"Yes," Mistoffelees replied. "Of course I do."

Darrien frowned at Mistoffelees pointedly.

"The three of us were friends," Mistoffelees snapped, annoyed at the look. "What does she have to really do with this?"

"Because I was a weapon and all Jones had to do was aim and pull the trigger," Darrien returned. "And he wanted one less tabby in the world."

"So you left not to kill her?" Mistoffelees asked. "But what does that have to do with leaving for me?"

"If Jones was willing to kill off her, who knows who else he would have wanted me to kill off next?" Darrien asked. "If I had stayed and all of the kicking out of houses happened, are you sure that he wouldn't have asked me to kill you myself?"

"On the other hand, by leaving, you probably made it more likely that he could come after me any time he wanted," Mistoffelees replied. "Since I had no friends among his goons, it might have been nice to have some warning when they started coming after me. Running away is very inefficient protection."

"So I should have gone ahead and killed her? Or be beaten or even worse for disobeying?" Darrien said. "And when the time came that he would have wanted to kill you, what then? I tell you then what happens to me? I keep it to myself, and what happens to you?"

"Or you run off and he takes me out with another goon who doesn't have the same qualms," Mistoffelees shrugged. "As just about happened several times. So if you want to say you got out of the life you didn't want, or you did it for Donna, that's fine. But don't say it was for me," he said, bitterness seeping into the last sentence.

"Fine," he said tartly. "Believe whatever you want about me leaving but I sure as hell didn't come back for anyone else."

Mistoffelees considered him a long moment before taking a deep breath. "Alright. I can believe that. I'm not sure I want to yet, but I can."

Darrien took a deep breath and pinched at the bridge of his nose. "Sorry," He mumbled apologetically.

"For what?" Mistoffelees asked, tone still distant as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"Getting upset, snapping, leaving..." He sighed. "Just.. Everthing. I'm sorry about everything.

"Everything is a tall order," Mistoffelees replied softly, something like sympathy finally entering his eyes.
