only whispers can tell

He held her and it was exactly what she needed. Aslatiel continued to sob, no doubt soaking her brother's thick purple coat with her tears. Indigo held her and assured her that he loved her. That made her cry even louder. Gods, she was so, so sad! Sorrow had been her every day companion since the pups had been born. She didn't know why and she couldn't explain it, but she also couldn't beat it.

Pulling back just enough so that she could breathe, Asla spoke through her sobs. "I'm so sad," she blubbered, still holding tight to him. Her purple eyes went wide and she gave her head a shake. "I can't beat it. It's the only enemy I've ever been defeated by." She couldn't tell Indigo that she'd considered throwing herself in the ocean or off of a cliff just to get the sadness to stop.

"The children are fantastic. They're the only reason..." she trailed off, burying her face in Indigo's chest again. "They're old enough to stay with their father's for a while. I need to get away from here." She gave her head a shake, but still wasn't ready to extract herself from his embrace. At least the crying had died down some. She had desperately needed that release of emotion.
