Well this just made less and less sense, and Cedar had a **LOT** of explaining to do, when they got him back. Mr "Only wants to feed the birds" had [i]MORE THAN ONE[/i] woman out here with eyes on him, and he DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!? This business about "Important positions" didn't make any sense at all so they spaced it-- He was just their stupid older brother-- (who apparently could knock down a whole damn town-- ANOTHER thing he hadn't said a damn thing to them about! Oh, but he was GONNA! He was going to sing like one of those birds he feeds when they were through with him!) But really now, if this woman was that hot and heavy for him, all she needed to do was ask! They'd have arranged [b][i]THAT[/i][/b] meeting! Sure as shit, HE wasn't going to without some kind of nose-twisting, the way he acted! ... Maybe that's why she hired thugs?... They looked at each other in confusion, then furrowed their brows. Wanting him was all fine and dandy, but zapping him in the middle of the night, then holding him hostage just because she wanted some fun was just uncalled for, and un-neighborly! [color=ed145b]"Wait-- Lemme git dis straight---- She WAN' OUR BRUDDER... [b]FER DAT!?[/b]"[/color] [color=f7941d]"Lissen lady-- Ain't nuttin' wrong wit' want'n a lil fun-- But 'at lady think she kin just haul off, an STEAL OUR BRUDDER--"[/color] [color=ed145b]"Instead just ASKIN' US-- We'd a helped a ladeh out!--"[/color] Rose once more body-checked her sister, then cut her off. [color=f7941d]"--SHE GOT 'NUDDER THANG COMMIN'! We gunna kick 'er ass!"[/color] Rose glared at Lily a moment, asserting wordlessly that this was NOT the time to be making jokes about their brother's love life, or rather, "Complete Lack There Of", and was serious business. [color=f7941d] "Asides-- What dis' Delvin' Fella get outta it nohow?"[/color] asked Rose, with her sister losing the battle to keep the cheeky commentary bottled in right behind. [color=ed145b]"Dun tell us he da kind as likes tuh watch!"[/color]
