I Think I Thought I Saw You Try ((53))

Misto turned back to Victoria. "Take care of yourself," he said. "I'll see you around too, yeah? And when you get better, we shall have to go dancing."

[wolfiso]

Victoria shook her head, "I don't mind." She set her crutches up and stood, holding her lunchbag curled over the handle of one crutch. She smiled at Mistoffolees. "I shall have to find suitable shoes first. These are nearly worn through."

[Meadowlark]

Coricopat's ears flickered at the mention of going dancing, not entirely sure he was happy with that idea.

[victoriousscarf]

Grinning at Victoria, Misto caught the ear flicker and frowned ever so slightly. "Well, you should have time to get those between now and then," he replied. "And I know it's hard, but the kinder you are to yourself, the sooner that'll be." He meant to say it to Victoria, but was looking at Coricopat as he said, "Have a good day."

[wolfiso]

"Good day, Mistoffelees." Victoria looked to Coricopat, ready to head back to the courthouse.

[Meadowlark]

Coricopat looked singularly unimpressed with Mistoffelees' comment, but offered Victoria a slight smile as he rose. "Shall we then?"

[victoriousscarf]

Misto watched them, sighing softly, having already said good day to both of them.

[wolfiso]

Victoria nodded to Coricopat and began walking back, crutches syncopating the rhythm of her footsteps.

[Meadowlark]

Coricopat fell into step beside her, slowing his pace to match hers as they left.

[victoriousscarf]

Misto watched them go, leaning back to enjoy the sunshine a bit longer before he had to go anywhere.

((Exit Mistoffelees))

[wolfiso]

Victoria thumped along in silence, keeping her eyes on where she was headed. She and Coricopat politely parted ways once inside.
