"It ain't a problem." Jerrie replied, finally rising. "Well, I gotta go see if I can figure out what's makin' th' truck rattle...."

"Right," Misto murmured, nodding. He was starting to think he could brave whatever Teazer had to say about him making dinner, because otherwise he was going to lose his mind.

Jerrie paused, considered saying something more, but simply went to locate his coat. The front door closed behind him, quietly.
((Exit Jerrie))

Misto waited until he heard the door close, before burying his face in his arms on the table, trying to convince himself that crying was going to get him nowhere. After a moment or two of remembering how to breath, he forced himself upright and started making dinner. He could deal with Teazer one way or another about it later, but if he didn't have something to do he was going to lose his mind.

It was just beginning to get dark as Teazer arrived back at the house, she'd ended up working an hour's overtime at the cafe that afternoon, and was later home than she might've been. Balancing a flattish cardboard box in one hand and fumbling for her keys with the other, she stopped as she caught sight of her brother by the truck, veering away from the front door and towards him instead.

Jerrie stepped back from the truck, closing the hood and wiping his paws off on a rag. He glanced toward the house and blinked when he saw his sister. "Evenin' Tea."

"Evenin' Jer," she offered her brother a smile, though she was frowning slightly, "gettin' a bit late t'be tryin' t'do this ain't it? I was gonna' get dinner started, but if y'need t'get it fixed I can come out with a torch?"

"Was jus' finishin' up. I'll find m'self a lamp if'n I need one." He paused. "I think Misto mentioned makin' dinner..."

Teazer nodded, "Alright, but don't be stayin' out here too late, it's bleedin' cold. She frowned slightly at the mention of Mistoffelees cooking, "Does he know we got cold meat that needs usin' up t'day? Hafta' throw it otherwise, unless you wanna take a lunch tomorrow? It might jus' keep til then."

Teazer nodded, though she was still frowning slightly as she glanced towards the house, just hope he ain't makin' anythin' too fillin'." she held up the box she was carrying, "I got dessert from work." she shook her head, "Though no doubt you'll polish off whatever I stick in front of'y.

"Well, go in an' talk to 'im if y' worried 'bout it." Jerrie replied, turning his attention back to the truck.

Teazer nodded, "I will," though she paused for a moment longer, "Jer, you an' him ain't had some kinda' bust up have'y?"

"No, Tea, nothin' like that. Jus' sortin' some stuff out in my head. Y' know I need somethin' t' do when I'm doin' that." Came the reply as he knelt in preparation to slide under the chassis.

She frowned at him but nodded, letting it drop, "Alright, I'll shout y'when dinner's ready."
