For a long moment Mistoffelees just stared at him before swallowing hard and taking in a breath. "God. Does, does that count as a confession of some sort?"

Coricopat risked a glance at the other cat before looking away again. "Possibly. No matter what I feel on the matter, or think on the matter others will see it as a potential weakness at the very least. I can't risk that."

"Who would know?" Misto asked softly.

He considered for a moment, paling very slightly. "Smith for one."

Misto blinked. "And, I'm assuming that's a bad thing then?"

Cori nodded, thinking back to his conversation with the desk clerk. If he'd been in less of a state at that time he would likely have picked up on the cues then. "I'll give you that Smith's astute, but if he picked up on it I'm sure others will as well, and I can't risk that."

"Then I..." Misto looked down, spreading his paws against the sheet, fingers then pulling the sheets back up, watching that rather than looking at Coricopat. "I..." What could he say to that? Beg, plead, promise to be careful? He wasn't sure what the other really felt one way or another, so promise to be careful how even?

Coricopat's ears flickered and he looked around the room, taking in the bare walls, rather than look at Mistoffelees. "Hm?"

"Hell," Mistoffelees sighed. "So, some people already... know about... this. What if no one else finds out?"

"Then we might be alright. But...I just don't know. I don't think it's a good idea."

"Probably wouldn't be," Misto agreed quietly, still looking down and away.

Cori's grey eyes flickered toward Mistoffelees, "I hear a 'but' there."

He turned his head finally, staring at the other for a moment before sighing. "Of course there's a but in there. Yes, whatever this is, it would be a terrible idea. Weakness aside, there's a good dozen other things that would make this the stupidest thing I've ever considered doing. I..." he paused, glancing away again. "But I don't think I care. But it's not my decision to make."

Cori crossed his arms, looking away again. "I...I don't know. I don't think I can do this." It wasn't that he didn't want to, God no, just...he couldn't.

Letting out a shaky laugh, Misto brought his eyes back over. "A whole conversation later and I'm still not even sure what "this" would be. But I want it. So much." He took another breath, shifting again and wincing. "At, at the very least could you stop insulting my ties?" he asked, trying so hard to say something light-hearted and failing.
