Misto swore at the kitchen, dumping his completely undrunken tea in the sink and setting about washing the cup. Finally, he walked back into the living room. "I'm going to bed," he said. If the other still didn't trust him, fine. He would perhaps be better able to deal with that in the morning.

Misto lingered in the doorway another second and shook his head, turning to go.

Corciopat dropped his book on the couch, seeking something to distract him, he knew any work he tried to do would be done poorly and he couldn't risk that, but Cat... He paused for another moment before speaking "I..." He sighed. "I don't know what to tell you."

Misto paused and turned back around. "Oh?" He walked back into the room, sitting on the chair closest to the door.

Cori sank onto the couch, reaching for the short story collection, his paw tracing the letters on the cover. "I just...Franklin was...and..." Cat, how could he say any of this. "A good friend."

Misto tilted his head, watching the other. "I'm sorry," he said quietly.

"True," Misto said and could feel his stomach clench. "But you can still mourn them. Or talk about them. Or... whatever you like."

"I haven't seen him in almost ten years. There's no reason for this." His gaze was focused on the book again.

Misto's eyes followed Coricopat's. "He meant a lot to you then though?"

Misto lifted his chin and let it drop again in something that could have been a nod. "Ah." He still felt lost in the entire conversation.

"'Ah'?" The lawyer's grey eyes finally came up as he absently opened the book again.

Misto shrugged his shoulders barely. "I guess I'm just sorry that he caused you this much pain."
