INDIGO
SOFT BREATH, BEATING HEART
AS I WHISPER IN YOUR EAR
I WANT TO FUCKING TEAR YOU APART
It did not take long for this Brother of hers to arrive. She watched as he approached with the rabbit in his mouth, her ears giving a twitch as he tossed it towards her. She moved to sniff it, but her stomach did not agree that she needed to eat. There was a feeling like it was already full and bile threatened to rise up in her throat should she try and fit anything else in there. With a rather irritated glance, she looked up at her brother, before reaching around and snapping at the air near her belly. Sister Vasily was good at understanding what she meant, but she did not expect Brother Avtandil to be much the same. Indigo shrugged her shoulders, nudging the rabbit away with one paw. According to her stomach, it was not time to eat. She couldn't remember the last time she had eaten, but the feeling inside there made it impossible.
She followed his gaze towards Iromar, ears flattening against her skull. She gave a small growl of frustration and anger. Sister Vasily had run away, leaving her behind, and there was a sense of betrayal that she felt. Her scent did not linger around the border, she had not come here. But even in the days before, Indigo had noticed a change in her. Subtle, but it was there, and the mute girl had always been rather observant. Her mind struggled to make sense of what it all could mean.
Indigo glanced upwards when he mentioned that she might stay. She shrugged her shoulders as if to say 'where else would I go' and looked up at him with a confused expression. There was nothing left for her in the moors. Leader Pine had been overthrown, though she did not know the specifics. And none of her family remained there. She moved forward, placing herself staunchly against her brother's foreleg, pressing against it. It was not an affectionate movement, it was a possessive one, instinctively clinging to the only member of her blood that she could find.
