Coricopat's ears laced and he looked up at the smaller tom, pain briefly evident in his gaze at that, "I would never do that to you again."

For a long moment Mistoffelees looked shocked and horrified at himself. "I, I'm sorry. I know that. I do. It just, it's late, I'm not thinking straight. I'm sorry."

The lawyer looked away again, shaking his head, "Don't apologize. It's fine. I'm fine."

After a long hesitation which included a glance toward the bookshelf, where his collection of Hawthorne short stories was, Cori finally nodded, "I'll be along in a couple of minutes."
