Save your tears

Everything just seemed to go from awful to worse as the days went by. He’d been so high he hadn’t even seen where he was going. He’d been blind to Duch’s intentions and Aslatiel’s needs. He bore the guilt like one of the pack goat, carrying it with him with no idea where its finally destination might be. No idea if any part of his dream was even attainable now. The band was only just staying together, but it was staying together better than his broken heart. He had to thank Segin and Gypsy for keeping everyone together, he had been emotionally distant at best. Indigo had to throw himself into working for the band. He would have waited on every one of them hand and foot if he was able to.
The puppies were becoming more real everyday. The thought of being a father was a foreign one that he hadn’t been prepared to approach. His choice was taken from him. That was the true crime, but what if he had agreed when Duchess first propositioned him? What would the band look like then? Would he have been given the same result with Aslatiel or would everything have played out differently? He would never know, he was given what he had, and Indy had to try and rebuild with what was left. He hadn’t lost sight of his dream because it was becoming what little he had to hold onto.
Emersyn was very much a part of that dream, but he heard the venom in her voice and he had seen the fire in her eyes. Something he’d seen echoed in Duch’s. How was he going to repair a rift like that? It seemed almost hopeless that he could save this little family that had come together so beautifully, but fell apart even more quickly.
Massive paws unintentionally followed Emersyn’s path. She kept her head on during the meeting but he could see the rage beneath as he made his decision. Maybe it was better for him to hear her now, instead of allowing the feelings to fester. Better not to ignore an open wound. He stepped out onto the beach, his form obvious against the forest as he half intercepted her. Em could ignore him and keep walking, or approach and release her anger. Maybe they both needed a little of the latter.
