Munkustrap sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Perhaps not. I don't care for it, but perhaps not."

Macavity stared at his younger brother for a moment. "You don't care for it?" he asked, tone of voice indescribable, and it was hard to tell if he was curious or angry, or something else entirely.

Munkus sighed, "I didn't mean that how it sounded, Mac. I don't care for not knowing the reason why I'm likely risking my neck for this case, but that doesn't mean I won't take it."

Staring at him for a moment, Macavity's paw come up to pat down a couple of his pockets, finally pulling out his cigarette case and lighter, attempting to light one before continuing. He tried his damnest to ignore the fact his paw was shaking slightly. "Because I don't think I can stand ta see him die, 'Straps. That's why I'm askin' you."

Munkustrap watched his brother, he finally nodded. "Alright, Mac. I'll take the case."
Coricopat looked between the two of them, not certain he could actually bring himself to say what he needed to.

Macavity looked between the two, noticing Cor doing the same. "And you, Cor?"

Coricopat sighed, "I'm the one assigned to this case, but I can't throw it, Mac..."

For a long moment Macavity just stared at the ADA. "Can't?" he asked, voice still soft and close to being unreadable. His paw shook around the cigarette again.

"Not if I want to keep my job. Public opinion hinges too much on this case, and the DA was pretty succinct about it. I...I'm sorry, Macavity." He glanced at Munkustrap, "I can possibly give the defense some ideas as to our arguments, but I can't do more than that. Any other case I could, but not this one."

For a minute Macavity didn't react, before he nodded quickly, head jerking hard with the motion. Taking another drag of his cigarette, he looked between the two. What more could he say?

Munkustrap looked at Coricopat, "I would appreciate some idea of your arguments and the like."
"Then we'll arrange some way to get those to you. I'll see to it that you're both kept apprised."

"Good," Macavity managed. "If that's all then gentlemen...?" Right, he'd called the meeting, but considering the persistent shake in his paw now that he was still, he would really rather have them both out.

Cori nodded, slipping out quietly.
Munkustrap hesitated, considering asking his brother if there was anything else he could do but finally followed the ADA.
((Exit Coricopat and Munkustrap))

Macavity watched them both go quietly, finishing the cigarette before practically fleeing up the stairs to his penthouse.
