As he neared, she found herself resisting the urge to snap at him; this was overcome. Mars remained submissive, cautious, and though she appreciated it, she also felt guilty. The situation was unpleasant for him. It was unpleasant for both of them. She watched, silent, as he looked over their pups; it only took a moment for him to realize one hadn't lived, and his offer to bury the small thing caused Krystalle to cover her maw. She hadn't wanted to think about it. Children weren't supposed to die. In her home, she had never heard of children dying; they had, of course, but the adults refused to bring this to light. She shook her head vehemently. "No, I can." She wanted to. Death in Nakzhi needed to be observed properly; it didn't change now that she was somewhere else.
Still, she allowed him to wrap the dead thing in some cloth and set it aside while she tended to the siblings. It was strange to gaze upon them, very much two small versions of their mother and father. Her mind went blank, even as he asked about names. It took a moment for the Latin woman to clear her throat and look to him. "Paz. Had a cousin, 'r something...her name was Paz, she was nice." It was really the only thing she could think of in the moment. No male names came into the front. She simply didn't want to think. He continued on to praise her, but she gave no response. Her eyes just remained focused on the puppies.
