So the upshot was they still didn't know jack. The angel was being cagey, and Brandi was nervous, and Cry-Baby didn't know what he could do or even if there was anything to do. They didn't even know if there was danger; they just had Raziel's nerves to go on. He sighed.
"Think that'd be best," he said.

"Thank you." *Brandi added with a nod, pushing herself up.*
"We shouldn't keep you. I mean, the sooner you know, the sooner I can know if there's some reason that Dracula would be headed this way."
*She managed a supportive, if small, smile.*
"Let's just hope he isn't."

He nodded. "I'll head on out. Best not to draw her attention to the inn." He hesitated a moment. "See ya later." Another pause, and he was out .

*Brandi could only nod back to him, mustering a supportive smile. When he was gone, she sank back into the chair.*
"I'm sorry, Baby. I know we were just getting back in the swing of things." *She glanced to him.*
"But maybe it won't be a problem. Maybe it's not us he's wanting."

"Don't know why he's layin' all that on you, not even knowin' if you're involved," he grumbled. But his was concerned for her safety; he didn't like hearing she was in danger, and if she wasn't he didn't want her worried about it.

"He just worries, I suppose." *Brandi offered, taking Cry-Baby's hand again.*
"Wouldn't you, if you were in that situation?" *Her words were gentle. She felt bad, Raziel having to go through this and she was all...not with him. She did what she could not to think about seeing herself in bed with him. That still gave her the wiggins even if it was also kinda hot. Ok, really hot.*

"'f I was in his situation, I'd find me a free girl," he said. "What makes him think of you when he hears the word 'she'?"

*Brandi shut her eyes briefly. It was a tough situation, but there were some things that just couldn't be helped.*
"I'm sure he'd rather find a free one too." *She offered, not really wanting to hypothesize about the other question.*
"It's not always so easy." *She squeezed his hand as if to reaffirm how much he was her man.*

"Yeah, well," Cry-Baby said noncommittally. "Just makes me jumpy, him hangin' around."
Let her think what she would, he wasn't about to tell her about the alleyway.

*Brandi's brow lowered a bit.*
"Don't want that." *She lifted a hand to softly tuck a greased lock back behind his ear.*
"But he hasn't tried anything...I mean, he hasn't been anything but a gentleman."
Lately.
"He knows who I'm going upstairs with." *She tried to comfort him.*

Cry-Baby nodded. He wasn't exactly the jealous type--not when he felt confident. And it wasn't just Brandi that made Raziel uncomfortable for him. "Yeah. An' I trust you, an' all... Things've just been a little weird round here lately, an' he don't make me any easier."

((Yeah, but she doesn't know that. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) )) "I know." *She leaned forward to kiss his forehead.* "But we got this far, right? I ain't about to give up all we got going." *Her lips dropped to his and her kiss grew more tender.*

"Mmm," he said, kissing her back, trying to keep that hunger to a minimum because, well, they were sorta in public here. Not that he didn't want to reinforce what she said they had going.
"Yeah, I know," he said when they broke. "You know what guys are like."

*Brandi poised above him with a grin making dimples in her cheeks.*
"You mean the part about how they're all just lookin' for a piece of ass and that territory is only territory unless they think they can take it?"
*She arched a brow.*
"Or you mean that they're charming and sensible and all sorts of help in checking on those kids before snuggling up with me for the night?"

"The second one, naturally," Cry-Baby said quickly, knowing which side his bread was buttered on. "But what I meant was the part about us bein' irrational, jealous creatures, with all sorts of unreasonable thoughts."
