Misto blinked and offered her another reassuring smile. "Well, at least that meant that neither of you were looking where you were going. He had to be just as much not paying attention to do something like that. Did he at least give you a ride here?"

She nodded and let her hands uncover her face, though she still held them up before her. "He was rather insistent I get checked out. I didn't think it had been that bad. I should probably thank him again if I get the chance."

"Good," Misto said. "Did you get his name then? It would be useful for stopping by to thank him."

"oh, he works at the courthouse like I do. I'm sure I'll run into him again before long." She moved to get pillows set up in such a way as she could lean against them.

Misto blinked, considering the courthouse, cars, and timing. "What was his name again?" he asked, thinking there might be just a few too many coincidences in his life.

"Mr. Zimmerman. He's the ADA. I hadn't met him before this."

Misto blinked at her, shoulders having tensed slightly. Yes, he had almost put that together but still. His eyes darted toward the books and back to the girl. Coricopat had run into her? Usually the tom was so careful and aware of what was going on around him, and he had backed the car into someone? And then brought them to the hospital. "He does seem to have a habit of random kindness," he murmured finally, not really thinking saying it aloud through.

"You know him then?" Her tone had shifted, he was tense, why? Was it something she had said? Should she leave him alone? Was she bohering him?

Misto nodded, relaxing again slightly. "Ah, yeah," he mumbled. "I've encountered him a few times." Encountered him, lived with him, kissed him a few times, you know, the usual things.

"Oh." She was still nervous from having apparently put the Tom on edge.

He offered her another reassuring smile. "Sorry. I'm just never entirely sure how to react to that particular cat."

Not me then, she thought, relieved by her lack of effect on Misto.
"Is he that confusing?"

"Yes," Misto replied, not even taking a second to think about the answer. "Not all the time, not to everyone, but yes. I think, honestly, he's spent too many years being a lawyer. It's almost impossible to get a straight answer out of him."

She smiled. Thinking of her father and the way as a kit, she'd been talked in circles without ever getting a question answered.
"Lawyers can be like that."

"So I'm gathering," Misto replied. "It's like talking to a maze sometimes."
