seen how much he could make Indigo smile. A smile pulled at his lips at that with a quiet nod. It's more or less what Indigo had told him as well. Just him being happy made the larger man happy and he certainly did his best to at least keep a bright outlook for them all, but he still wished he could do more.

Still thinking about Emersyn's reaction to the idea that she'd stay with them, he frowned a little before bringing his silver gaze back up to hers. "Do you... not want to stay with us then?" he questioned as he turned to face her, his ears against his head. "It's... just that Indigo hasn't really found anyone else that is a strong fighter and I don't want him to have to do all the fighting all the time so... I know we'd be really grateful if you stayed," he insisted, pulling a hopeful smile onto his lips. He knew he couldn't make her stay, but knowing that there could be someone else there to help with protecting and fighting made him feel better and less afraid that Indigo might get hurt really badly again. He wasn't sure if he could take losing Indigo.

"It's okay if you really don't want to. I'm sure you have other plans or something like that," he added after a moment, glancing away toward the ground again. Just because he literally had nothing else didn't mean she didn't have other things in her life. It was presumptuous of him to think that she could drop everything to join their little band and he felt a little guilty for thinking so.
