stay with me

She supposed she should have expected Indigo to come find her to try and convince her again not to leave. The big sappy man had proven he was tenacious and caring, and when he set his mind to something he did not deviate from his course. Still, it was pretty touching to find him skulking around her room like a nervous adolescent trying to find the words to confess a crush. She shot him a crooked smirk with an intrigued raise of a brow. "Is that so?" she asked with a pensive hum in her voice. "I'm glad to hear you're fully recovered, Indigo. You had everyone worried to death, me especially." It had been no secret that Em blamed herself for what happened to Indigo. Seeing him standing on his own, no longer in pain, it lifted the grief and guilt from her heart. He told her he wanted her to stay with them. Told her, not ask. The same way Segin had done when he'd propositioned her.
"I see," said Emersyn, glancing down at the floor and away from the large, handsome purple wolf, pretending to be thinking it over. So he didn't know she had already agreed to stay. Segin must have kept his mouth shut about that. Well, she could have a little bit of fun with that. Turning her eyes back up to meet Indy's deep blue eyes as rich as beautifully faceted sapphires, she breathed a soft sigh and pushed open the door to her suite while trying to appear pensive and non-committal. "Come inside. I think we need to have a heart to heart." She had already agreed to stay, but she wanted to hear what Indy had to say. The poor guy had clearly been putting a lot of thought and effort into this and she didn't want to deflate him like that. Besides, she was curious about how he'd try to win over her mind.
Emersyn stepped into the suite, walking over to the fur rug in front of the unlit fireplace beside her bed and sat back on her haunches. She turned her duo-toned eyes back to her savior and company, patting the rug beside her. "Shut the door behind you," she requested. Although she was partially teasing him, she did mean it when she said they needed a heart to heart. If Emersyn was going to stay with them, Indigo needed to know exactly who she was and what she had endured. She couldn't put them in possible danger without them knowing how she had come to be. Once they were alone and left in the quiet of the suite, she cocked her head curiously and said, "You really want me to stay, don't you?" The volley had been served. How would Indigo send it back to her now, she wondered?
