Blood ties

Indigo gave an amused chuckle as Kotori and Aslatiel both claimed Briar as their favorite sibling. Of course, Asla held that title for him, but he didn’t give voice as the two of them continued speaking. Indigo listened with interest, he had little interaction with Kotori, but he would be given all of his focus in show of the respect he was willing to give his younger brother. Ko mentioned a bit more wine and Indy gave another hearty chuckle. He was a sad drunk, and no one needed that here so Indigo had abstained.

It was not just amusing banter, Kotori went on to ask the two of them a couple of questions. Not quite personal but sort of all the same. Indigo had no reservations as Aslatiel poke up first. Indy glanced away from both of them as she told her story, frustrated at the lack of recognition after taking the weight of the armada on her shoulders while their family struggled.

He felt Aslatiel’s galactic gaze on him and shifted his own blue eyes back to her beautiful features, giving her a crooked smile as she explained their current position. ”My story is a bit less complex. When the Hallows departed for Auster I went with them to follow my teacher Meadow to continue my training in healing.” He explained simply. ”Instead of returning to the Armada when I was done I stayed because it fit me so much better. I only left when I tried to lead my own band.” Indigo was honest, but he felt a pang in his heart when he mentioned the nomads. He had his heart’s content, but he still missed the scattered members.
