They held one another while the pain ravaged him. His sister had done a number on him and Gypsy had a feeling that the woman was already regretting her words. If she wasn't regretting them, then she was an idiot and wasn't deserving of Indigo's love. The way that she had spoken and the word that she chose... It was like Gypsy knew that Aslatiel was also in pain. The woman wasn't her concern though. Indigo definitely was.

Indigo returned the sentiment, much to her surprise. She didn't think he'd be able to say it aloud. Not when his love had just taken a chunk out of his heart. The woman squeezed him lightly and kissed him right between the eyes. "I know." She would stay here with him for as long as he needed. Only when he was able to get to his paws and chose to leave her side would she leave his. "You aren't alone," she reminded him. "You'll never be alone." Gypsy would always be here for him. He had saved her life and so it belonged to him.
