"Unless you can turn the clock back some twenty-four years, no, I don't think so." He realized how that could sound and sighed, "I'm sorry, Electra. I appreciate the offer, I just...To think that leaving us in that house was doing what was best...."

That last sentence got a long blink out of Electra. "Even if it's just talking about it," she said softly. "It's not much, but a good ear can sometimes help a lot." She paused, swallowing. "But why would she ever think leaving her kits would be best for them?" The very idea made her ears flicker back hard.

He shook his head. "I...have no idea. She's delusional, and probably always was. She knew what she was leaving us with and still walked out."

One of Electra's eyes flickered slightly, almost wanting to ask what she had left them with, and unable to decide whether she should risk it or not. "I'm sorry," she said softly.

Munkustrap sighed, shrugging, "I just...didn't expect to ever hear about her again."

"Yeah... but at least you know what happened to her?" Electra said softly. "Sometimes that's better than always being left with that mystery."

"After the fight she left with?" He shook his head, "I'm not certain any of us really cared. Yes, it's good to know what happened, but God above it hurts."

Nodding, Electra reached out and laid a paw over Munkustrap's, squeezing it lightly. "I know, at least somewhat. I'm so sorry. If there is anything..."

He turned his paw over to twine his fingers with hers. "Thank you."

"Always," she replied softly. "Any time you need me, I'm here."

He offered her a flickering smile. "Thank you, so very much."

She returned the flickering smile. "Are you going to be alright?" she asked, voice soft.

He sighed. "I should be. As long as I keep tot he same schedule as always I'll be fine." Since he wasn't entirely sure he was in the right state of mind to deal with the eventuality of encountering his father.

She frowned slightly. "Stick to the same schedule?" she asked, not quite comprehending what he meant by that.

He realized what he'd said, but nodded slightly anyway. "Yes, it's always best not to get in too late."
