He shook his head. "Forget it."

"Jer?" she hated that he was closing up on her, it felt like something akin to disgust. "C'mon, I've tried t'answer you so far. I just..." she shook her head, "Alright, the Coral's smaller than other places, so mebbe I ain't likely t'run into anyone I know, but I also go there because it ain't too pricy or too busy, an' most of all I go f'the entertainment. They got a different run of acts almost every night."

He sighed heavily at that. "Fair enough....Y'..." He shook his head. "Fine."

She looked at him for a minute, then slipped from her own chair and came over to his, putting a paw on his arm, "If you've got somethin' y'want t'say Jer," she began, though her tone was more pleading than anything, "then please jus' tell me."

"I'm still tryin' to sort it, Tea." He took a deep breath, glancing up at her from under the brim of his hat. "It hurt. Kay?"

Teazer bit her lip, looking down, "I know." she told him softly, "For what it's worth, I'm sorry."

The torbie nodded a bit. "Yeah, s'okay." He rose. "I got some work that needs doin'."

It wasn't okay and she knew it, he was closing her off, pushing her away so it would hurt less if she did it again, Teazer wasn't sure what she was probably loosing more of from him, trust or respect.
Loose too much of either and she'd quickly loose the brother she knew and loved. At least, that was how it felt, "Jer, wait," she clutched his arm as he rose, "Please Jer, I never meant t'actually hurt you. I knew you'd be hurt if y'found out, but it ain't as if I did it jus' t'spite you either. But would y'ever've let me go if I'd told you?"

"Guess we won't know one way or th' other now, will we?" He almost snapped, but it sounded more resigned than it could have been. "I ain't happy 'bout y' goin' out, but at least it's possible I woulda known where y' were then if somethin' happened."

Teazer shrank back a little at Jerrie's initial response, though she still didn't let go of his arm. "Y'know where I am if I'm workin' late at the cafe, but y'still don't let me do that, unless it's a case of gettin' fired if I don't." she pointed out, too upset and feeling guilty to be angry about it, "If y'don't let me do that, there didn't seem like no way you'd let me go out at night t'do anythin' else."

"I dunno. Mighta come with. Mighta asked y' t' take somecat with y'. Mighta said no. I dunno." He answered seriously, shaking his head, but finally meeting her eyes.

He ears flicked a little as their eyes met, but she held his gaze steadily as she spoke, "I'm sorry Jer, I really honestly thought you'd say no. I know y'do it f'ther right reasons but you're normally so hard line about it with work... Never crossed my mind y'might suggest anythin' else." she shook her head, "I'm sorry." she added again.
