Must Have Been the Wind

As Cosette made herself comfortable, a part of Indy was able to settle. He wasn’t the same confident young boy he had been, but he was working hard to get there. He had the dainty little she wolf to take care of, to find comfort in and care for as she made her place within the Hallows. He liked having her perched on his neck like a scarf, they were fast friends and the closer she was the better he felt.

She answered him with another question and his red marked ears fell to his head as he avoided looking back over his shoulder. She seemed… hopeful? That assessment could only be his imagination too though, Indy wasn’t sure. He wouldn’t be until he replied. ”Um, yes. I’d… really like that.” Indigo returned softly, but his voice still rumbled deep in his chest. There would be no substitute for Aslatiel or Rue, but Cosette was swiftly creating her own unique place in Indigo’s heart. That made her all the more special, but much more dangerous if he ever lost her.
