"I have no reason to trust you. You've been deceitful before," Munkustrap replied. Original plans? What was going on? He didn't know what to do in this situation.
"... don't get Alonzo," he growled. He wouldn't touch the issue.
"What the fuck do you want? Talk. I don't have all day."

Hiss. "If you value your hide or your brother's, you do."
Macavity frowned at him. "Don't get pushy with me, kitten. I may be in your territory as an enemy, but this is mine just as much as it is yours. In my own right, I can walk freely here. For that reason and many others, I suggest you listen very closely and ask your questions wisely. Agreed?"

"You were exiled from here for a reason, Macavity. You have your territory, and we have ours. No Man's Land is not far from here. You should be lucky I don't attack you on sight."
The name tasted bitter on his lips. It angered him. The boiling fury was starting to emerge. "You leave my brother out of this. This is between you and me. What are you planning to do?"

"I wasn't exiled, Munkustrap. I left willingly. That's an important difference." Yellow eyes narrowed, glaring evenly into the tabby's own eyes. "I don't know what Deuteronomy told everyone. This 'exiled' bullshit is adorable. It almost makes me want to exercise my right to the Junkyard itself."
There was a level of avoidance that he displayed. He needed absolute emotional and psychological control before he could really get down to business.

"You're wasting my time, and your threats are obnoxious," he growled. "What do you want?" More insistence. He wouldn't give in to the cat. He refused to give in to the cat.

Then, he smiled. "I want a lot of things, Munkustrap.." He lifted his hand and reached to brush his fingertips fleetingly across the other's jaw. "Pretty things.. untouchable things. Power is nice, too. But we all have our weaknesses and our urges, of course.."

Munkustrap took a step backward. "Don't touch me." A sentence that said it all. There was discomfort in the touch. More than that, anger.

He withdrew his hand, but the smile never left. "You were so ready to fight minutes ago. Why do you recoil? Don't tell me your bravery is subjective.. that'd be unfortunate." His ear twitched, straining to listen for any rats. Satisfied, he continued, "Calm down, Munkustrap. I'd warn you that you'd be getting grey hair from too much stress, but.. you know. Take a few breaths.. relax. I insist."

"There's a difference between fighting and touching like that." His arms folded. "I'm not enthused."

Tugger was still hovering behind Munkustrap. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to run and hide, but he couldn't leave Munkustrap. Not with Macavity! He wanted to just reach over and slash his eyes out, but he knew he wouldn't stand a chance.

His body stayed braced, and he was acutely aware of his older brother. Telling Tugger what to do wouldn't work after a degree. He wanted to protect Tugger. He wanted to protect everyone. But Tugger had pride. If he questioned whether Munkustrap was doubting his ability to fight... he feared that consequence.
Already, he'd cried in his arms. Though it was a perfect time.
"Kitrina," he said, unaware of any other nickname used. "She had your scar. How is she connected to you?" A direct question.

"You never are, little tabby," he murmured under his breath. Louder, he continued, "Why does it interest you? She's obviously made home and friend here, and more now that she's kneeling at your feet instead of another tom's. Does it sully her skills knowing she honed them with my gang?"
His stare traveled beyond Munkustrap to the maine coon. A smile was granted. "Don't hide, Tugger. You should be playing the role of the big brother here. Then again, you failed once.. what's a second time?"

Munkustrap's nostrils flared. "This has nothing to do with sex, Macavity, and you know it. What's your angle with all this shit?!" A little bit of a growl. His temper was wearing thin; he never was one for mind games.

Tugger gave Macavity a token hiss. What else could he do? But...was she still working for Macavity or not? He couldn't work out what Macavity was saying.

"Actually, it does. She was the fuck buddy to one of my best. That's all she was. Sex is what she was good at, and thus, only used for. Am I to assume that she's lost her touch? Not that I worry. Bombalurina is always around and best in that field, anyway."
His eyes narrowed then, gaining an amount of seriousness. "I'm not here to discuss the current uses of queens' vaginas, however. I'm here to tell you that it's high time I claimed my inheritance. I don't care of Tugger is the eldest. That could be fixed."

Munkustrap started growling as soon as Macavity gave the description of Kitrina; the story somewhat worked what Kit had relayed, although Kit's had more desperation. Kit said it was hard, but didn't imply whore. He wasn't sure what the growl was for, exactly, just that he was angry.
"Inheritance?!" he snapped, head lifting. "The fuck are you talking about, you dirty son of a bitch?!" And, again, he stood taller. That could be fixed? He knew what that meant.
"You so much as think about laying a hand on my brother, and I'll rip your throat out," he growled. His protective instinct overrode everything else.

Macavity grinned. Victorious, malevolent, and downright cocky as he spread his arms out as though for an embrace. "He's my brother as much as he is yours, and you mine. I was Leroux when I left you, my brothers.. it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

Munkustrap blinked before he looked at Tugger, ignoring the arms at hand.
"Who the fuck is Leroux?"
It came out bluntly, not a trace of recognition on his face. It wasn't accusatory at all, and maybe that was the worst thing about it. A simple, honest question. Who was Leroux?

Tugger couldn't help his reaction. "Bastard!" he hissed. "How dare you say such things!" He stepped forward and lashed out at Macavity. How dare he soil his brother's name like that!

Quick to react, Macavity distanced himself from Tugger in a few steps backwards. The reactions from each of them mildly surprised him.. more, pleased him. It'd hit home eventually. "Damn your eyes, Tugger! I'm not here to fight with you!"
He lifted his hands in front of him defensively, showing a sort of submissive attitude. He wasn't there to test combat skills.. not that either of them believed it. "Listen to me. There are few things I tell the truth about, and my bloodline is one of them. You're making this worse for you if you keep trying to fight me."

It was stupid. A completely stupid move. But Munkustrap wasn't always rational. This was one of those times as he shoved his way between the pair, a hand on each of their chests, directly in the line of claws and teeth. "STOP IT! Fucking STOP IT! What the FUCK is GOING ON?!" He growled, tip of his tail thumping.

Upon impact of the tabby's hand on his chest, Macavity instinctively snarled at its owner, but did nothing else in terms of violence. He glared around Munkustrap at his elder brother, his tail lashing to the side in growing irritation. "I will give you one more chance to ease up on the attacking, Tugger - ONE more chance. I swear to the Cat if you keep doing this, I'll show no mercy on you when I take what's mine."
His eyes flashed to Munkustrap as he backed up, away from his touch. "Whether you remember or not, we were kittens together. Tugger knows. Look at him," he added, gesturing to the other tom. "Not changed at all. You were always full of yourself. It's common that the middle kitten gets forgotten in favor of the youngest or the oldest. Do I care anymore? No. Those are years past since I decided I'd prove to you, to Dad.. to Deuteronomy that I could be worth something, and not some skinny, shy little tom.
"I rule the underworld now. I am the eyes and ears of these streets, these cities. The roles have been reversed; I'm the dominant. I very strongly advise that you CEASE any other temper tantrums right now, Tugger.. calm the hell down and let's talk."

"Ruler of the Underworld? How cliché can you get?" Munkustrap said dryly, turning his body to face Macavity. His eyes burned with an anger that he rarely displayed. "You will not touch my brother." Something fierce. Harsh.
"I advise you either say your business, or leave."

"You're pathetic," Tugger spat. "You're not him. You look nothing like him! You really expect me to believe you? How insane are you?!"

"Tugger," Munkustrap said more quietly, never moving his eyes from Macavity, making sure to take a step to cover the other. That instinct was kicking in again.
