Indigo thought he’d managed to get out of babysitting duty when he’d left the Armada. He’d barely glanced his siblings so far, and a part of him felt guilt about that fact. Then again he’d drifted from his littermates so what was the difference when it came to the younger ones? He was in a new pack, he had many other responsibilities to keep track of. His time was spent helping Rue get better accustomed to pack life and now he was taking a couple of the Hallows ‘cousins’ out to gather some herbs. He kind of wondered if their mission had been given because of the infinite puppy energy the girls gave off.
He really had to focus today. Indy had two very precious puppies under his watch and he refused to let anything happen to them. This felt like a real first step towards adulthood, he was no longer a puppy anymore. He was the adult watching over the younger wolves. Indy offered the girls a smile whenever they looked at him, but his stoic expression reigned. He was alert to any danger that might threaten them, and if he thought hard enough about it Indy would admit his willingness to give his life to keep them safe.
Likely it wouldn’t come to that, this was an average foraging mission, but he was told that this was their first time very far from the territory. Indigo felt the pressure he was put on, but also the elation at being trusted with protecting the next generation. For the most part he wanted the girls to do the heavy lifting. If they were going to become healers one day they needed to know what they were looking for. Thankfully despite their excitement it seemed Bowen was eager to complete their task. She was enthusiastic about their quarry, and correct in what she’d been told.
”They are. I’ve never found one. I’ve only seen them after they’ve been harvested.” He told the puppy softly as his massive paws carried him forward. Indy had very little experience with Lady’s Slipper so hopefully this treck would be worth his efforts as well. While the girl’s learned their craft Indigo would do so as well. First they had to find it, and it seemed like searching would be the most difficult part of the task. Or at least he hoped so, he didn’t want to fight off something that thought a puppy would be a great snack.
