"Yeah, well... my evil twin looks jus' like me, an' has all the same memories. Just sayin', it's hard to sort out sometimes."

*Brandi was quite for a long moment, her eyes shut. Hesitantly, she whispered.*
"Does it make it worse? Being here?"
With me.

"No, baby," he said, immediately regretful. "That ain't what I meant at all. 'M just glad you can see through that, an' let me be here with you."

*Relief washed over her as her lips blossomed into a genuine smile.*
"Baby...I'm so glad to hear you say that."
*She pursed them, reining the smile back in.*
"Not that I'd try to keep you here if you needed to go again, but..." *She sighed softly.*
"It's nice having you."

"Can't say I won't have to," he said, his voice laden with regret. "But I'll try hard not to. It's nice bein' here."

*Brandi's lips tightened only a moment in sadness before she managed to smile again.*
"I'll take you as long as I can."
*After a moment, she pushed herself up to sitting.*
"So...I mean...I'm not sure what you're feeling up to as far as daily activities...."
But I still have an inn and kids that need caring for.
"Where you planning on staying upstairs? Would you like me to being you anything?"

Cry-Baby frowned at the thought of being so useless.
"Don't see why I can't make myself useful," he said. "If I'm close enough to one of the kids... 'less you don't wanna risk it."

*Brandi shook her head easily.*
"I trust you to know what you're feeling. If you're up for it, I'd love to have the help." *Her smile was warm and supportive.*

"Wasn't ever the best student," he said. "An' lots of folks thought I was bad news. But I wouldn't offer if I thought I couldn't handle it, baby. Seems to me it'd make me more crazy, bein' shut up."
He smiled, though he was holding himself in check, trying to see if he could just tone down his emotions and keep 'em from getting bigger than he could handle.

"I know what you mean." *Brandi answered. She didn't do too well confined either, and she knew that having something to do really helped. Her brow arched in question.*
"Is there something that you wanted to start with? If you're not careful, you'll end up washing dishes or doing laundry." *She poked with a grin.*

"'M capable," Cry-Baby demanded. "I'll do whatever need's doin'--an' there's some things I ain't capable of, where the kids're concerned."

*Brandi blinked, then giggled.*
"Well when you put it that way..." *She grinned, rolling her eyes.* "You make is sound so sexy."
*Without a moment's pause, she forced herself to standing, brushing the grass off her clothing.*
"I suppose either way, you'll be happy to have your jeans back."

"Sexy?" Cry-Baby said innocently. "That's just how I talk, I guess."
He got up and grimaced.
"Yeah, feel like an idiot. Never did like gym class."

"It's all right." *Brandi answered, lowering her eyes respectfully. She didn't want him to be any more uncomfortable than he had to be.*
"But you gotta admit that they let you move easier."

Cry-Baby laughed.
"Hey," he said. "Don't care that much. Just bein' a baby. I know I'm full of myself sometimes--even if it is deserved."
