With barely an hour left in the day, Macavity slipped up into the penthouse. He'd been out late that night, but not as late as he once came home.
Closing the door gently behind him he dropped the straight razor onto the desk, considering it a long moment before making sure it was cleaned and stuck in the bottom drawer of the heavy wood desk. Running his paws through his hair he let out a long breath.

Griddlebone rose from where she'd been lying awake, listening for him to come in. She picked up her dressing gown, wrapping it around herself as she slipped quietly out of the bedroom. Making sure to make enough noise to alert him to her presence she moved over to her husband, "Mac?"

He tilted his head, not quite looking over at her yet. "Grids," he rumbled. "Did I wake you up?"

She shook her head, reaching out to put a paw on his shoulder, "I wasn't asleep yet, no."

For a moment he considered shrugging the paw off before raising one of his and placing it over her's, using his other arm to pull her into a half embrace. "Whyever not?" he murmured. "You need your rest..."

Grids kissed his temple gently, "I wasn't sure when you would be back."

Mac leaned over to kiss the top of her hair. "Sorry. Business kept me out."

She nodded, brushing a paw over his headfur, "I figured as much, but ti didn't stop me worrying."

"I'm sure it didn't," he said, voice rumbling. "But I'm here not, and not harmed at all. Are you reassured now?"

She nodded very slightly, "I am. Are you coming to bed any time soon?"

"Yeah," he said, pulling at his tie with the paw not wrapped around her. "Now, even, if you would like."

Grids nodded, "If you're sure you'll be able to have a restful night, coming to bed now."

"I'm sure I'll manage," he said, offering her a smile and intending not to sleep at all that night. But he was used to things like that, and he'd long since learned how to hold himself still all night long.

She paused at that, "Mac, what happened tonight?"

"Just business," he replied. "It needed to be taken care of before things got out of hand is all."
