'hi!' from inside the den, indra stirred. 'hi!' she cast her gaze outwards, towards the sunny courtyard where lucas' form wriggled, dappled by sunmotes. stiffly, she rose to her tired limbs and prowled quietly after him, her eyes resting on the bird that had captured the boy's attention. 'hi!'
she smiled to herself, reminded that there was some good in this world -- the childish wonder lucas exhibited, and his sweet discovery of a new word was enough to momentarily banish indra's near perpetual sulleness. soon, lucas would master other words too, and she hoped he would remain as sweet and as ebullient as he was now.
"hi!" indra chirped back to him quietly, indulging herself in a bit of play. the bird likely would not return lucas' greeting, but indra would.

now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turning gold,
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
and like the sky, my soul is also turning.
