"Which is what the dishonorable say," Mistoffelees returned. "Your word is worthless here, you realize that right?"

Slois ran the paw down his face with a sigh. "They are worthless practically anywhere," He mumbled. "The only cat I'm used to listening to me is Fayst." He eyed the shorter tom again. "If I can't persuade you with words, what can I do?"

"Nothing, really. Trust never grows overnight," Mistoffelees said, moving across the floor and making sure things were put away. "You can do nothing to reassure me until one day one or the other of us looks up and realizes things are on solid footing finally. It's nothing you can really force."

Slois simply shrugged his shoulders as he watched other. "Fair enough," He said and tucked his paws into his pockets. "Are you going to let me stay that long, though?"

"Unless you mess up, I'm not kicking anycat out of a job," Mistoffelees returned. "The question then is simply how long you intend to stay."

"Don't know," He answered simply and looked around the empty Palace. It was odd, he was kind of getting used to the place being busy just from one night of working. "Depends on Fayst and how he feels and if... if history catches up or not."

"Well then, don't let the staff rely on you too heavily," Mistoffelees said, turning to go. "I need to lock up."

"No promises," Slois said, some of his light hearted attitude returning. Some. He made his way to the door at the other's prompting, tail swishing behind him. "Good night. I hope you get some sleep tonight."

For a second Mistoffelees looked like he'd been struck. It was a simple enough statement, probably meant to be polite, but it hurt anyway. After all, considering that the other night had started his nightmares back in force and that he no longer had Coricopat to curl around at night, it was entirely unlikely he would manage much sleep. "I'm sure I'll manage," he said, voice cold. "Good night then."

Slois hesitated at the cold air that Mistoffelees' voice had taken. Had he said something wrong? After a brief moment of deliberation, he decided that if he did more words probably wouldn't fix anything. He turned to look over his shoulder and gave the black tom a stiff nod before slipping out of the Palace.
Maybe he would spent another night with Fayst...

Shaking his head, Mistoffelees turned to deal with the paperwork still undone and to finish closing down the establishment for the night.
