Taradan's tail twitched a little as he knocked on Zimmerman's office door. He didn't like having more to do with the mottled tom than nesseccary. However, he supposed at least he hadn't been called in there this time, he'd come, at least partly of his own accord, to relay what information Ricky had been able to pick up on Jones.
He still didn't like the kit being put in this position, but he was hoping that if they delievered, then Coricopat would have reason enough to keep his word, and also not leave the kit in such a dangerous position for too long. From the information Ricky had been able to give him, which wasn't much, more scraps of this and that, what he was really hoping was that Zimmerman might see that Ricky might be of better use elsewhere.

"Enter." Coricopat called, making sure his cane was out of sight. Cat, he wanted his nailfile back. He picked up a pen to fiddle with instead.

Taradan ignored the slight pricking of his fur at the sound of Zimmerman's voice and opened the door, stepping inside and shutting it softly behind him.
"Good evenin' Mr Zimmerman, I hope this ain't a bad time?"

"If it had been I would have told you to leave and would have had the door locked." He replied, icily. "What is it, Logan?"

Taradan's ears flicked a little, just because he tolerated being talked down to didn't mean he liked it. Nevertheless, he kept his tone respectful.
"I got a bit of information from my brother. It ain't a whole lot, but I figured it might be better t'report regular like."

"And what information is that?"

Taradan took a paper out of his jacket and crossed the room to place it on Coricopat's desk, "That's the basics of it, if y'want me t'expand on any of it, I'll try an' relay what Ricky said. It ain't easy f'him though since Jones only trusts him with runnin' messages an' the like, far as I know."

Coricopat glanced over the paper. "Well, this will do for the moment. Oh, by the way while we're on the topic. It would be useful if you could bring him in to talk about what exactly we're needing."

Once Taradan processed the meaning from Coricopat's casual delivery, he had to swallow back his immidiate reaction; he'd rather keep his brother at a distance from Zimmerman, and the Demoniaque, come to that. Yes he'd rather have Ricky working for the same side as he was on, if at all, but the idea of getting the kit more heavily involved by bringing him in didn't sit well with him at all.
"Y'sure that's nesseccary?" he asked finallly, "Not meanin' t'be rude, but if he was seen comin' in here by someone on Jones' end..."

Coricopat looked the hench over. "There are specific things that need to be discussed with him that we're looking for. I'm sure we can arrange to meet away from here with little difficulty."

Taradan rubbed the back of his head a little awkwardly, "I still don't know, y'never said about this originally." he was walking a fine line here and knew it, but he disliked how Zimmerman kept changing the deal. He felt like his brother was inadvertedly getting dragged deeper into this and a feeling of responsibility compelled him to at least try and protest.

Cori's eyes narrowed dangerously. He'd had a hell of a fortnight and he was not interested in arguing with underlings. "We can meet away from the Demoniaque if it comes to it."

Taradan nodded, "I figured y'meant that with what y'said before." he shook his head, "I'm jus'... He's still a kit, he don't deserve t'be dragged in so deep t'somethin'." he took an unconscious step backwards as he spoke; he was really pushing his luck here.

"He dragged himself rather deeply in already. Just offer it to him. Understood?"

"Mmm." Taradan nodded, adding in a mutter, more to himself than Coricopat, "Bleedin' kit had no idea what he was gettin' himself into."
He sighed heavily, but nodded, knowing he was getting off lightly with Zimmerman at least bothering to make this sound like Ricky had a choice, how much of one he really had, Taradan was less sure. "Alright, I'll talk t'him."
