Where Flowers Bloom

Indigo squeezed Meadow gently as she accepted his embrace. He felt her tears wet his fur, but he didn’t care. A smile displayed on his features, he would help to keep her happy and safe here in the Armada. Indigo vowed it to himself to make this place a home. Somewhere she belonged, especially in his garden. He didn’t release her for a long moment, but when she kissed his paw he knew he’d gotten his point across. Indy wasn’t a particularly talkative boy, his actions showed his emotions more than his words.

Then they worked. There was nothing like hard work to make you forget your troubles. Indy grinned as he worked and hummed happily deep in his chest for her. ”I agree.” He wondered if his brothers would benefit from taking care of a few of their own plants. Maybe Azure would cool off a little and Mortis would be much more confident in his abilities. Or Indy liked to think it so, in truth the plants would quite possibly die.

Finally their hard work would be put to use, the seeds would be put into the ground. He nodded excitedly when the woman told him the seeds were just as excited as they were. New tiny plants just waiting to burst into life. Indigo took his seeds in awe and stared at them for a long moment before placing them carefully into their new homes. Meadow looked back up to him, the very last step and then they could water them.

Indigo mirrored her movements in mixing his dirt and compost. He’d have to find some mulch for them too. ”My dad built my greenhouse. Before that my sister made me a tiny garden because I loved Iolaire’s so much. My mom has always called me her flower, maybe that has to do with my love of plants.” He answered softly as he covered his seeds with dirt one hole at a time until they were all patted down gently and in place.
