Karter | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Storm | Location: Forest
"I didn’t know Nadia was pregnant!" Karter yelped, eyes widening. That was certainly a first. She wouldn’t start showing for at least another couple weeks though, surely! Even so, if she was able to work as any other wolf was, then by Pack law, she was obligated to continue her duties. On one hand, Terra had lost a Trainee and was distressed, on the other hand, trying to tell off an Alpha…that took audacity. Karter slowly breathed out. Why was he even surprised? "Uh…no, you’re not a Lead, but…Leads were regular ranks like us. What’s to say they know any different?" He pointed out.
Karter came up short though when Storm declared that the Healer was outright denying her treatment. Was that even ALLOWED? He’d never heard a law against it, but morally? "I love my sister, I do, but that’s ridiculous. That’s the behaviour of a pup! We do our jobs because we have to, because it’s the best way for us to serve our Pack, and we don’t GET to pick and choose most of the time. If she ignores injuries obtained on a hunt or something and you get infected with something, that’s gonna affect more than just you, and it’d be her fault." Karter had always assumed himself the be the more…ah…troublesome one of the three, but apparently on occasion, he was not the most impulsive. He didn’t want to speak harshly of the sister who’d stayed with him when he needed her most, again and again, but he couldn’t help but catch a hint of Storm's fury. "And if she actually decides to deny treatment and it wasn’t just said in a fit of anger or whatever, then maybe Shadow SHOULD do somethin' 'bout it, sooner rather than later, before anyone can get hurt or another fight breaks out over it."
Karter couldn’t help but felt a tug at his heart when Storm spoke, the truest words he'd ever heard. They didn’t truly value someone until they were no longer there. "I dunno. Honestly, I keep my distance from most of the Pack. I knew the Healers okay, given I was in there a lot to help out when I was a Trainee, and when things get busy, but I never asked for details. He certainly never talked ‘bout a family." He reached over and gently licked Storm's ear. "Sorry to hear you had to deal with that last night. Musta been an exhausting day even WITHOUT that."
