Mac blinked at him. "I meant hospital bills," he said, confused.

"I know."

Mac frowned slightly at him, and finally understood, his eyes widening. "Oh. You, we don't need charity." He swallowed. Oh yes they did. "I... thank you," he said softly, his shoulder slumping a little.

"It's not charity. It's an investment on my part." Cohen replied. He paused for a moment. "You're welcome."

Mac frowned at the word investment. "Investment? In what?" Did the other no want money but something else? His posture went completely rigid again.

"In you. If you ever manage to get the money you're welcome to pay it back, but until then consider it an investment in proving that not everycat in this city is a complete bastard."

Mac stared at him for a very long moment. "You... what?" He shook his head, trying to clear it. "I, thank you." He had no idea how to react to that, feeling the fur along his spine standing on end. He glanced back at the door where Tugger was waiting.

Cohen nodded toward the door. "Go ahead. Like I said, keep an eye on those wounds."

"Again, thank you," Mac said, looking the doctor up and down. "And I will." He turned at that, re-entering the room with Tugger. "Hey Tug, ready to go?"

Tugger looked up as Macavity entered, he'd sat back down on the bed again when the anestetic had started to wear off, the pain in his back returning, less than before, but still unpleasant. He hurried to get down and make his way over to his brother though, wincing a few times as he did so. He looked at Macavity in askance that everything was alright, expression anxious.

The doctor watched him go and then went out to the front desk to let the secretary there to charge their bill to him before heading back to continue with his shift.

Mac held out a paw to Tugger. "You ready to go home?" he asked softly.

Tugger nodded, taking the offered paw despite feeling he was too old to be holding hands, it wasn't like there was anywhere else they could go.

Mac sighed. He wished he had anywhere else he could take Tugger. What Cohen said nagged at the back of his mind and he led Tugger out of the room. He glanced down at his shirt again and winced. It was slightly chilly in the air, though not winter yet, and he had forgotten a coat and all Tugger had around his chest were the bandages. He hoped the buses would let him on in his state, of course, it was Felidae. "Come on," he said. "We should be able ta catch a bus."

Tugger nodded mutely, allowing Macavity to take charge again, the walk to the bus stop forming a background for his thoughts.
