We're running 'round like we don't care

Cicero was lucky that he had been able to break off from the group with Damien when they did, rather than having to leave Damien alone with Baldur. Though Cicero did not particularly care for the pup -- as he seemed for little others aside from his direct family and Damien in particular, anyway -- he did not know if it would be as easy to lure Grimnir away and poison, then kill him, if they would hurt his pup in some way first. It would only complicate matters, and while Cicero was not even that set upon the revenge that Damien thirsted for, he knew that his brother did; and therefore, he would do what he could to help reach his brother's goals.

Of course, that did not mean that he would tolerate Damien's incessant whining in regards to Baldur's noisiness. A growl rumbled in Cicero's throat while Damien complained and commanded him to make the whining stop. Without addressing the command given by his brother, Cicero asked him: "What will Damien do with the pup?" There was no judgement in his voice, but he needed to know so that he knew what to expect. "If Cicero and Damien hurt the pup, Grimnir will never be caught unaware and lured into their trap." The reminder was given casually, as though Damien could then decide what he wanted to do with it: head it, or ignore it and kill the pup anyway.
