Interlude

Adriaira

The multi-colored calico queen felt more self conscious and more unsettled by the minute. The two new and rather large toms did nothing to ease her mind. Two toms that looked as though they would fit right in with Monty's Brutes...or these Henches these cats seemed intent on talking about. The moment she noticed that no one was even paying her any mind. She tucked part of her braided mane behind her shoulder, and with stealth that she had learned over the years she'd been on the run, she slipped away quietly from the group. Not hearing them notice her disappearance she kept walking and then the moment their voices were drowned out by the distance, Adri took off at a run.

Mungojerrie

Reluctantly, Mungojerrie acknowledged Manfredd with a curt nod. In reply to the henchcat's questionings, "Eh, we're all righ', same ol' same ol'," he replied evasively. From the corner of his eye, he saw Adriaira's retreat as well as Sundancer's nervous looks. He also disliked how conspicuous he and his giant sack of loot had become, what with the crowd that now seemed to have gathered. "What say we getta move on," he murmured, intending the words to reach Rumpus' and Sundancer's ears, but hopefully not Manfredd's.

((Manferedd))
the large tom gave a heavy sigh then munched more of the fish chewing thoughtfuly. or vacantly it was hard to tell, "well -slurp-crunch- don't be a stranger I like you an Miss T, I do! shoot I wouldn't even mind spotting the Hero Of London here a bit of rummage! there are no hard feelings after all,  I don't mind coming up on the short end to the Hero, I mean he's the Hero ya know?
pelty of the other sort that we can win out against," Manfredd said with a shrug.
"oh and say hello to the pretty lady if you catch up with her," he added then Manfredd turned his attantion back to his fish.

SUNDANCER

Dancer had frozen when Manfredd joined them-it was him! she'd seen him at the warehouse. Panic almost caused her to run, but she heard Timothy's calm voice in her head-stating over & over. 'Panic will get you caught everytime. Stay calm, assess the situation, then react from training not fear.'

Darn tom, he wasn't here facing a Hench! the little Siamese mentally wailed, conveniantly forgetting it had been her own idea to sneak off. Managing to look calm, she edged closer to Rumpus. She reached her dainty hand to take his arm & in a low voice, glancing meaningfully at Jerrie, "perhaps that's a good idea?" She looked up at Rumpus with her big blue eyes pleading for help.

((Manfredd))
the large tom slowly cocked his head, "are you all right little Lady?" he asked
Sunndancer, "I aint gonna hurt ya. maybey if you eat something you wont be so jumpy, here take the last of the fish it still has some cheawin on it," he said to her proferering the remains of his scavanged snack.

((did we forget this poor thread? XD))

((ooc I think it's Vipurr's turn with Rumpus))

[Vipurr]

(btw I AM SOOOOOO SORRY I have not replied. Totally forgot he was in this. Someone should have kicked my tail sooner)

The big black male looked down at the Siamese. A beautiful face she had. Then around to the others as Manfredd came in. 
"Manfredd, you should not be seen with us old friend. We would not want Macavity to deem you a traitor. " He cautioned. He looked at the Siamese queen when she spoke again. Her blue eyes struck him somehow. His red eyes softened a bit. 
"I did not mean to startle you Miss.." He then looked from her to the others. 

"Yes, I believe you all leaving here would be wise. " Rumpus advised.

((Manfredd))
the large tom shrugged, "oh that's not too likely, but as you say...." then Manfredd's blocky head went up ears perked.
"whoops gotta go anyhow,  " said with a sigh.  the large tom tossed what was left of his fish to Rumpus.
"don't know what for but that's they way of it aint it? don't be a stranger Jerr! and it was nice to meet you miss!" he said as he moved to the alleys mouth. then he paused, "oh and Rumpus? when we come up against each other when I'm on the clock I expect you to kick my tail hear?"
((Exit Manfredd stage left))

Mungojerrie

The tabby tom heaved a sigh of relief as the hench left. Henches were the last thing he wanted to deal with right now... He looked round at the remaining cats. "Well, Oi'd best be gittin' on to the yahd wif me load... Would yew be needin' escorting anywhere, midear?" Jerrie added, looking at Sundancer. No way he needed to rush off so quickly he forgot to be polite to ladies!

[Vipurr]

Rumpus

The large black male glanced down at the petite queen. He gave her a kind smile. He could only imagine what he thought of her. He was large and black in color, like all the henches. 

"I do believe we need to move out. I will escort you somewhere safe if you all wish..." He looked down at the queen beside him and grinned,
"And no I am not a hench.." He could see the question on her face. "My name is Rumpus" He introduced himself not very formally but it would do for now. They needed to get a move on. 
"Where are you all headed, I will stay with the group until then" He offered. Looking for approval to do so. Mainly he looked at Jerrie, being the only jellicle he was familiar with.

SUNDANCER

Dancer nodded to both handsome toms with a sweet smile. She wanted to be polite--particularly while things were still so dangerous. "All right. going to the yard sounds like a good idea. I've never been there." She batted her flirty eyelashes at Rumpus, "So are you a Yard cat like Mungojerrie?"
She subtly steered them away from the area where Manfred had disappeared. Despite his innocuous behavior, he was a hench & therefore, not to be trusted.
Looking a little nervous still, she glanced back. "Do you mind if we move on quickly? I've had some bad experiences with henches before."
