Mac swallowed hard, eyes flickering between them again. "Brachen..." the hell was he supposed to say though. Ask him what he thought? Ask permission? He'd been forced to walk away from the other for her in a strange way after all.

"I just had something I needed to tell her." He tried very hard to keep from looking at the knife.

"Which would be?" Mac asked, seeking his eyes out.

Brachen breathed and settled his stance. He didn't see any point in lying now, anyway. Even if it hurt, he had to be frank. "That if she hurt you, I'd kill her."

It took Macavity a very long time to respond that to beyond just blinking at the other. "Oh Brachen," he said softly. He paused for another very long moment. "How are you doin' today anyway?" he asked softly.

Griddlebone looked from one tom to the other, considering slipping into the back room and leaving them to themselves.

Brachen relaxed, glad that Mac wasn't angry. He ran a hand through his hair, his eyes unable to stay focused on any one thing for very long. "I think I'm doing okay today. I came here and did what I told myself I was going to do. I didn't snap...so I think I'm doing okay."

Macavity's tail poofed out at the mention of snapping and he tried very hard not to show how panicked that almost made him. "That's... good..." he managed after a few deep breaths from the diaphragm.

Brachen felt a little twang of pain in his chest, being treated like he was unstable, crazy, by Mac. Being treated gently hurt worse...however, he understood. He couldn't blame Mac for it. "I feel like I'm unraveling but I could still do this. I did what I told myself I was going to do. I still have enough control but I don't think I will much longer, if that makes any sense?"

Hesitating for another moment, Macavity stepped forward and rested a paw on Brachen's shoulder. "Good," he said, voice soft. "Then keep it that way, would you?" It was as much because he didn't want to see others hurt as he didn't want to see Brachen hurt. But the thought of Brachen and Grids in the same room was still terrifying to him, especially considering the knife in the table. He'd seen what Brachen was capable of and... the fact it concerned him so much when put in relations to Griddlebone was not something he felt like thinking through quite yet.

Brachen studied Mac's paw on his shoulder, a little stunned, like he couldn't quite find enough of himself to realize the things going on around him. He tried not to look too surprised. "I will, Mac," he said softly. "I...think I should be going now."

"Alright," Macavity said softly. "But always, come ta me if you need it, alright?"

"I will," Brachen lied, and now he knew that it was a lie. "I know I can count on you for anything." He smiled weakly and turned to leave, he nodded slightly to Griddlebone before walking out the door.
((exit Brachen))

Griddlebone watched him go, murmuring a quiet "take care," before glancing at Macavity.

Macavity waited a moment before turning back to her as well. "Are you alright?" he asked softly.
