((I'm gonna assume after. CB's not met him yet, btw.))
"Well ain't they the sweetest things?" he said, scooping Sirius up. "This one's got green eyes. Is that normal?"

((Sounds good. And...yeah.))
*But Brandi wasn't really thinking fully about puppies.*
"Yeah well, normality doesn't seem to find us too often round here, does it?" *It was supposed to be a joke, but she wasn't sure it communicated once it was out of her mouth.*
"And there's Kiba." *She added, rather unceremoniously.* "He's..." *Well, she didn't really have a way of explaining it.* "...he's a wolf. That sometimes looks like a man." *Yep, still sounded weird.*

Cry-Baby blinked, both at her attitude--she seemed tired, stressed--and the news about the... wolf/man. And he felt guilty about leaving her alone. He shouldn't have expected her to deal with all this. He wondered why Kris hadn't been more help.
"So... which is he?" was all he said.

"A wolf." *Brandi did her best to look decisive.* "I think. He just...he has the ability to look like a man sometimes. And..." *She shrugged.* "...you know, talk and such." *She sighed.* "I don't know. It kinda boggles the mind when you stop to think to hard about it."

"I'll try not to, then," Cry-Baby said. "My mind is boggled enough. I think I can do talking wolf-guy, though."
He glanced down at the puppies, one of whom was squirming in his hands trying to get at his face. He laughed.
"These aren't wolves, though. Where'd they come from?"

"They just kinda showed up." In Kris's bedroom. *Brandi smiled easier.*
"Strays. Thought they could use a proper home."
*Her eyes drifted from Sirius up to Cry-Baby's, soft and warm.*
"I seem to have a weakness for them."

Cry-Baby smiled at her softly.
"Noticed that 'bout you," he said. "Don't mind a bit. Orphans gotta stick together. Right, kid?" He set Sirius down and played with his ears.

*Brandi laughed softly, happy to see him like this. With the puppies, he was even more of his old self. It was lovely to see.*
"Well, I'm glad you don't mind the few extra mouths around here then." *She smiled.*
"Maybe you'd be willing to see to them? Nothing big, just feed 'em and occasionally clean up after them. Compared to the kids, it shouldn't be too bad. I just know that Kiba's dealing with Helen right now and..."
*The words trailed off and Brandi's head was filled with visions of Cry-Baby and Malefica and that war. She bit her tongue. She didn't need him running off in defense of any more maidens.*

Cry-Baby looked frankly delighted at the suggestion, but his brow furrowed.
"Helen?" he asked. "Another stray?"

"Something like that." *Brandi muttered, but straightened to answer him honestly.*
"A damsel in distress, as it were. A woman that every man seems to want." *Had he gotten that far in history class?*
"She was married, then carried off by another. There was a war because of her. And she escaped again and is now residing here." *She sighed.* "Kiba has taken on her protection."

*After the initial pats and attention, it was confirmed in Fenris' mind as to who Cry Baby was. Not one to have a one-track mind, the pup was now wandering off, following a scent in the grass *

"A war? Over a girl?" he asked. "Must be some girl. An' the wolf's protecting her."
He frowned in thought.
"So you're sayin' men tend to get... violent 'bout this woman?"

*Brandi's brow lowered.*
"More like...lustful to the point of violence. A 'I'm the only one that can have her' kind of thing."
*She didn't want to tell him to stay clear, but she couldn't help but think it, things as they were. At the best, he'd shag her. And the worst...she'd call him off to another war.*

"Yeah..." Cry-Baby said slowly. "Thinkin' maybe I oughta avoid her," he said. "Must as I hate to say it, baby, it's gotta be said. If that's the kind of effect she's got on regular guys."

*Brandi scrunched her nose.* "Well, I wasn't gonna put it just like that, but..." *She sighed.*
"That probably is a good idea."
((She's talking about leaving with Kiba anyways, but yeah...))
