Save your tears

Emersyn hadn't expected anyone to follow her after the meeting, least of all Indigo. She knew Segin would give her the space she asked for, Gypsy was blind as a bat, and Duchess would only have come to rub her face in it even more. But Indigo... She'd caught sight of the purple giant lingering a short distance away between the ocean and the forest, just standing there and staring at her. All at once, Emersyn's pacing stopped, a paw held up in the air mid-stride. She stared back at him, feeling a flurry of all sorts of emotions churning inside her, clawing at her chest and twisting her stomach and heart around. So caught was the dusty violet fae that she didn't know what to do right away. She wanted to walk away from him, to ignore his presence and pretend he didn't exist, but she also wanted to slap him across his dumb dopey face and scream at him for all the things he'd led her to believe and the way he'd tricked and lied to her.

Caught between wanting to be in his face and wanting the entire world to be between them, Emersyn settled for staying where she was. Her paw dropped to the sand, but she made no efforts to come closer to him. Her body was tense, rigid, perhaps ready to spring into a run away from him or into a lunge for his neck, she didn't really know yet. Cobalt and aqua eyes narrowed while he stared him down. "What are you doing here?" she snapped at him from across the space between them, speaking loud enough for her voice to carry over the ocean's gentle waves. "Shouldn't you be back at camp, making sure your baby mama is being tended to?"

"Emersyn"
