Indigo wasn’t uncomfortable but he hadn’t gotten comfortable either. The massive violet wolf just tried to stay busy with his responsibilities. Like today, going out into the wide world instead of cleaning the dark and dingy castle. Indigo was quite used to structures. Like his aunt’s little cottage or his greenhouse. Much like a flower though, Indigo needed the sun. He was often in the courtyard or on the roof when he had to be near the structure.

He tried not to think of what he didn’t have, it was easy to get sucked into those terrible emotions. Instead Indy focused on the steady rhythm of his paws when Askan finally caught up to him. Indigo spared him a glance and a quick nod, but neither were there for a social call. Indy quickly fell in line to the higher ranked man.

They might have walked in silence the whole way had the sound of a strange animal reached them. Indigo’s features perked much like Askan’s as he caught a glimpse of movement in the dormant vegetation. Eventually he could make out two dark round bodies and the longer he watched the more certain they were coming towards them. Indy gave a questioning look to Askan as he positioned himself better behind some bushes since no matter what he was looking at, it would be better if he wasn’t seen.
