Misto blinked and him, and nodded too rapidly. "Y-yeah, sure, why wouldn't it?"

One of Coricopat's brows rose at that. "You're not especially good at lying."

"Haaaah?" Misto said, having meant to protest that and only a long sound coming out instead, though it was meant to be a protesting sound.

Cori's brow only arched higher. "I'll take that to mean you'd rather not discuss it."

"Could go with that answer," Misto said, voice still a little strained. "I just, I don't know, I'm not sure how often I've heard you actually say "you're welcome" before."

"I believe I may have said it when I first gave you that tie."

Misto nodded, glancing down at his leg. "Here, let me look at your leg again," he muttered, before, "Yeah, you said it then. And you said it again in reference to the tie, but not to anything else. Not to the house, or the room, or the job, but the tie." His eyes flickered up and then back down as he touched the bandage on Cori's leg, considering it and the fact he would probably have to change it again.

Cori fought the instinct to draw his leg away at the contact as he replied. "Well, the tie was a gift."

"What was everything else then?" Misto murmured, pulling the bandages away. "Alright, you know this will sting, so just hold on," he said, reaching for the anti-septic.

The lawyer grimaced at the application of the anti-septic, taking a deep breath before answering. "They...they were different. Mutually beneficial. The tie? That's a gift, plain and simple."

Misto swallowed, lifting up Cori's leg slightly. "Can you hold it up for a minute?" he asked, unrolling the bandages. "Everything looks like it's healing well," he murmured. "And... again, thank you. It," his eyes flickered up and down again. "Meant a lot."

Cor braced his foot against the mattress to keep his leg elevated a bit, nodding a bit, but not repeating the 'you're welcome' again. "Of course."

Misto smiled faintly. Now there was a response he was more used to. He wrapped the bandages quickly. "There," he said. "Now just your paws. How are they feeling?"

"Clumsy with these bandages on them, but fine I suppose."

Misto unwrapped the right paw. "Well, they look like they've mostly stopped bleeding, though it might be best to leave the bandages on a little while longer? At the very least, you'll have to be really careful with them. I was told you aren't allowed to have a nailfile for at least a month."
