Tugger dozed in front of the TV, something he seemed to be getting far too much into the habit of doing of late. He'd dispaired slightly after his phone call with Demeter a few days ago, he really didn't feel like he was able to get any information that was helpful to the rebels, just a lot of confusing loose ends he had no idea how to follow up. This didn't make him particularly pro active about his life.

There was a knock on the door.

Munkustrap made sure to repress he mild glee at a chance to do the annoying to his brother. Tugger had been far too happy to make things difficult for Munkustrap in the past. Now that Tugger had been to quiet and mopey lately, it was Munkustrap's turn to have the fun.

Tugger awoke with a start. Blinking at the television for a moment before realising the knocking sound had come from the front door. He turned the television off and went to answer it, half thinking it might be Bombalurina, he couldn't imagine who else would be calling round.

Certainly, his silver tabby brother was the last cat he expected to see standing there.

"Evening, Tugger," Munkustrap said. "I do hope I'm not disturbing you right now."

Ah, formality lying.

Tugger felt his fur bristle at the smooth tones, but did his best to keep a lid on his hostility, he knew lying and saying he was busy would likely just make Munkustrap persistant, so he shook his head. "Uh, not really." He raised an eyebrow at his brother, "Can I ask what this is in aid of?"

"I thought I'd just drop by and see you," Munkustrap said smoothly. "You've been so quiet lately, that I haven't seen much of my brother."

He could have said 'favourite brother' but that might be pushing it. Although since the alternative was Macavity, he could say Tugger was his favoured of the two.

Who did Munkustrap think he was kidding, there was something going on here for sure and Tugger didn't like it one bit. However, short of making himself look more suspicious, there was precious little he could do.

"I supposed you'd better come in then." reluctantly, he held open the door for his brother.

Munkustrap happily walked in the door. The sense of frustration from his brother was like candy.

"So, how are you? You have been awfully quiet lately."

"I'm fine." Tugger's reply was guarded as he closed the door behind his brother, ensuring Munkustrap headed for the living room.

"So, how are things going for you?" Munkustrap asked. "Getting ready for responsibility, are we?" he chuckled.

Tuuger could have growled at that, wondering if his brother knew the kitten wasn't his.

"I suppose." was all he said to that.

"Should be an interesting change, to say the least," Munkustrap said. "Are you getting everything in order in the meantime?" he asked.

Tugger took a seat on the sofa, not bothering to offer one to his brother, knowing Munkustrap would sit anyway if he wanted to. "What do you mean?"

Munkustrap offered a non-committal shrug. "Oh, you know. Appropriate place to bring the kitten, finances..." he said innocently.

"If y'mean am I moving in with Bomba, the answer is no." Tugger told him bluntly.

"Not just that," Munkustrap said. "I mean, do you have enough money to be looking after a kitten? You're not squandering it elsewhere, are you?"

"No more than usual," Tugger's tail twitched wondering what all of this was about and fearing the worst, "why?"

"Just wondering," Munkustrap said simply. "You just don't seem to be using your bank account normally."

Tugger raised an eyebrow, inwardly trying to surpress the panic that was rising inside, "And you'd know?"

"Of course," Munkustrap said simply. "You are my brother, and, frankly, I don't trust you to make good judgements. I want to check that you are looking after yourself properly."

"Meaning?" Tugger asked, though he'd guessed the answer already.

"Squandering money on foolish ventures," Munkustrap said simply. "Poor decisions for you future."

Perhaps a little more pointed there.

"Didn't think I was squandering anything." Tugger frowned at his brother, deciding it was better to play dumb. No reason he should give his brother any clues, especially if Munkustrap really did think that Tugger was still the irrisponsible cat he had been in his youth.
