She took her things settling the lunch at her side on the bench and the crutch with its' mate leaning against the bench. "Please, don't apologize." She took a deep breath, counting to five to calm herself. "You're absolutely right." Her eyes drifted out of focus as she gazed at her feet. She didn't know why this Tom's rebuke meant so much more to her than her mother's words or even the doctor's orders, but somehow she just- just didn't want to disappoint him.

Underneath his hat, Misto's ears swiveled again. "Maybe, but still," he murmured. "I mean, you are healing well yeah? It's natural to want to test that and I... shouldn't have said anything."

"It's good to see you out of the hospital." She turned her head a little without raising it to look at him.

Misto turned back to her, sitting back on the bench and forcing his shoulders to relax. "Thank you. It's good to see you out and about as well." He paused. "When you feel better, do you still want to go dancing?"

Victoria nodded. "I don't know the modern steps, well, at all. But I am really looking forward to it."

Coricopat exited the courthouse, scanning the area and strolling toward the park. He'd considered staying in his office over lunch, but it was a nice day out and it seemed a shame not to take advantage of one of the first warmer days of the year.
He paused as he approached one of the benches, seeing a familiar white queen and a young black tom who he very much recognized. The ADA hesitated for a long moment before making his way over, tapping the handle of his cane against the brim of his hat. "Good day to you two."

Misto had opened his mouth to respond to Victoria, but Corciopat's approach changed his response. He couldn't help the fact his face lit up a little too much at the sigh of the other, offering him a grin. "Good day," he murmured.

Victoria missed seeing Misto's face as her attention was drawn and held by Coricopat's approach. "Good day, Mr. Zimmerman, Sir." Her frame was anxiously still and she had to remind herself to blink because staring was rude.

Cori looked from one to the other, "And how are the two of you on this fine day?"

"Quite well," Misto replied, shuffling the deck of cards and grinning at the other again. "Enjoying the fact the weather's turned nice again. And you?"

"well" Victoria managed to eke out although it was probably covered by Misto's response. She hoped that Mr Zimmerman might choose to just ignore her. Heaven knows it would be better for her nerves.

Coricopat glanced toward the white queen, his ears flickering slightly at the sight of the crutches, but answered Mistoffelees, "I'm doing well enough. It is a good day to be out between meetings and hearings."

Misto didn't mean to be ignoring Victoria at all, but there was something about Coricopat appearing that caught all his attention. "Yeah. The weather's too nice to be inside all day." His eyes strayed down to Coricopat's cane, and he almost pointed it out to Victoria but managed not to. "Have you had lunch yet?"

Victoria sat quietly, her eyes flickered to Mistoffelees when he spoke but the majority of her attention was still tied to Coricopat.

"Yes." Coricopat lied smoothly.
