IANTO
there's a bulletproof bond
"Anytime, my dear," Ianto smiles as she takes his arm, the fox arching a coppery brow as she continues and treats him further with her name. "Hazel," he repeats, tasting the word in his mouth before nodding as if committing it to memory. "What a lovely name. For a lovely woman, it seems." Here his smile becomes a touch mischievous; he can't help his crookedness, and it manifests in several different ways. Charm, at least, is the nicest.
They walk together, a slow stroll with the river singing at their side, Ianto shortening his steps so that they might easily continue their conversation. She asks about Arduinna, and whilst it still causes a small twist of discomfort in his core, he doesn't mind. Most are curious about the tale, and he is accustomed to telling it.
"I fell into the Greatwood close to a year ago, now. I come from the same place as many of those behind the barrier, but for whatever reason I was dropped here instead. I didn't know anything of my surroundings, of the woods... Arduinna found me and took me in before I could hurt myself too badly. She is my godmother, of sorts, and I am her charge."
