Indigo took her into his arms again and she offered him no resistance. She clung to him as he held to her. He could feel the desperation as much as he could hear it in her voice. She couldn’t go back, she said it to him before but she would again. There was no future out there with her father or as a slave. He showed her what her life should have been, if she had a real caring father. ”You’ll be with me, I promise.” He wouldn’t leave her, for as long as he lived he would make certain she was cared for. He would do so personally if that was what she wanted, she deserved it after everything she had been put through.

He felt her tense as he touched her ears and Indigo pulled back slightly, returning to holding her against his chest. He wanted to be where she was comfortable, he didn’t want to press her and he didn’t want her to chance for his sake. Holding her like this was more than he thought he would ever get to spend with her. ”I know you don’t want to go back, but where do you want to be going forward?” Indigo asked her softly, they’d talked about her talents a little bit, but the question was more than what she wanted to occupy her time with. Now that she had been given a glance of freedom what did she want to do with it? "Besides cuddling like this." He chuckled softly as he barely refrained nuzzling her ears again.
