His older brother shrugged. "Not much ta be done. You needed ta 'et a degree, and well, that's how it goes sometimes."

"Still. After us watching out for him it feels like I dropped the ball."

Mac snorted mirthlessly. "Yeah, well, you did a little but, what's happened has happened."

The silver tabby leaned back a bit. "Yeah..." He thought for a moment. "How's it been since Prohibition kicked in?"

Mac raised a brow and leaned back farther. "Well, the 'angs are gettin' a whole lot more money, that's for sure." He would know after all.

Mac's face darkened slightly. "Well, he's certainly not gettin' any dryer, if that's what you were askin'. Took him about a week before findin' an underground waterin' hole."

He grimaced. "Wonderful."

The front door banged again as the youngest Hollister brother arrived home; Tugger was making for the stairs but stopped short when he saw the suitcases. "Mac," he called out, tone just a little cautious, "y'home?"

Mac's ears flickered at that, and he gave Munkustrap a long look. "Yeah, Tug," he said, rising and going to meet his brother in the hallway. "So, 'uess who came home?" Blunt, maybe, but he'd rather tell Tugger than have Tugger come all the way into the room and see Munkustrap with no warning.

Munkustrap looked in the direction of the voice, his brow rising as he calculated how old Tugger would be--he supposed it explained why he didn't immediately recognize the voice, considering how much it had changed.

"I was about t'ask if they...." Tugger trailed off as the meaning of Macavity's words sunk in. He was silent for a long moment, ears flicking back to stay laying flat on his head, tail curling about himself. "Jeeze," he said finally, voice oddly quiet, "I... he's in there?" Tugger indicated the living room.

Mac sighed at Tugger's body language. Well, this might go worse than he had originally been thinking. "Yeah, he's in there. Sent a note ahead but it just arrived today about the same time he did so..."
