Trisha tenderly rests her chin on top of Rhia's little head, she as well was content.

She smiles even bigger.

With a small, playful smirk, Trisha gently boops the tiny cutey.

She giggles.

"Being honest, your the first one that's ever laughed around me." She said softly, remembering her little siblings. Cute little things, but they had been so scared of Trisha after they had lost their father. Both by her job and how she changed so much, from a sweet shorty herself to a fighter who refused to smile around enough people. She didn't mean to, but the way she lumbered into the house scared them and even her mom.

She smiles up at her.

Trisha gave an honest smile back down to her, her eyes told of her story though. She hadn't just fought, she'd drank and drank badly. Mostly to numb the pain she felt over her lost father and the fear she would see in her mothers and siblings eyes when she would come home... At least the wouldn't be scared anymore ... she wasn't coming home.

(Sorry, not sure if I pinged you a page or two back from my last response.)

(Aaaaah, I'm sorry. *rushes to reply*)

Austyn is silently cheering in the background.

Riley gently rubs Shade's back in a circular motion, smiling slightly. He loved Shade, no one could deny that.

(Oh, it's 100% okay. Don't worry, I do that a lot. ^w^ )

For some reason, that circular motion felt nice. Very nice, and he ended up purring softly. His eyes, because I'm not sure if they where closed, closed and he smiled. Fangs and all.
