"Oh yes." *Brandi said dryly, pushing back up to standing.*
"Cause us girls are nothing but logic. Nothing unreasonable or jealous among the lot of us."
*She offered him a hand.*
"I never begrudge the thoughts, Baby. I'm just trying to see his side. And...well, it never hurts to know if trouble is on the way."

Cry-Baby took her hand, though of course he didn't need it, and stood.
"Yeah, yeah," he said, good-nature intact. "You go on bein' reasonable an' all that."
He pulled her close, kissed her again.
"Love it when you're all practical and whatnot."

*Brandi savored the kiss, her hand curling in the fabric of his shirt for a moment, as if he could be pulled closer by the cotton.*
"Mmmm....and sometimes when I ain't, if I remember right." *She whispered hotly, a mischievous grin twisting her lips.*
"You just trying to get me riled, mister?"

Cry-Baby smirked.
"An' if I remember right, it don't take much to get you riled."
This was dangerously close to territory they hadn't entered since she'd come back, and he wasn't sure they were ready. Well, he knew he was ready, in that sense. But it seemed it was more complicated than that.

"All the more reason we gotta be careful." *She said, turning sharply as if to go, but not before bumping him firmly with her hip.*
"Don't know that the kids would wait on us for somethin' like that." *Brandi looked back to him and winked playfully.*

"Guess not," Cry-Baby said sheepishly. He wrinkled his nose. "Kids," he said derisively, like some old grandpa. "'f only we had a live-in babysitter..."

"Then you'd just take me upstairs and ravish me?" *She grinned in hopeful jest.*
"Somehow, I'm not sure that's what you had in mind." *Brandi started up the stairs.*

"Damn right I would," he insisted staunchly. "Anyway, was a joke. We sorta do."
Wasn't that he wanted to take Kris for granted, but one of these days... well, wasn't unreasonable for him and Brandi to have some alone time.

*Brandi glanced briefly up, as if alluding to the girl upstairs that had been so good about keeping things until control while she hadn't.*
"Yeah, but Kris is way more than that. And I'm grateful for her everyday."
*She smiled softly, if a little sad. She didn't mean to run Kris over with all her excess drama. But she was glad she was around.*

"'Course not. Ain't tryin' to deny that. Maybe we owe her a present, or somethin'."

*Brandi nodded, smiling back at him.*
"Definitely. A very very nice one."
*Something with foot rubs and cuddles. No wait, no foot rubs. She didn't like feet, right?*

"Well, we'll think about that, I guess," Cry-Baby said, unable to imagine what she'd want. He liked her well enough, but she was sort of a mystery to him.
"Reckon we better check on 'em."

"Yeah, wouldn't want them burning anything down while we weren't looking." *Brandi nodded and reaching the top of the stairs, hurried down the hall to the kid's room.*

It sounded like a joke, but it was a very real fear, these particular kids considered.

**NEW NIGHT**
The moment Maria arrived, she realized that she was badly mistaken. Sarah didn't live here anymore. Echoes of her power still lingered in the building, but she could tell that the woman herself hadn't been here for some time.
Dammit.
But where could she have gone? It wasn't too far away, if Maria could still sense her power. Somewhere in Paris, but that didn't do a whole lot of good. Perhaps...perhaps someone would know where she'd gone? It was worth a shot.
"Hello?" She called into the inn. "Anyone here?"
