Hug it out

She nodded and smiled as Mortis reinforced what she had already learned, saying how hurting herself ended up hurting the ones she loved too. It was a lesson she wished she had learned before she had nearly ruined her chances with Artorias, but what had been done was done and now she just had to focus on making it up to him and making their relationship even stronger. She grinned as his wing draped around her and she leaned into him, thinking again how grateful she was that her older brother was back in her life. She loved all of her siblings so much and the fact that most of them were distant at best hurt her more than she ever wanted to admit. She had gotten closer with Asla, Mortis was back with her, so now she just needed to find Indigo again and spend more time with him. She wouldn't be able to reconnect with Azure now, but... That wasn't something she even had a choice of fixing right now.

He questioned her and Art and she gave him a shy grin, her face flushing as she nudged him with her shoulder and chuckled, glancing away bashfully. "Yeeeeeah, me and Art," she agreed, giggling with her tail brushing the ground as it swished happily. "We've kinda been together for a while... I mean we've known each other forever, but really I guess after Resin started getting sick and after we found out about mom and Azure. He really helped with getting through all of that and I helped him through the stuff with Resin so... We've been really close since then." She peeked up at him, adding, "Maaaaaybe don't mention it to dad just yet though... I know he knows me and Art are close, but I don't know if he knows like how close so... I'd rather him not try to kill Art while he's here." She grinned and chuckled at the thought. They both knew how protective and possessive their father was so navigating that mine field was going to be tricky.
