He shakes, trying to steady himself before talking.
"M-my b-brother, s-sister, an-and grandm-ma died....they were murdered...." he said grimly.

-
[u]Murdered? By who?[/u]
-
He sniffles, rubbing his eyes dry one at a time. "I-i d-d-don't kn-know..." he manages to get out. She noticed he was covered in burns, most of them having burnt through his thick fur and singing his skin, making it look...well...look like burnt skin; all bloody, charred, and overall looking nasty.
-
*Her eyes widen.* [u]How long ago was this?[/u]
-
"T-two d-days ago..."
-
[u]There may be time to hunt them down![/u]
-
He shakes his head. "Th-they were part of the i-invasion.."
-
[u]I-I'm sorry...[/u]
-
He sniffles again, staring into a mound of shoveled snow. "I c-could have s-saved them...Th-they could b-be alive r-right now...b-but i failed them...N-now all I h-have is M-Mari.."
-
[u]Don't look at it that way... They were murdered... It's not your fault, it's the murderer's.[/u]
-
He puts his hands up to his face, crying again. "Th-they're gone...I-i tried everything..b-but.." he said before breaking into sobs.
-
*She can tell he's extremely upset. And though she wasn't one to cry over things, she certainly knew how to try and help. Besides, this may be an opportunity to make a new friend. She awkwardly wraps her arms around him in a caring embrace.* [u]Shhhhhh...[/u]
-
He appreciates the hug more than she would understand. He eventually calmed down, leaning against her, crying like a child. His arms had fallen asleep and were by his sides. After a few minutes he had calmed down enough to where he was simply sniffling with the occasional hiccup. "Th-thanks..." he mustered after he had stopped hiccuping.

*She keeps hugging him, glancing at what Li'l S has written on his chest.* [u]You're welcome... If you need me for anything, defense, beating someone up for you, even if you just want to meet somewhere and talk, hit this button.[/u] *She unclips something from her belt and hands it to him.* [u]The last thing may be tricky though. I'm deaf so I have to bring Li'l S to translate and write things down for me.[/u]
-
He nodded taking the thing. Mari had snuggled up to Kari on his other side, having re-wrapped the blanket around her.
-
[u]So... What now?[/u]
-
He shrugs, wincing from the burns.
-
[u][b]Your burns haven't healed at all from the looks of it, and I know burns... Let's get you some aloe... What about her?[/b][/u] *She asks, motioning to his sister.*
-
"Sh-she'll be ok..I got her the help she needed a little bit ago.."
-
[u]Well, you still need something for your burns...[/u]
-
He nodded. "Yeah...uhm..." he said, not really knowing what to do.
-
[u]Come back to my house. I'll give you some aloe you can use. I can carry her too.[/u] *She says, motioning to his sister.* [u]I'll be careful not to wake her.[/u]
-
"Th-thanks.." he managed to say tiredly, getting up carefully.
-
*She moves and carefully but easily lifts up his sister, being sure not to wake her.*
-
"Wh-where are we going again?" he asked.
-
[u]We are heading to my apartment.[/u] *She says, starting to head towards the apartment building but walking slow enough for him to follow.*
