John (who could have told Luna good luck on that count) came strolling by just then on his way downstairs, and was forced to halt by the assembled gaggle of females. "Coming through," he said a trifle impatiently before he caught sight of the newcomer.
"Oh, you dropped the sprog, eh?" He maneuvered around Luna to get a look at the little guy. "Bran, innit?" he addressed the child. "You gnawed all the legs off that spider yet? Nah, well, give it time. Teeth'll help. Hang on a minute though, that reminds me..."
He fished around in his trench pockets for a moment, and produced a slightly squished, but still relentlessly cheerful stuffed lamb. Brushing a few tobacco crumbs off the toy, he tucked it alongside the baby while stage-whispering, "Here, this fell off the back of a lorry for you. Don't tell your mum, though." He winked solemnly. "I don't think she'd approve."
