Bright sparks

The Warlord was coated in dirt by the time the soil was ripe for what he wished. He pulled the plants off the cart. Bright, colourful things that Halo assured him would manage in the brisk temperature this high up the mountain - with a little care, and a windbreaker. He was part way through planting the fifth plant when his surprise was spoiled, and Andy appeared on the high point of the trek up to First Light Point. He gave her a smile, caught in the act, and dusted off his legs. "Andy, a moment?" He said, not wishing her to vanish into her observation post immediately. 


He had noticed a change in the girl recently. A gloom across her bright and sunny personality. It had stated about the time she had requested her visit to the Hallow, and he found himself uncertain what was bothering the girl - but he was sure it must be connected. He leaned on the empty plant pot and waited for her to close the distance between them. "Andy… is there something going on with you? I hope you know you can talk to me about anything." He said softly, opening up a paw in an invitation for a hug.
