Kar would smile gently when he saw his beloved. The growths had him worried tremendously, but he knew Nalyda would not lie to him. She was a healer herself and felt there was nothing that could be done for them. Surely she would have tried all that she could. The man would give a gently nuzzle to her cheek, trying to smile through the worry.
“I know, my beloved. I just... I guess I want to be selfish and keep you here on this earth with me.” He would give a lick to her ear. “I know that this last litter was something you were looking forward to as well... So... I wanted to ask if you felt strong enough to try one last time.” Kar would look into her crimson orbs.
“Though if not I can understand.” He’d say softly.
