Standing Still

He promised that he wasn’t going to leave Cosette, and he hadn’t, but distance had grown between them. The massive man had his goals and responsibilities to attend to, and wasn’t able to spend all of his time with Cosette anymore. He was always there when she asked for him, but he felt like he hadn’t heard her voice since he asked her to join the future band. She wasn’t ever far from his mind though, he never forgot a promise and sought to find her now. Indigo didn’t see her in the suites and he decided to take a patrol as he searched her her small frame.

Indigo’s massive paws carried him through the now tall grasses of the plains. His pace was slow and his head lifted to the sky to hopefully catch her scent. He wasn’t sure what her daily routine had been, or where her mind was these days. He knew she was struggling and Indigo wanted to give the girl time to either find her head or find her way back to him.

Too much time had passed since they had been together, and Indigo felt himself worrying for the sweet girl. He continued his walk, both patrolling the border and searching for Cosette. Evening had long fallen over the lands and with every step he took more and more stars appeared in the sky above him. Brilliant blue eyes lifted to the beautiful infinity above, he paused for a moment but caught movement from the corner of his eye at the same time the scent of Cosette filled him.

”Cosette?” He called out softly as he turned his huge frame to approach her slowly. She looked much like he left her, lost and confused, as though the space and time that he gave her was far from enough to settle her soul. ”Are you alright?” He followed up even softer as he lowered his haunches beside her, and carefully offered a nuzzle to her neck.
