Indigo’s vibrant blue eyes watched as the water of the rapids raced past right by his paws. The rocky outcropping was stained with algae and moss from the constant moisture, and the fresh scent of the life here met his nose pleasantly. The sun was hidden between intermittent clouds, it was almost uncomfortably warm when in the direct light, but couple with a dash of shade, cloud cover, and a soft breeze, it was a gorgeous day. A perfect one to be out with Aia.

He’d coaxed her into a nap under the fully leaved trees, as she got older he knew their naps together would become much more infrequent, and part of him savored this moment. He would have them forever. Indigo was stirring as late afternoon took them, and it was time to start thinking about doing their pre dinner lessons. They never really felt like learning when the two of them always had so much fun together.

The maned man let out a huge yawn as he hugged his little girl tighter, aiming to start waking her slowly from their nice sleep.
