You Can See My Heart

Duchess still hadn't changed much. She stayed to herself most of the time, her attitude hadn't changed. But how she was perceiving her feelings was quite different than how she actually felt. Well maybe she was a little angry that Indigo wasn't there for her when she had last asked of him. Which really felt like ages ago, really.

So much had happened since she found out she was pregnant... since Indigo had told her. Aslatiel had left, the 'trial' had gone through, Draco was dead. But everything that had happened, she didn't feel any different. Just like Indigo felt numb, or tried to, she was nearly in the same position. Burdening to the others, feeling like all she had to do was stay out of their way, it's really what even got her through the day. Gypsy and Segin had spoken up kindly, but she still felt like she had let them down.

After pulling the net of a handful a fish from the grande, she nestled herself in her own den, somewhere she had made away from the others. Her legs ached from the weight she was starting to carry. Not from the net, but from her own body. And while she felt more physically able instead of tired and weak, her body was taking other tolls as the pups grew bigger. She slept less now a days, but it didn't stop her from staying in the den most of the day.
