If that last sentence was conveyed by the young werewolf, he would have said something in much less words.
Pojo knew who lived in this house; his "aunties" Britanny, the funny cat lady, Gina, the smart lady, and Brianna, the weird lady who liked to play with a bunch of metal thingies. His mommy wouldn't let him play with her toys, though, so he didn't stick around her. And there was also that horn person, Genn, - he wasn't exactly sure whether Genn was an "auntie" or an "uncle" - and that guy with the black suit who made those pretty sparkly things come out of his hands, and sometimes that guy with the red hair like a lady's who liked to play like his mommy.
At this point, he doesn't really know the difference between "playing" and "fighting". Of course, most fighters don't, either.
However, this new lady was new. Obviously. And he wasn't exactly sure what to make of her.
He thought she was rather pretty, with the red fur that he had never seen before. She smelled real nice too, though he wasn't sure what exactly she smelt like; it kind of reminded him of that restaraunt that his parents took him to one time, that had a bunch of tanned, narrow eyed humans preparing the food. She also smelt a bit like that time he had gotten too close to the campfire, but this didn't seem to take away from the exotic smell. And for some reason, whenever he looked at her, he thought that his chest made a bunch of bumping noises.
Pojo thought for a moment, then placed his hand over his heart, and peeked around the corner of the hallway.
Yep, looked like he was right.
The werewolf puzzled over this. Why did he do this around the pretty wolf lady? He looked at several different ladies before, including other wolf ladies like his mom and his baby sister, but that never happened before. Plus he was feeling a bit hot, which was strange, because it wasn't that hot outside.
Pojo rubbed his chin, in a manner that seemed rather mature for his age. Maybe he should ask the lady...

Ranma groaned as she continued polishing the Peebo parts that she began to carry around with her. It was a rather bright idea on her part; she figured out that with the range of the "invisible pet fence", there were times that she would need to wait outside of a bathroom while Brianna bathed or whatever.
The newly were'd were hadn't realized yet that Brianna wouldn't mind Ranma being in the bathroom with her, rather she would ENCOURAGE it.
This also gave her time to reflect on her current predicament. At this point, it actually wasn't that bad. All that happened to her was she was wisked away from an angry mob to a place thousands of miles away, turned into a slave AND another species, shocked into painful bliss several times, had his "cure" revoked, and was currently playing host for some of her "mistress"'s werewolf friends.
At least it seemed like Brianna had a good head on her shoulders; Ranma doubted that Brianna would bungle up and make something happen like, to choose an occurance at random, make the werewolf pregnant.
Five feet to her right, the door to Brianna's room opened. Ranma blinked, pausing her task. "Wait... Bri told me that she was gonna be 'busy' for about an hour..." the were half muttered to herself. Her eyes widened at the woman's entrance, partially clothed in a robe that didn't exactly cover up everything.
"Oh Raaaaaaanmaaaa..." the lycanthropoid crooned, kneeling in front of her love-slave.
'Oh shit,' Ranma thought. Her mental swearing didn't stop Brianna from cupping her chin in her hand, and her eyes glinting in a rather predatory, and quite familiar, manner.
"I've had you for several hours now," she whispered, in the sultry sort that would have most straightlaced men (and women (and everything in between)) particulary worried, "and I've just realized that I haven't 'broke' you in, yet."
Ranma countered deftly, like a master fencer in a championship bout.
"Erg..."
Brianna's grin grew wider. "So why not get your nice butt into that room, and I'll grab you some hot-"
"'Scuse me," a voice broke in, stealing the momentum. Brianna and Ranma looked down, at Pojo.
THe half-cheetah blinked. "Hey Pojo, wazzup?"
"Umm... I wanted ta know if I could..." the werewolf mumbled.
The older werewolf stared at the younger werewolf, privately thankful for this interruption. "If ya could what?" she asked, wondering why the boy flushed red and looked down at his shuffling feet.
"Umm... if I could... talk ta the pretty lady?" Pojo asked hopefully, watching his right foot triumph over his left with a full house, queens high.
Brianna contemplated this, noting the reactions of the werecub. 'Aww... ain't it cuuuute?' she privately cooed. "Weeeeeell..." she drawled, "... I guess I can have a bit more fun with Genn," she answered, much to the relief of Ranma and Pojo. "Watch over the kid, Ranma," she ordered, then entered her bedroom once more.
Ranma raised an eyebrow as she heard her master shout something reminiscient to "Okay Genn! Time for Round Two!" followed by several choice swear words. Shrugging, she glanced over at the boy, who blushed under her look.
"So... Pojo?" she asked, storing the name in her memory. "Do you want to help me clean Brianna's Peebo?"
Pojo slowly looked up, at the mess of wires and metal in the red-furred creature's hands. "I dunno..." he muttered bashfully, "Mommy and Daddy and Aunties told me not ta play with Auntie Bri's toys."
Ranma thought about this, and silently praised their judgement, based off of what she had seen of Brianna's other "toys". "Yeah, well, this is safe, ya know; I ain't activating it anytime soon," Ranma replied. Pojo looked up again, and after some consideration, accepted a few of the dismantled part and sat down next to the wolf lady, painfully aware of the thudding in his chest. Ranma then began demonstrating the process, that he had learned from Brianna a while back ago.
