"Oh." His head cocked to the side a little curiously. "What was his name? What was he like?" More questions. "Dad never talked about you. What do you do? What do you like?"

"Me?" Buster asked. "I do whatever I feel like, mostly. Wander about. Adventuring. Meeting people."

Tumblebrutus couldn't help the look of disappointment on his face. He frowned, arms crossing over his chest, an "oh" mumbled. Skimbleshanks had better stories than that. Anything more than just something so brief.
He rubbed the back of his neck. "How come I haven't met you before?"

"Because I haven't been down here in convenient time before," Buster explained. "I kept trying to get your dad to bring you up on the train to Scotland, but he didn't want o drag you that way. And I don't think your mother would approve either."

"Oh... and my humans I guess either... they're really good to me." More curiously, he seemed to think a little. "But you knew about me? Well, enough if you knew I was the younger. Do you know Victor? No... you couldn't if that was the case." He rubbed the back of his neck, scratching by the tag of his shirt.

"I knew Victor was the older one. I never thought my brother would be one to have kittens so early," Buster said. "Haven't seen him yet. Just got here."
He pulled a bag up behind him to emphasise the point. "But I see my reputation precedes me with your mother."

"Oh." Tumblebrutus looked around then, maybe seemingly over-exaggerated though he meant it in all seriousness. "She gets really moody a lot. A looooot lot, I mean. But I'm sure she doesn't mean you're bad or anything." And, curiosity drug on further.
"Everyone says that. About Dad. But I mean, is it really so young and abnormal?" Bigger thoughts or one still young. "What sort of reputation do you have?" Curiosity. His face perked at the thought. "Are you like a bandit or something? Because that's totally ace!"

"Hah, the only think I steal is hearts," Buster said. "I'm, shall we say, prone to roaming."

Tumblebrutus cocked his head to the side. "... don't follow."
But then, his face lit up. "Do you have kits? Do we have cousins? I've never had an uncle before and I've never had cousins... I have a nephew, though."

"I have four, here and there," Buster answered. "I try to stop in on them over my travels from time to time."

"Four? Four cousins?" Excitement was an understatement for the tom, and his tail started to swish more eagerly.
"Do they look like me at all? Victor doesn't look too much like me, I don't think. He looks more like Mom and Dad. But I really look like my grandfather? I've never even though about family so much."

Buster chuckled. "It's hard to say if they look like you. Mostly they take after their mothers more."

"Oh." He frowned and rubbed at his nose. "I wish I took after my mom more. Then I'd be prettier." The idea that he could be considered attractive really didn't come to mind for the tom, ever.

"Come on," Buster said. "I get my looks from my father," he pointed out. "So you have the same looks. And the queens haven't complained yet."

Tumblebrutus offered a little bit of a face at that before picking at his shirt a little. "The queens don't complain, but they don't notice I'm alive, either. It's all about the bigger toms."

"The quiet shy guy can change," Buster persisted. "An the nice queens will choose the nice guy in the end. You come from a family with a habit of being very well mannered and experts at the art of love. You'll do fine."

"I thought nice guys finished last," he murmured, then a bit more curiously. "Well-mannered? Have you even met my brother? Oh, well, uh. No, you probably haven't, but..." His nose wrinkled distastefully. And then, more cautiously, "What about toms? Who do they choose in the end?"
