Misto winced and shook his head. "No, I was informed of that on the anniversary of their death this year."

Tugger drew a sharp intake of breath at that, forgetting his pride enough to put a hand on the other cat's arm in a gesture of comfort. "I... Jeez Misto, I'm real sorry t'hear that." he met Mistoffelees' eyes as he spoke, expression genuine and unguarded.

Misto shrugged, looking down at the table and his arm instead. "It was just a week or so ago... a few days after I was out of the hospital too..."

Tugger squeezed the other's arm slightly before releasing it, feeling awkward. "I'm sorry." he said again, and this time he could have been apologising a much for his own absense from the other's life as he was expressing his condolances.

Misto shrugged. "I... I've been dealing, and life continues. But, thanks, I suppose."

Tugger shrugged himself, feeling a little like he was trying to shake his guilt. "Guess askin' if there's anythin' I can do is mebbe a little late."

Misto offered him a faint smile. "A little, yeah, and it's not like you could have done much anyway. I..." he shrugged again. He'd had cats to talk to, it'd just hurt that one of them hadn't been Tugger.

"I jus'.." he shook his head, "I'm sorry all the same." he knew repeating it didn't redeem him, but it helped on some level.

Misto bit his bottom lip and nodded, rising again to rattle around the cupboard, coming back with some biscuits--they probably didn't need them, but he'd needed the moment to move away before continuing any conversation. "So, you've been busy then?" he asked, just trying to change the subject, probably not at all gracefully.

Tugger had been staring at his, now cold, coffee again. It took him a moment or two to respond. "I guess so, yeah."

Glancing at his own cold coffee, Misto sighed. "Would you actually like me to heat that back up?" Considering his hours last night, he really needed the caffeine.

"Hmm?" Tugger frowned at Mistoffelees for a second, and then back at the coffee, "Oh, no. Don't trouble y'self." At this point he'd probably only let it go cold again, there was no intention of really drinking it now.

Misto shrugged, going to reheat his own instead. He wasn't entirely sure what to talk about, having said all he was willing to say about what was going on with him.

Tugger was just rather conscious of not putting his foot in his mouth again. Worried about anything further said being taken wrongly and his own life issues rather pale in comparision.
"Things are gettin' better f'you?" he asked finally.

Misto turned from where he was at the stove. "Yeah, things are getting better. I mean, more of I'm breathing through it and it's getting there. Some things have worked out, and others I just have to let go."
