"And what about.. having pups?" -Khari licking her paw as she glances at Keanu-

-josh sniffles as tears roll down his cheeks- "he fucking murdered her. and all he got was 5 months in prison and a stupid black mark on his record. do you know what it is like having to watch your own farther beating the shit out of your brother after finding your sisters dead body still in his hands?! well! do you?! that is why i don't talk about my past! because my family is in shreds, my brother hunts the most beautiful animals on the planet and now that i am trying to move on and get a family started i am having to talk about things that not even therapy could help me with!"

"Talk to me like that again. and you won't have a family. You wanna get revenge? Fine. Do it yourself." -Scarlet walking into the bedroom she closes the door-

-Khari shrugging as she looks at her paws- "Do you ever think about having pups?'
