"I'd like to know what you did to get the ADA that angry with you, and what he was talking about when it came to your living arrangements?"

"I didn't do anything," Misto protested--except of course kiss back. "At least not anything out of the norm. As to the living arrangements," he paused again. At least he had already told Jerrie that he'd been living in the mottled tom's house. "I had been living in his house the last few weeks," he said, voice dropping as he said it.

The lawyer's brows rose at that. "You've what?"

"Been living at his house? I'm clearly not anymore so I'm not sure why that would matter."

Munkus shook his head. "I just never thought I'd hear the day someone said they were living in Coricopat's house. Whatever for?"

Misto scowled at that. "Because I'd been kicked out by my uncle and why he offered me his place? No damn clue. The one thing I do understand about him is that I have no idea how his brain works."

"Your uncle? And that's rather altruistic for the cold, unfeeling cat that Zimmerman is."

Oh hell, a cat who didn't know who his uncle was. Admitting to being related to Jones was never something Misto enjoyed much. "Bustopher Jones," he said with a sigh. "So I'm sure it was only partly altruistic." He was bristling somewhat at all of Munkustrap's descriptions of Coricopat, but he could hardly protest them.

Munkustrap's ears laced at the mention of Jones. "I see. And you just accepted the lodgings, no questions asked?"

"Does that matter?" Misto asked, eyes flickering up to where the silver tabby's ears were going back.

"I'm just trying to figure out why a cat who I have never known to act without it directly benefiting himself would give you his house to stay in."

Misto's mouth thinned. "Does it matter?" he repeated. "Besides, I'm sure he thought he was getting something out of it."

Munkus' brows rose at that. "I'm not even going to consider pursuing that line of thought. What about your reaction though? That's where I'm confused."

Misto's eyes widened and the fur along his tail stood on end halfway through Munkustrap's sentence. "What about my reactions were so confusing?"

"Your ears lowered, your tail wrapped around your leg. You made yourself as small a target as you could. It's a sign of hurt--a defensive move."
