Whats out there?

Indigo walked along beside his badger companion as they headed toward the ocean. Out of everyone he had Short Round was the one who’d seen him through everything. They were best friends, enjoying gardening together, looking for plants, testing out soil. Indy was lonely, but at least he always had her warmth beside him. They hadn’t really picked a permanent place to call their own. Testing out a few rooms in the castle where nothing had felt really right. They’d stayed out under the stars at the plains and that felt closer but it was cold and lonely without a shelter. Not that his thick fur let him feel much of the cold weather.

He told himself he was patrolling but really Indigo was just wandering, lost in thought when he heard the dog’s voice a little ways away. Seemingly talking to himself. Indy looked over curiously, but didn’t much feel like entertaining company and kind of skirted by on his way through. He knew he should get to know his pack mates, but he wasn’t sure he’d be presentable company anyway.
