Time's Up

Segin really was too nice for his own good. And while he gave Duchess what she wanted, she didn't take it genuinely. She was starting to believe that no one understood her. But maybe that was because she had retracted into herself too. She was constantly hearing things she didn't want to, and only wishing everything could go her way.

She laid down into him, not speaking anything about it afterwards. Maybe it showed her disappointment but just like with Indigo, she just wanted to forget about it.

The moon had started to go dark through the skylight in the cave, "Just hold me?" Her quiet words were almost begging. It was never enough for her, and she felt like she was never enough for anyone. But that wouldn't lead her on a path of leaving. She was too reliant on what Indigo gave her, and maybe even Segin too. As the cave grew darker in seconds, she clung to him as she felt silent tears on her cheeks. It would be harder for her to fall back into sleep from here.
