"I'm flattered," Brachen said with a wink. "Not that I don't like the attention, but lets hope you're the only one."

Mac winced slightly, inclining his head. "I figure I would be. After all, I'm the only cat who saw your methods up close like that before. And can place the fact you just came back with the timin'."

"That's good," Brachen replied. "I should have known you'd know. I kind of did, but I wasn't sure."

He nodded again, sighing. "It took me a while ta see the paper though. But once I did..."

"I promise I'll be more careful. I've done this kind of thing a lot."

Macavity gave him a long look. "I know you have..." he said softly. Only, last time he'd almost gotten lynched and he was getting older...

"It's nothing strange for Felidae. Another unsolved murder by the docks. The bodies used to drop like fruit in the old days." Brachen smirked. "You had to have left your own surprises for Felidae's finest since I left."

Mac winced slightly but nodded. "Still, it's not good ta leave things like that around..."

"No, no it's not. And there was no way to make it look like an accident." He smiled somberly. "It was certainly sloppy."

Swallowing, Mac glanced around, feeling more uncomfortable than he once had with topics like this with Brachen. Brachen seemed... crazier, and he had so much more at stake now. He couldn't afford mistakes like that, and he didn't want to see Brachen make them either. "Why, anyway?" he asked finally.

Brachen shot a look at Mac, something wan and nervous on his face. "I haven't been controlling my urges so well lately..." he cackled. "And that priest he just, reminded me of something I've been trying to forget about."

Mac's frown only became more pronounced. "Brachen..."

Brachen rolled his shoulders and took another bite out of his cookie. "Damn it, Mac, finish your sentences. I don't know what you're thinking."

Mac sighed, ears drooping a little. "Look, just be careful, okay? Things change. You've 'otten older, and the city has a Commish who 'ives a damn now."

"I will," Brachen said as honestly as he could. "I'm surprised there's an honest tom in charge, though. Never thought I'd see the day."
