we swam the evening away

Indigo had been all healed up now, but Duchess was still filled with worry that he wasn't. It was at the forefront of her mind the entire travel over to the island. A vacation and much needed alone time with him they had planned, maybe before he was completely healed up. She had known that Indigo had gone out with Segin during his healing, maybe Emersyn, but Duchess had spent more time with him at night than during the day.

They exited the ocean waters, Duchess shook quick which was easy with her small frame. But she was instantly hit with the spray of Indigo's massive shake. She wouldn't be mad, instead looking at him with a silly smirk as he looked at her, and then shaking again herself.

She moved into him when he approached her, taking in his affections that weren't much different than they were at the castle but they felt different while they hadn't been out together in so long. Her eyes opened, looking forward to the strong structures she couldn't quite see through the foliage and vegetation of the forests. She could see the different sizes of ships along the coast, some that had nearly sank and filled with the ocean entirely. She moved forward, her expression with a slight bit of awe, "It's beautiful Indigo."

She kept going on, she only eyed the ships from the sea. She had no interest in really jumping onboard, they didn't seem entirely safe to do so. But still, she admired them from the sands, looking up at one particular massive one with broken windows and a rusted hull.

She turned and moved towards the forest, starting her journey towards the buildings that had been taken over by nature, stopping a far distance with it just in her view, "I've never seen anything like this." It reminded her of the castle, but somehow it was much different. And with the wolves occupying the castle, it was being kept clean and maintained. These buildings looked like no one had lived here in centuries.
