memento mori

Shit… are you okay?

It was just a tree.  Does it look that bad?

Keir, what happened?

I fell.  From a tree.

I’ve fallen out of trees hundreds of times and my face has never looked like that.. did you fall on rocks?

There were branches.  Pokey branches.

'M just sick of shit dying on me is all, starting to think I'm cursed.

I'm not dead yet and neither's Isaac.  You're not cursed.

You better start talking, Kaelen. Who did this?

A tree...  I was taking a nap and I sort of just... rolled off.

Dude— what happened?

I, uh... fell out of a tree...

There’s nothing to say, really. I found a dog in a trap, took it to a vet and it didn’t make it.

Oh... [hugs his brother]  'n well... it's not the same but... Penny found a dog, but she can't keep it.  Maybe you could take it in?

I’ll be fine, Kaelen.

Right.  You're not going to tell me?

Now that that’s over with, I guess I should head home..

Need a drink?

I hope so, he’s adorable. I hope I can find him a good home.

I'm sure you will.

Okay, I’ll try and find a home for it.

He's cute, so 'm sure it won't be too hard finding him a home.
