Misto squeezed his paw lightly. "Good." He considered letting the paw drop again, but didn't want to.

Blinking, Misto withdrew slightly, more out of Coricopat's space. "What do I want to...? I just want to know what's wrong. I've never seen you act that way."

Coricopat sighed heavily, "I, well, you saw the obituary I'm sure. Franklin...he was a friend. A mentor. A teacher...a.."he paused, he didn't know if he could say this.

Misto watched him quietly, waiting for the other to continue if he felt like it.

Misto could feel his tail curl though the rest of him didn't move. "Oh."

Misto nodded, his mind racing. The other cat must have been quite a bit older to be a professor, and young and naive and… oh crap.

Misto blinked, his paw flexing against the couch where it was resting. "Happens to be best of us," he said past a dry throat.

Cori sighed, "I promised myself I'd never do to another cat what he did to me, but I..." He shook his head. I did. Sort of. Mostly. Kind of.
