Quinn slowly lifted a paw, inviting the pup to lean into her fur for warmth. She kept her head low and her stance unthreatening. At least she’d persuaded the pup to come out into the open. She hadn’t expected her to be quite as trusting. Quinn didn't quite know how know how to respond to her question. This was only a pup she was speaking to. What did she know about the virus? Probably not a lot. How was she supposed to break the news to her? Quinn took a deep breath before speaking. “I’m sorry. Your mother has passed on. So has your brother. But you’re not alone now, little one. Come with us. We can help you.” She smiled kindly at the small female, hoping she would accept this offer.

The pup jumped into the older dog's embrace, feeling much better at her touch. She shook her head in denial of the news. "No, I just saw her!" she whimpered as she hid her face into her fur. She didn't know what else to do. She was completely powerless in this situation. But she was cold and hungry, she had no other choice. "I... I'll go with you." She sniffled as she looked up at the older dog.

Sheeva with a swift jerk of her head, the beast's neck snapped and it ceased to move. As she dropped the infected, she panted heavily and she sat down in the snow, watching the body for a moment. She turned her head towards the dead pup in the snow, whimpering sadly at the sight. She padded towards the pup, sighing as she but down on the tail, trying not to get any blood in her mouth. she took a few steps away before burying it under the snow. "We better hide the bodies. We don't want the pup to see." she said somberly.

Quinn drew the pup closer to her, resting a paw against her back. “It’s okay. I’ve got you.” As she grieved, Quinn licked the top of her head comfortingly. She closed her eyes as she felt her own eyes start to prick with tears. No pup should ever have to live through this. This world was so cruel and unfair. Seconds later, Quinn pulled back, a weak smile on her face. “I’m Quinn. What’s your name, sweety?” She knew Sheeva and Riot were dealing with her mother outside. All Quinn could do now was keep her distracted.

Riot groaned as he tugged the mother just outside the alley burying her in the deepening snow behind the dumpster. He turned back to look at Sheeva who had dealt with the pup. She's out of sight he called softly to Jarl as he softly padded back. Turning his attention to the open room where Quinn sat with the pup. We should get back the noise we just caused may have drawn attention he said looking back to Sheeva feeling tense.

Her whimpers grew louder as she took in the weight of the situation more and more. She eventually collected herself enough to manage words. She wiped her face with her paw as she looked up at her. She never really had a name. Her and her siblings gave each other nicknames, but her mother never really named them. She called everyone "sweety" or "sweetheart", but that wasn't a true name to her. "I don't think I have one?" She managed to say between sobs.

Sheeva gave a moment of silent for the two, cursing the world for taking the innocent pup's life. She sighed as she nodded to Riot. "Right." she then turned and looked at Quinn. She smiled at how wonderful Quinn was with the pup, wondering briefly it they had a family of their own in their future. "Quinn, we have to go." She barked from afar.

”That’s Okay. Names aren’t everything, right?” She smiled and nuzzled her cheek. Quinn looked up to the doorway as Sheeva appeared. She nodded and turned to the pup. “This is Sheeva. She’s in charge. Come on, she won’t bite.” She sat up and began towards the door. “Can you walk? Do you need me to carry you?” She was small, Quinn doubted she would be that heavy. And after all that running around, she was probably exhausted.

The pup managed a smile despite being full of sorrow. She nodded her head as she stood in front of the larger dog, waiting to be picked up. She spent most of her days huddled in a box waiting for her mother to return, she was still getting used to using her legs.

Sheeva smiled at the pup as she nodded to the pup, trying not to imagine the horrors she's been through. "She's skinny as a bone," she commented. "The human's bodies are still in that home, right? we can have her eat some of that." Sheeva said as she began to pad off. She wasn't too familiar with pups and she wasn't sure if she could eat solids yet, but none of the females had milk so Sheeva only had to hope she could eat meat.

”The cold has probably kept the meat preserved. And the scents wouldn’t have reached the infected. So there’s a good chance they are still there.” The events had caused Quinn to forget about the bodies they’d found. It was a good thing Sheeva had remembered. After all, they were running out of food. There was no use letting them go to waste. Quinn stooped down, her jaws gently grasping the pup by the back of her neck. Her jaws held to the loose skin as she slowly lifted her off the ground. “You’re in safe hands now. We won’t let anything happen to you. I promise.”

Riot looked to the small golden pup with curiosity she was probably among the few who might have been born into this new wasteland world. The group trotted forward Riot took lead so in the case the noise had stirred something up the infected wouldn't charge Quinn and the pup first. He quietly listened to the conversation behind him as they walked.

The pup grunted lightly as she was lifted into the air. She managed to amuse herself by the slowflakes that fell on her nose. She giggled as she pawed at them as they flew by in an attempt to catch them. She looked a bit puzzled at the mention of eating humans. She never really looked at a human and saw them as a food source. But if it meant something to eat, she was all for it. "Are there more dogs?" She eventually asked.

Sheeva nodded to Quinn as she stood close to her to keep them both warm. Her back was covered in slowflakes the longer she was out in the snow. She wished she had the ability to create fire, then her and her pack would become nice and warm. "Riot, would you mind going into that house over there and bring back some meat from the humans there?" she asked as they began to approach the apartment. "We need to get the pup out of this cold."
