Teazer nodded, handing him a mug, "Don't be up too late if you're off early again tomorrow." she stopped, biting her lip slightly as she followed her brother's gaze, "What happened?"

"Don' worry, I'll head t' bed soon, do the rest tomorrow." Jerrie sighed slightly. "He an' his uncle had a fight. Jones kicked 'im out."

"Jones?" Teazer couldn't help the question, she recognised the name of course, but had to wonder if it were the same Jones who, it was safe to say, had some notoriety in this town.

Jerrie nodded. "Yeah. Frankly, Misto shoulda left a while ago, but he hasn't been able to get a solid enough income to find a place of his own."

Teazer nodded, "Figures." she put the tray back down on the kitchen counter, taking her own mug off it and sipping thoughtfully, "How long's he stayin' for?"

"I told him for as long as he needs, but he's talkin' about just a couple days. Which would be best considerin' the basement." Jerrie replied, taking a drink from his coffee mug. He hated to feel like he was turning away a friend in an hour of need, but he really couldn't afford any more cats knowing about the still.

"Mmm," Teazer agreed, "I don't mind him stayin' either, he seems like a good sort. But could get difficult if money's tight?" she always let Mungo deal with their finances as far as the house and food was concerned.

Her brother shrugged, "We've enough for him to stay for a while if it comes to that. Shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Teazer nodded, reassured, "I guess there ain't any more t'do tonight anyway. Don't wake him when y'go in the mornin', he looks like he needs the rest. I'll see about breakfast for him later, I'm workin' the lunch t'dinner shift tomorrow."

Jerrie looked in the direction of the front room. "I might stick around th' house t'morrow. See if 'e needs a hand gettin' his stuff from Jones' place."

Jerrie offered her a grin. "And you ain't been doin' the same?"

Teazer pulled a face, "Well y'know I didn't exactly plan that late shift. An' I got an early night tonight." she glanced back towards the living room, "Sorta'."

"Thanks Jer." Teazer leant her head briefly against her brother's shoulder, seeing Mistoffelees with nowhere else to go had reminded her how glad she was to have Jerrie, even if he was over protective, she'd rather that than him not caring."
