Mac nodded. "Rather. Well then, was there anythin' else you needed?"

Tantomile gathered up the files and put them quickly into her empty briefcase, "I don't think so." all the same, there was a long pause as she shuffled some of the papers around for a better fit and clicked the briefcase closed, focusing on the fastenings a moment too long before she straightened. "Look, I... I apologise if I was out of order last night."

Mac considered her, leaning back a bit farther as he did so. "It was a stressful time," he said finally. As much as he was certainly not going to apologize, he couldn't think of a graceful way to accept one either. "You were out of line, yes, but in light of the circumstances, I think I can let it go... this time."

Tantomile nodded, not entirely trusting herself to speak. The tip of her tail twitched in irritation at the reprimand, but she had the sense to keep her mouth shut.

Mac took a breath, glancing around, not entirely sure what to say more than that.

Tantomile had been intending to leave after that, so what she said instead almost entirely surprised her. "I did actually go and visit him today..." she let the sentance hang, for once unsure where she was going with it.

Mac arched a brow. "And how did that go?"

She thought for a long time before responding, "Both better and worse than it could have."

"Well that's not a confusin' answer," Mac replied, crossing him arms over his chest. "What happened?"

Tantomile for a moment wished she hadn't mentioned it. She was sure he wasn't going to like what he heard. "We started off on what I believed to be rather encouraging terms."

"Which is good..." Mac said, tilting his head as he looked her over. "And...?"

"As I said, things started that way. Unfortunately I don't think you'll find it difficult to believe that it was too good to last." she resisted the temptation to add that Coricopat had been the one to sour things, since she didn't think that would go down so well with Macavity.

Mac considered the queen in front of him. "Happens that way sometimes," he said. "Especially around Cor." He was a little surprised most cats hadn't figured the mottled tom out. He was pretty simple really. But oh well, their loss, not his.

"Yes, well I suppose an entirely civilised meeting would be too much to hope for these days." Tantomile admitted, unable to stop the hint of bitterness in her tone.

Mac shrugged slightly. He wasn't too sympathetic to her, but he was probably one of the few cats that might understand where she was coming from. "Sometimes it is," he said. "You have ta take what's given ta you and run with it."
