He had indeed told her his name, but Krystalle didn't want to let on more than Mars already knew. She wouldn't admit to the rape, and she wouldn't admit to the being who committed it. He had been through enough in recent weeks that this new knowledge was not necessary. Instead, she tried to relax. Mars only managed to surprise her, however. He wanted to be there for her. He wanted to be there for them. Pale pink eyes watched him in silence as she puffed at the cigarette between her lips. White fingers wrapped around it as she exhaled, letting her hand fall to her side so she could acknowledge his words.
No, he didn't know Nayati or AniWaya, but Krystalle did and she knew it would be the best alternative to living with Mars himself. Nayati Utina had proven to be a wonderful friend, and she appreciated him more than words could say. It hadn't been easy for her to live in Nova Scotia. She would have rather continued the conversation about Nayati, but it seemed the Russo wanted to take it in another direction. Why wouldn't she tell them about him? Who would their father be if not Mars? Krystalle hefted a sigh from her lungs.
"It's hard 'nough for adults to understand what's wrong with you, Mars. You really thinkin' a puppy can? What happens when one've you is mean to 'em? How 'm I gonna explain that it's not your fault?" She shook her head. Maybe he wouldn't understand, or maybe he'd be offended, but she saw the truth in her words. She didn't know who would be their father, but it would not be Mars. For the better of the pups, it would not be Mars.
