Misto gaped at him in almost terror for a moment. "I'm not telling every cat I met on the street, I'm telling you because you've been my friend for the last ten years." He ran a paw through his headfur. "And because both your brothers know and Jerrie knows so I would rather tell you than have you find out some other way. And I kinda picked up on the 'not taking so kindly to it' since Jerrie has stopped talking to me," he continued, starting to get a little flustered, and his paws making motions in the air. "And, and...I don't know. I've liked gals before just fine and I don't think I like other guys but I... I certainly do him."

Tugger's eyes widened somewhat as he took in everything Mistoffelees was saying. He glanced towards the basement stairs at the mention of Mungojerrie. "Y'told Jerrie?" he lowered his voice, "And his best reaction's t'ignore'y? I'd say you mebbe' got off light there, good thing he's lived in this city so long." he shook his head, realising his words were likely not helping, "But still, he ain't kicked you out, so things can't be all that bad." he sighed, processing the rest of what else had been said, "Figures Mac knows, if Zimmerman were gonna' tell anyone.... and I ain't even gonna' ask how 'Straps found out."
There was a long pause before Tugger added, "If it's jus' Zimmerman, mebbe' all the more reason t'get him outta' your head once and f'all."

"I didn't tell Jerrie," Misto said. "Your brother managed that one." He looked away again, one ear flickering. "And, ah... I'm trying. But..." shaking his head he looked back at the other tom. "I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have said anything," he said, tugging at his tie.

Tugger sighed, "Might've bin' a darn sight easier not t'know. But y'said it now, so unless anyone's gonna invent that time machine pretty quick, that ain't gonna change. Y'need t'forget Zimmerman. Get things back t'normal a bit."

Misto kept his eyes on Tugger for a moment longer before letting them drop. "I know," he murmured. "I'm trying." At least, he wanted to be trying. The fact that he had a bookmark halfway through House of Seven Gables was delaying that a good deal.

Tugger sighed, "When's your next night off?"

"Ah... the night after next I think, but Jerrie wants me to look into something then I think. Why?" he asked, tail flickering behind him. Everlasting cat he felt tired, and he hadn't even been to work yet.

"I was thinkin' mebbe' me and you should go out f'the night, have a few drinks, mebbe dance with a couple of gals." Tugger explianed, though he was still frowning, "What did Jer want y'for?"

"Oh, right," Misto said. "Brother didn't mention it then? Jerrie wants me to do sales for your still there in the basement. And a night out... might be good." It would be hell, but he could try at least.

"No," Tugger shook his head, frown returning. "Munk didn't mention it, though it's hardly the surprise of the night." his tone was just a little hurt though, he certiainly didn't mind Mistoffelees joining them, and cat knew they could do with the extra paws, but the idea that he had been left out of the decision making, that did sting a bit.

Misto's ear flickered at the frown. "He asked me after I found the still in the basement. It's hard not to put together something like that and he thought it would be useful is all... you're brother also happened to be here about that time to ask him something..." he murmured.

"Right." Tugger's tone was a little expressionless. That still didn't change the fact that Munkustrap hadn't mentioned it to him. "Anyway, I got work to do with Jerrie tonight."

Misto wavered a moment and nodded. "Yeah, I... wanted to be the one to tell you, things, by the way," he murmured, still feeling twitchy and uncertain around the other. "About working with you, and about... him. Not your brother. But I, I have to get to work too now," he said, pulling his pocket watch out and his eyes widening slightly at the time. "Really, really need to get to work. So I'll see you around?"

"Yeah," Tugger nodded, "sure." a pause, "Look me up when you got a free night, yeah."

Misto nodded. "Certainly. I'll see you around, yeah?" he said, before he grabbed his coat and hat, stepping out into the rain.
