*Hedonism arched a manicured brow as Brandi bristled, body tensing.*
"Well...if you don't want them..." *She rocked slightly, glancing at the babes in her arms.*
"I suppose I could always just take 'em with me..."

Cry-Baby's face was a grim mask, his hand not holding the child clenched in a fist at his side as he held himself back.
"Think maybe you should put 'em down in that crib," he said. "Not that we ain't grateful--" Well he wasn't exactly, they had more than enough kids, but whatever. "--but you'll have to excuse us if we ain't overjoyed by your visit."

"Aw, hell..." *Hedonism grumbled indifferently, setting the kids in a crib with Kit. Brandi started forward instinctively, but stopped when Hedonism straightened.*
"It wasn't like I was looking to get knocked up."
*She took a step towards Cry-Baby, expression warming with the hint of a smile.*
"Ain't never met a man with...potency like you."

While it was... flattering, Cry-Baby didn't really fancy bein' her boy-toy. He held the kid in front of him like a shield, only slightly more subtle.
"That's nice," he said. "But y'know, look what happened the last time you got too close t'me." He jerked his head at the new occupants of the crib.

*Hedonism stopped, even as her smile blossomed.*
"True enough." *She conceded before turning her grin on Brandi.* "And I don't suppose War wants to be stuck entertaining when this whole thing goes down so..."
*She sucked her lip longingly as Brandi took a step back.*
"Can't help it, hun. Being here's got me feeling more like my old self again. And dammit, it feels pretty good."

"Again, how nice," he said. "For you. Whyn't you go of somewhere an' make trouble for someone else for once? You've ruined my life enough for one... life."

*Hedonism stopped, her lashes lowering coyly for a moment. Brandi's shoulders tensed, readying herself for tactile defense if need be.*
"All right." *The abstract conceded unexpectedly, grinning back at Cry-Baby.*
"But some day you might just find you're missing me."
*With that, she poofed into sweet pipe smoke and dissipated.*

"Not likely," he muttered as she disappeared, grateful he'd had the child in his arms. It didn't keep him completely calm--but he could hardly throw an infant to the side and pummel her.
"You okay?" he asked Brandi.

*Brandi did her best to will her taut muscles to relax. She nodded hesitantly.*
"I think so. I just..." *She tried to shake of the smell of the smoke.* "I'm fine."
*She stood still for a moment, then looked about at the mass of cribs. Then she smiled cautiously.*
"Baby..." *She whispered slowly in realization.* "That's it. I mean...isn't it?" *She couldn't remember an other outstanding encounters. Maybe things were winding down on this whole thing.*

He felt tense, agitated, but he hadn't killed or otherwise assaulted... well, anyone, in a while. He thought that was due to staying away from folks, and the calming influence of the babies. So he thought he knew what she meant... but he couldn't be sure.
"Whad'ya mean, baby?"

*Brandi shook her head tightly, as if trying to clear it. She turned back to him, hope infusing her expression.*
"That's all of them, right? I mean..." *Her gaze dropped at the implication.* "There aren't any other...outstanding...engagements?" Other people you sexed up.

Cry-baby blinked. Then blushed, oddly. "Um... no. I don't..." He cut himself off, realizing something like "I don't think so" sounded like he'd lost track or something, which wasn't very nice of him. "No, that's all of 'em."
He surveyed the now-crowded room. "More'n he asked for," he said. "D'you think he'll show up soon?" He frowned, worried. What would become of them? He'd gotten attached, after all. And he didn't see War as a fit sort of parent.

*Brandi did her best to remain confident and focus on the milestone. It was like some sort of achievement, even if she'd had little to do with it, all in all. She shrugged, but tried to keep her smile.*
"I...I don't expect him too soon." If he's even sober enough to remember them.
"He made mention that he wanted them a bit older, so...I don't know."
*Hesitation slipped into her expression, as if she just realized how much longer the road ahead was.*

"Yeah," he mused. "Look, baby, from where I'm standin', that's all for the best. D'you want a... a person like him takin' charge of a bunch of infants? Longer we have 'em, the better it'll be for the kids. Maybe I'm too attached already, but I can't help but think that's just as well."

"You can't want this many." *Brandi stated, a bit surprised. There were so many of them, so little sleep, and...well, even if they could, would they have the energy left to be intimate? But still, there was something charming about them, the way they squirmed and scrunched their faces. It pulled at her.*
"I mean...at one time?" *She licked her lips slowly, not sure what she was trying to say.*
"But you're probably right. I can't imagine them being better off with him."
