Larksong Grotto With apple blossom in her hair

short crappost to not hold anyone up <3

indra was torn, in more ways than she ever had been in her life. her mother's lilting speech caused indra's eyes to momentarily brighten with hope, and her tail to wag slowly - casmir's too -- indra was indescribably overjoyed to see her creek family again.

yet conflict pierced her joy like a knotched arrow, for she could not choose them before reek, or even laurel. she looked to the ground and slowly the conversation droned out into monotonous nothingness until indra could take it no more. with a soft sob the red child rose to her feet and fled from them and their insufferable choices - choices she could not in good conscience make.
