The ADA sighed at that, knowing the truth of it, "I...you're right, I just hate not being able to help you."

Covering the leftovers and putting them in the icebox, Coricopat set his dishes in the sink and ran the water, unbuttoning his cufflinks.

Watching him for a moment, Mistoffelees came up behind him, wrapping his arms around Coricopat's waist and resting his cheek against his shoulder blades. "I'm not sure I'll ever get over watching you wash dishes."

Coricopat glanced over his shoulder at the smaller tom, offering him a faint smile, "Well, it's not as though I do it often enough for you to do so."

"Do you have any idea what helping at a soup kitchen would do for the image I've so carefully cultivated?" Coricopat responded, rinsing off the plate he was washing and setting it on the counter top.

"I'm a philanthropist, trying to convert you to my side," Mistoffelees laughed. "And ruin your image in the meantime. Though it sure would confuse cats."

"Ah, but confusion only works so far for leverage," Coricopat reminded. "Though I suppose working the soup kitchen at a given time might allow me to see you more..."

"And then you'd have to escort me home because it's dangerous," Mistoffelees said and paused. "Could you imagine Sonya Vlask's face if he found out? Maybe we'd have to have you do only dinners."
