Momijigari

Location: Wildberry Grove

Duchess had been spending more time away from the band, and it had resorted to spending nights away from them and more. She was straining her relationship with almost all of them. Or maybe it was already strained before. She had a big issue with the wolves who shared Indigo's life, but she chose to suffocate those feelings as they moved on to bigger things. Indigo was living his dream, or maybe moving towards something he wanted. She ruined it all. It was her fault that he was in the condition he was in and the rest of the band was suffering somehow emotionally from it. Maybe not as bad as her and Indigo though.

She tried to take trips down here to the grove to collect the berries, but it also gave her her own free time and her own space. It felt like it was what she needed, or she thought. She was getting over the sickness feeling of being pregnant, but she still wasn't so completely noticeable. Maybe a little, it was another one of those things she just chose to ignore.

While she wandered the the grove, picking vines of berries and storing them in a basket she had with her, she nearly didn't notice the dark and orange man in front of her from the shine of the golden trees and the fallen leaves that had been what really announced his presence. She was in a close proximity to him, but only smiled gently before going back to picking the berries from the bush she was at. Some didn't want company, but if she was honest with herself, she did. Because she was feeling so out of place now a days among who she created this family with. But time would only tell how desperate she was for a friend.
