Tugger ran a paw through his headfur, he sighed, "You didn't know she had a fella did you? Thing is, she never mentioned who he was, so when I saw her with you, well I guess I just assumed..."

Mac shrugged again. "No, I didn't, and no, I wasn't him. Honestly though, since she's the one ta make the first move, if she didn't care, I don't." It wasn't like the other tom was where now was it?

Tugger nodded slowly, looking hard at his eldest brother as he did so, trying to work out if there was something else. Finally he shook his head. "So uh, how's the last year bin' treatin' you?"

Macavity considered. "Not ta bad overall," he said. "Asides from the last few weeks anyway."

"I guess runnin a business like this keeps you pretty busy." Tugger paused frowning, "What's happened in the last few weeks? Aside from gettin' yourself shot?"

"Idiot accountant, idiot henches, new Police Commissioner that I have no idea how ta react ta, gettin' shot, gettin' ambused even and not figurin' it out until I was in the middle of it, dealin' with a queen that I have no idea how ta react to, doin' paperwork, and findin' out I have a witness ta deal with." He shrugged, fishing out his cigarettes and lighter.

"Jeez..." Tugger's ears flattened a little at the onslaught, half wishing he hadn't asked. He didn't say much more for the moment, still processing everything his brother had said.

Mac light the cigarette, watching his brother. "Wasn't all that bad," he said, offering something that might have looked like comfort. "It was just an annoyin' couple of weeks is all. Startin' ta look up again." Maybe. A little.

"Thought you didn't care about her fella?" Tugger asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That ain't the problem," Mac said, and perhaps a note of bitterness crept in. "She hadn't figured out that certain things were my doin' and didn't handle findin' out so well."

Tugger bit his lip, "That wouldn't have anythin' t'do with other things I said to you last night would it?"

"Yeah," he said. "She didn't know about some of the bodies--" literally in this case--"In my closet."

The fur along the back of Tugger's neck prickled slightly at those words, he still hadn't gotten the image of that body out of his mind, finding it oddly hard to link it to the Macavity he knew. He shifted in his seat again, "I'm sorry if I messed things up f'you." a pause as he figited again, "But she had t'find out sometime, right?"
