Niraya had been enjoying the soak, getting used to the mouse's presence sitting between her legs. The answer to her question was a somber one; she felt bad for her. If the mouse had been raised up in Canis in house like hers the idea that a parent would just abandon their child like that...it was not only disgraceful but unthinkable. Packs should always stick together. The wolf didn't flinch or react negatively when Shelly lean back against her. Unconsciously, Niraya wrapped her hands around the mouse's waist. She was jolted from her relaxation the moment Shelly asked that question. Looking into the mouse's eyes, Niraya saw a fairly neutral look, one only interested in knowing about happened and without judgement.<br/><br/>The mouse made it easy for the wolf to answer. "...we did. At first I wanted to keep them alive, so I knocked them out. Kyun talked reason into me though. If we had left them alive, when she and I left, things would have returned to normal and it would be likely the gang would have sought immediate revenge on you. It was the only sure way to ensure your safety and everyone else's. They won't be missed, not people like that." She left out the details that Kyun was responsible for actually killing them; as far as Niraya was concerned it was a team effort, for better or worse.<br/><br/>The wolf sighed though, perhaps making it apparent that she still working out the events in her head and trying to justify it. Hearing that Shelly wouldn't have to worry anymore about being plucked off the street help Niraya in seeing that the way things went down was indeed for the greater good.<br/><br/>"Did I do good?"
