welcome to my nightmare

Gypsy accepted his offer of some lunch with a polite nod, and even if she couldn’t see it Indigo grinned slightly. She wasn’t quite so jumpy around him anymore, she seemed content with his agreement and silence fell over then as everything was settled. Indigo took note of his different her gait was now as opposed to her first few steps into the castle. He knew it wasn’t ideal, but he did feel proud of her progress. Indigo practiced his patience with her, and his efforts were paying off. Just as he thought the first day, only time and repetition would bring her round. He had to continue to prove his words to her. Every day.

The pair continued onward through the courtyard, Gypsy was at his hips. She seemed to find her place perfectly beside him there, his tail helping to guide her. Not that she had much trouble anymore. She learned more quickly than she gave herself credit or, and Indigo could see her doing a great many things even if she couldn’t… see it.

Just as the thought to her credit entered his mind Indigo glanced back at the tiny star marked girl, and saw her begin to tumble. She cried out, but Indigo was there, ready to catch her delicate form. Gypsy fell forward and landed against Indigo’s thick mane. One massive red slashed arm pulled up immediately to help steady the small she wolf. Indigo stilled, providing support so that she could regain her footing with much more grace than had she hit the ground. ”I’ve got you.” Indigo assured her quietly, resisting pressing his nose to the soft fur behind her pretty pink ear. She was so close, but he didn’t act. He didn't move beside helping her to the bottom of the stairs.
