"What d'you care anyhow? I'm attemptin' t'pay my way at long last, thought you'd be ecstatic." Tugger's tone was a mixture of anger and snark.

Munkus' eyes narrowed. "This isn't about that. This is about why I'm seeing money and not my brother."

"And since when did you start carin' about havin' me around?" Tugger couldn't help it, depite trying to sound defiant, a little bit of bitterness crept back into his tone.

His jaw tensed. "For several years. What, by Bast's Fangs, is wrong?"

"Why d'you care anyhow?" Tugger retorted, "Is this about me missin' that meetin'?" he let out a low growl, "You an' Mac are just the same, only bothering when it's in the interest of watchin' your own back. You're makin' sure I don't ruin one business, he's making sure I don't ruin him."

"What?" Munkus gaped at him. "That's not true."

"Oh?" Tugger raised an eyebrow at his brother, "And you'd have bothered to try an' talk to me tonight if I hadn't missed that meetin'?"

There was the briefest hesitation before the silver tabby answered. "Of course."

Tugger didn't miss the pause, "Well forgive me if I have trouble believin' that. I've bin' avoidin' you because it's nicer than bein' treated like a damn liability all the time." he paused briefly, "I'm sorry if you don't see it that way, but it's what I'm seein', it's all I got from Mac too, after not speakin' t'me for over a year then that's all I get. And I'm gettin' more than a bit sick of it."

Munkustrap's ears flickered but he frowned. "I might not have talked with you, but I probably would have stayed up. You're in a lot later than usual."

"Shoulda' guessed you were keepin' tabs on me. I went out for the evenin' so sue me!" Tugger retorted, somewhat hurt that Munkustrap had seemed so keen to get an answer from him about his absenses but had totally brushed it aside when he'd finally given one.

"Damn it, Tugger, it's not that! I worry about you, alright?" He snapped.

"Yeah, like I said, neither of you seem t'believe I'm capeable of takin' care of myself" Tugger knew he'd been singing the same tune since he'd been arresested and both of his brothers were probably tired of hearing it, but he didn't feel like either of them were actually taking into consideration what he was actually saying and he didn't know how else to get it across.

"That's not what I was saying!" Munkus protested, a growl lacing his tone again.

"Then what are you sayin'? Because I sure as hell can't work it out!" Tugger snapped back, adding afterwards, "Guess you wouln't expect anythin' different from your stupid little brother though."
