Jerrie's ears flickered back a bit and put a gentle paw on his sister's knee. "Tea? What happened?"

"I did somethin' stupid." her voice wasn't much above a whisper.

He frowned in confusion. "What d'ya mean?"

"Y'promise y'won't get mad." she wasn't going to tell him the whole story anyway, but she felt the need to let some of it out.

She bit her lip, considering, "Me I guess, I don't need you t'tell me I've bin' stupid, but I don't want y'goin' an' doin' anythin' stupid either if y'do get mad at him."

Jerrie took a deep breath. "I won't get mad at y' Tea, an' I'll do my best when it comes t' him."

She nodded, " 'Kay." she was silent for a moment, fiddling with the hem of her skirt before finally attempting to explain, "I went f'lunch between split shifts t'day with a tom... Jus' as friends, least that's what I thought... I dunno, what he thought, I still don't... I... he turned nasty, started sayin' I was useless, and a waste of time, an' that he'd bin' I guess, usin' me, I dunno what he wanted, I still don't..." she shook her head, staring at her lap, the tears starting to fall, "I'm scared Jer..."

Jerrie forced himself to relax, moving to perch on the arm of his sister's chair and draw her into his embrace. "Shh, Tea, I ain't gonna let anythin' happen t' y'..." He paused for a moment before adding. "Sides, y' friends with th' Police Commissioner, doubt 'e would either." He ran a gentle paw over her ears like he had when they were kits.

Jerrie felt the motion, speaking quietly. "Somethin' else?"

"I.." she shook her head again, " 'S'nothin' guess I made a fool of myself in front of him too..." the words were indistinct, spoken into Jerrie's shirt, Teazer's tail curled and she almost cringed at what she was saying, admitting this to her brother of all cats.

He couldn't believe he was going to say this. "I doubt that's true. I'm sure y' fine when it comes t' him."

"I dunno, ran inta' him at lunch, I dunno what he must've thought... I'm probably silly t'even think of him like that anyway..." she swallowed, realising she'd just said that out loud.
