[Doc Holliday]

Doc took Anna's hand and held it for a moment at the news of her fiance.
"Anna, I'm very sorry," he said softly, "I have no words."

Releasing her hand, a scowl crossed his face as he shook his head. He then sighed. Anna could tell he was angry but did well to contain it as he asked himself "Why in Sirius must these Outcasts infect everyone even when they don't want it."

He then focused back on Anna.
"Anna, while I did experiment with trying to treat cardamine addiction, I had little success in it," he explained, "I just didn't have the time or contacts to finish what I started. Listen, I can't tell you to maintain the addiction or not to. What I know is this. Long term use will permanently alter your genetic structure. Sure, you may have some enhanced abilities and a longer life span that is, if you don't get yourself shot or something but you, Anna, may well lose the ability to have children due to the genetic changes. Do you really want that? You may not want children now but you may want a family some day."

"Lastly, if you keep the addiction, you will spend the rest of your days stealing and killing to get the credits to buy it. Ask yourself, is it worth it? Before you give me an answer, think that and what I said about family over."
