Indigo hadn’t been actively doing much beyond running on autopilot the last few days. He couldn’t keep sulking, he knew that after the first terrible night. Patrolling, herb hunting, it all came second nature and as he shut down inside it was just about all he did beyond sleep. Which had been even worse recently. He’d wake up in the middle of the night too hot or too cold from the nightmare he’d started awake from. He never remembered but he was always too dsiturbed to get back to sleep very quickly.
The Fatalis man was attempting to doze back off after being startled awake. Head on his paws, laying on a thick bedroll. Rest was fleeting when his mind was racing, bouncing between his broken heart and the puppies on the way. He knew Duchess was close, but he hadn’t seen her since she avoided his question. He was nowhere near asleep when she tried to slip into his arms that night.
Like nothing happened she was trying to get back into his good graces, he was too tired and too hurt to do anything about it. She wiggled in against his chest, but he didn’t move to actively embrace her. He didn’t move to do anything at all. He should have pushed her away but he couldn’t put himself through the effort. Aslatiel’s words echoed in his head as the thought entered again. If Duchess hadn’t done this would Aslatiel still be here beside him, or was that simply the catalyst? He was more inclined ot believe the latter though he wanted to blame Duch. He wanted to put his own mistakes on her so he didn’t have to suffer through this ache of guilt and sorrow.
But he couldn’t. SO he remained motionless, trying to sleep, and try to occupy his thoughts with the future. They were going to be parents. The thought should have excited him, but Duchess had tainted the moment, she ruined the experience in taking their future into her own paws instead of coming to him like the partnership he felt was needed. Now their relationship would be strained at best, and that would be a shame to show their children.
