Kar frowned deeply as the female responded. She sounded worn down... almost as if she had given up her hopes. The gray wolf sat down, taking no offense to the waspish tone the she-wolf had spoken to him in. What was her story? What had brought her to this point? Kar had never before met a wolf who was so down. The brute let a small, warm smile come across his face. He was sure that the she-wolf needed a friend... and probably a good rest.

"Well, yes, you are alive and breathing. But I see know that your state has more to it than that. As far as being okay... I don't know if you are. But that is alright." Kar perked his ears up, watching the other wolf with interest. "Should you choose to share your story with me I can offer some form of comfort, or at least what I would hope would be comforting to you. Maybe before that though... if you'd like... I could get you something to eat?" He hoped he wouldn't be seen as a pest. It was just in his nature to try and help others.
