She wasn’t as receptive to his touch as he wanted, all Indigo wished to do was comfort her and lead her to safety. He wanted her to see joy and happiness and he wanted to remove the terrible terrors that held onto her tightly. He was surprised when she spoke up again, and revealed the way her mind was working. Indigo tried to reassure her, but he was doing exactly what others before him had done with ill intent. Indigo grit his teeth and pulled away from her slightly, disgusted with the world and what it had done to the girl. Indigo could have told her that he wouldn’t ever lie to her, but that was just more meaningless words. He’d have to prove himself over the course of time. There was no magic incantation to truly reveal his intentions.

Gypsy struggled to her paws, obviously ready to obey and finally make it to the hallows. She didn’t say as much, but he knew his touch wasn’t welcome. She was so weak, he didn’t want to force her to walk. She was obviously led by a leash, but Indigo wondered if he couldn’t help make her more independent by suggesting she follow the sound of his paws through the grass. ”Do you want to walk?” He asked softly before he lifted himself to his paws. Indigo wanted to be selfish and put her back in his mane, but she deserved better than that. He wanted her to have a choice.
