A Fresh Start

Resin quickly looked up to give her attention to Indy and his companion. The nervousness didn’t abate, he still felt like he was living in deja vu. While his grandmother hadn’t forbidden him to bring anyone home this was the second small young girl he’d found and brought to her. Indy lowered his head slightly as she greeted him by name. Her hard eyes gifted quickly from his features to Cosette. She slid down his back, though he’d felt the tension in her limbs before she let go. He meant to bend down to allow an easier transition but she’d dropped without warning. He hoped she hadn’t hurt her sore paws.

She lowered her head and offered her name but Indigo took the reins in explaining. ”I was scouting nearby when she found me.” He started simply, ”She doesn’t have anyone else, I said I could offer her a big meal and a place to sleep.” He looked to Cosette, she hadn’t stated so clearly but he’d already assumed she wanted to stay here. Indy lifted his bright blue gaze to Resin’s golden eye, unsure how he could communicate how much Cosette had helped him already, just by needing him. ”I want to help her more than that though.”
