Brachen paused to consider that. Hollister was new to the organization, so it made sense that he still wasn't making enough money to substitute for a full-time job. "I understand. Just give it a couple of years- you'll scratch your way up to a management position in no time. I probably would have, if I cared for management. Then you'll have little bits and pieces of the big time...Although, if you decide you want to be a professional hitter, I assure you you'll always have a job. Wherever you go."

Mac blinked at that, somewhat surprised by the almost complimentary nature of being told he was good at killing cats. "Thanks," he mumbled finally.

Brachen could tell that the kid was still nervous about it - he'd have to see if he could ween him off that. "Should be a pretty quiet week." The boss might have words with him about that one cat, but his services were valuable enough that he wasn't concerned. "But I know there should be some work for us by this time next week - someone's looking to infringe and that's not the boss' favorite color."

Macavity bit the inside of his lip, trying not to think about that type of work quite yet. He glanced over toward the clock and blinked at it for a moment. "Ah, well, just let me know then. Should, head out for tonight though, it's gettin' really late." He paused. "Thanks for the coffee though."

"Anytime. Be careful walking back. There are a lot of weirdos out there, yeah?" Brachen said with surprising ease. "And don't forget - ice cream tomorrow."

Managing not to say that they certainly added to the weirdo population, Mac blinked at him for a moment before nodding. "Ah, right. I'll see you then?"

"Wouldn't miss it, M." He tapped his foot on the floor excitedly. "I'm not kidding, I love ice cream like some cats love green."

Mac smiled faintly and nodded. "Alright, see you then. Have a good night," he said, slipping out the door.

Brachen watched Hollister go and pondered his evening. He'd...actually had company over. This was a new development. Suddenly, his strange fortress seemed a little less strange. Most importantly? His mind was quiet.
Brachen went back into the kitchen to make himself more coffee.
