"But we are," Mistoffelees murmured and swallowed, reaching a paw out hesitantly to rest it on Coricopat's arm. "I'm fine and I will be fine. They needed some place to go, was I supposed to just kick people out onto the street?"

"Coricopat," Mistoffelees said, reaching forward again and this time stepping forward as well. "It'll be fine. I promise."

The mottled tom shook his head, "You can't promise that, Mistoffelees. You can only hope that, it's two vastly different things."
