"Grayday loves you both," Shale said, a delirious smile spreading across his face. He began to laugh in a slightly unhinged fashion, body trembling with the sound. "He--ha ha--we always talked about starting families. He's so proud of you, Dawn and Sunny. You wouldn't believe it." He nudged Grayday's side, chuckling. "C'mon, Day, tell 'em."
His ears flattened as Dawn threw two bitter words out, in rebuttal to Sunny's wish--nay, truth. "No one knows," he growled, shaking his head. "No one really knows; you wake up, you go to sleep. Who's to say? I know I'm not qualified to say." He huffed, placing his head back on his paws, looking morose.
"All I can say is one day I went to sleep next to my mate and four healthy children," Shale said. "The next thing I know, I'm awake and they're starvin' to death. All of them. And then Murdock is dead, and then this--" His head snapped suddenly up, and he rose to his feet, legs trembling. He scowled down at Grayday. "Get up, you bastard. Get up!"
One of his back feet clawed the ground, as if he had an itch he just couldn't scratch. "Who's to say? Who's to say? It's a fucking dream--no, it's a nightmare." Shale fixed his gaze on his niece and nephew, mouth tight. "All of it. Fucking nightmare."
