I just can't stop myself

He hated that he had to give Indigo this task. He didn't want to have to burden the young man with this, but there was no one else. Perhaps by now his own son could have been strong enough to do it - Ezra was very nearly his height already - but Indigo would have to face the task with him.

His ears folded back against his head when silence fell in the dungeon again before he stepped up to the door of the cell, holding the bar of metal in place before pushing his weight into one end while Indigo pushed down on the other, eventually making the ends meet and then go past each other.

He glanced toward Indigo before he turned to leave, letting the young man stay behind for a moment if he wished. But for now he needed to start figuring out where he would even begin.
