Coricopat entered the house quietly, locking the door behind him. He hung his hat up, leaving his paw to rest on it for a moment before shrugging out of his coat and setting his briefcase down. He sure as hell needed to do some work on the case, but he couldn't bring himself to do it tonight. He hadn't even been to the Demoniaque for more than an hour tonight, he'd been trapped at the courthouse until far later than usual.
The mottled tom looked toward the living room where the strains of jazz music could be heard, trying to determine if he really wanted to go in there. He needed to, but he really didn't want to. He finally slipped into the front room, heading for the couch. He paused, his ears flickering and his tail swaying slightly behind him at the sight of Mistoffelees.

The smaller black cat was curled up on the couch again, book in paw. It would look innocent enough except for the fact that his ears had never managed to return to an upright position since talking to Tugger, and the fact that his tail was evidently curled around one leg.
Blinking, he glanced up at the other. "Hey," he said softly, surprised. "You're home early."

Coricopat shrugged, moving over and sitting down on the other end of the couch. "There wasn't much to be done at the hotel. Is everything alright?"

"I'm glad you are, just surprised," Misto replied, shifting around to look at Coricopat, legs still drawn up underneath him. Swallowing, he considered how to actually answer the other question. "I'll be alright I suppose just..." he shrugged, trying not to be angry. "Just Tugger is an idiot. But I should hardly be surprised by that, huh?" He paused again, taking a look over the other, before asking softly, "Are you alright?"

The lawyer nodded very slightly, "I am, yes. Is there anything you need to talk about?"

Misto shrugged. "I just... Is it so bad to want a friend to talk to? Only to have them tell you they've been too busy since you were in the hospital... Is it bad to be angry at them when they say they can't make time?" He was more hurt than he wanted to admit about the whole thing.

Coricopat sighed, shaking his head. "I would say it isn't. I'm so sorry you have to go through that, Mistoffelees."

"I..." he glanced down at his paws. "I'll be fine, I suppose. Just... that hurt."

Coricopat nodded, hesitating before sliding over and gently putting an arm around the other cat.

Eyes widening, Misto glanced back up at the mottled tom. "I..." he paused and shook his head, curling up lightly against the other's side. "Thank you. How," he said and swallowed. "How was your day?"

Cori sighed, shrugging slightly, "It could have been worse I suppose..."

"Could have been worse implies it was at least somewhat bad," Misto murmured, titling his head back to look at Coricopat's face. "Do you want to talk about it?"

Cori took a deep breath, "It's not so much today as last night I suppose...I was assigned that case yesterday."

"The... Brachen, right?" Misto asked softly. "Is that... bad then?"

Coricopat nodded, "Yes, the Myre case. And...normally I would say no."
