"Any reason to trust me? No, but I didn't give him any reason not to either."

Mac laughed softly, but not with humor. "Considerin' the kind of life we lead? A good does of paranoia and disinclination ta trust cats is a good idea. Sides, just think about the poor kit, he probably had no idea what was goin' on when your brother showed up bleedin' all over the house."

"Maybe so." she didn't sound entirely convinced. "What do you make of him, if you don't mind my asking?"

"He's Jones' nephew. I don't think I would have wanted ta grow up in that house. He hates the cat though, which is good. He's twitchy as hell, until you 'et his back up against somethin'. You make anythin' of him?"

"I didn't really get the chance," she admitted, "though I can certainly see where you're coming from. Certainly unsure of himself, until something he cares about comes up. That's the other reason why he struck me as oddly protective. One moment I'd have taken him for a pushover, the next he's informing me in the most authorative tone that if I don't calm down, he'll make me leave."

Mac blinked and then suddenly cracked up laughing. "He told you somethin' like that? All, what, five foot four of him?"

Tantomile nodded, though she was scowling at the memory, though more in relation to her brother than to Mistoffelees.

Mac shook his head again, suddenly liking the smaller tom in absence a bit more. "Well then. Sounds like quite the visit all around."

"That's one way to put it, certainly."

Mac shook his head again, still amused, almost despite himself.

"Still, I doubt Cori would take kindly to anyone else, so probably rather lucky for him he had Quaxo staying there." Tantomile surmised, "At least he seems to be in capeable hands, as much as I'm sure he's hating it."

Mac nodded. "Hatin' it is puttin' it lightly, but hopefully he'll be fine... scratch that, hopefully both of them will be fine."

"Well it's not as if he's in a position to do any damage, so I suppose he'd better like it or lump it." Tantomile remarked, knowing full well it would be the latter.

Mac arched a brow, about to ask her if she knew her brother at all. "He's more than capable of inflictin' plenty of damage," Mac remarked, not expanding that he hadn't been referring to either of their physical states at all.
