That earned a laugh, "And do you have any idea how you'll respond if one does?"

"Have a quiet panic and tell them they must be mistaken, surely there are other tiny black toms in the city that they could be mixing me up with."

"Still admits to being in a gambling room," Mistoffelees pointed out. "And I'm sorta supposed to be a clean, upright figure."

"Ah, I suppose that's true. A complete denial may be best at that point."

Mistoffelees offered her a smile, taking a sip from the water in front of him. "Probably. Complete denial, even when untrue, seems the be the mark of polite society."

"I hate to agree with you, but it does appear so." The waiter returned with their meals and then faded back into the background quickly.

Mistoffelees tracked the waiter before tuning back to her. "So, how does it feel to be married to Macavity Hollister anyway?" He didn't quite come out and say he couldn't imagine the other married.

"It's...different. I never thought I would be married to anyone, much less someone like Mac."

I think it's been good for him."

Grids smiled at that, "Thank you. I hope it's good for him, I like to think it is usually."

She glanced down at her plate, her voice lowering, "He's been in an odd set of moods this past week."
