Jellylorum
Jelly turned around & looked thoughtfully at Cori, "Did it seem deliberate or could it have been a natural phenomenon of some kind? From what we know of Mac's people, he doesn't have a mystic of that magnitude." The petite queen looked worried. Being on duty in the Den, she usually saw & heard first hand what was going on in the outer world-especially from those brought in who'd been injured by the Paw or their minions.
"It goes without saying that if he has a mystic strong enough to affect Tantomile, then we could be in serious trouble." Jelly looked into Tugger's eyes for a moment, then back to Cori. "Do you know if Deuteronomy decided whether he was going to send a spy to the warehouse or not?"

((Coricopat))
still Cori had to hide a smile,the warm feelings radiatiing from the butter yelow calico queen when she was near Tugger had the feel of a long held dreram. if onlty Tugger could see what Cori could the leapord tom would be courting Jelly in earnest! actualy the two of them could be very good for one another. then the warmth dimmed as she turned to more serious subjects. "I am afraid that it will take more timeto determin that" he said quietl then he cocked an ear "on that I can not say as I was not made aware of any such plan."

TUGGER
Tugger simply nodded at coricopat's reaction. "Well, let us know when you have further news about that matter. And also let me know when Tanto wants to see uw again." He said. 'And pleas tell be on forehand what your planning with me' he added with his mind. "Well... If there's nothing more i can do here... I'll go look for my brother and see how many flowers he has already plucked for tantomile yet." He said as ge began to turn around.

Jellylorum
Jelly blushed a bit. She felt badly for having twisted Tugger's ear. She admitted it may have been a bit of an overreaction. She went to the small bucket of cold spring water & dampened a cloth. The plain butter calico stopped him for a moment, before he could leave.
"Here, put this on your ear for a few moments, & it should stop throbbing."
Jelly hung her head a little. "I am sorry I lost my temper. I am a bit protective of Tantomile I admit. If you find out anything or if there's anything I can do to help, let me know all right?"
She went back to her work, letting the handsome tom leave in peace, trying not to watch him.
Deep in her heart, she couldn't help but wish that she could one of the more flirtatious types of queens he'd actually like.
Then, Jelly scolded herself a little for day-dreaming. There was no reason to mope, after all there was no reason for him to stay, now was there. Blushing even more, she really hoped Coricopat hadn't heard her thoughts, he'd think either she was nuts, or worse, he might want to meddle.

the dark calico tom inclined his head to Tugger, "of coarse I will, and don't worry it should not be too painful." he said to the tom.
then he sent mentaly to Jellylorum, 'I do try not to easvse drop if it can be helped, of coarse it is not MY fault that you are mentaly very well endowed! and I happen apreciate your feelings for the reprobate!
I happen to like the way they...well FEEL! warm and soft like a sunbeam.
and IF it is truly your wish then I will not meddle.
on a more sombre note I did not wish to say this inthe hearing of our volitle friend however Tantomile DID seem to think that there was a mind at the root of the mystical dificulities. and while urgent, it is NOT someting to run off half cocked about!'
Coricopat turned back to Jellylorum with a slight, friendly, smile.

TUGGER
Tugger felt a soft paw stopping him. He turned around and saw jelly handing him a wet cloth. "Don't worry Jelly, it doesn't hurt that much anymore. Bescides, I got so much in teouble when I was younger, I'm kinda used to it, but I thank you Jelly." He said as he leaned over once more give a small kiss on her other cheeck. "And don't worry Jelly, I know you'll come up with a way to Help me in anyway." He said with a slight purr. And looking unto her eyes before giving a small wink. He leaned back up and gave a small two-finger salute to coricopat. "Seeya later Cori." He finally said and turned around to go the way his brother went.

Jellylorum
Jelly stood quietly when Tugger kissed her again. She watched him leave a little sadly. The plain queen sighed, she knew he was never going to see her as more than a convenient part of the landscape. Someone to tend the hurts, & handle life's messes. Nothing more.
The thing was, she could never behave in the attractively brash manner of Jenny or match Bomba's flirtatious style, & she knew it. Still, a queen could dream.
Briskly, she shook off the doldrums & went back to her work. "Can you sense Tanto, Cori? If you can find her, why don't you get her to drink some of this tonic." Jelly went to a cupboard & pulled out a small bottle of a murky green liquid. "Tell her to never mind the taste, but to take a spoonful of it every hour or so. It will help her build up her strength again."

sighed as Jelly's sadness washed over him leaving everything with a slight sepia patiena. "I will atempt to do so..." the dark calico tom's vocie drifted a little as he concentrated, " ahhhh, I am sorry Jelly but Tanto is actively Blocking at the moment. I will however take the elixer and see that she takes it!
now a moment for ligther things, the dance peactice that you have been doing with Bomba and Demeter shows in the way you move, in the way that you carry yourself, and I think it suits you!" he continued as he stepped up to asist Jelly.

JELLYLORUM
Jelly's ear twitched & she smiled. "Thank you Cori. I greatly appreciate my friendship with the other ladies. I find, I quite enjoy the dancing. Have you been able to convince Tantomile to dance at the next celebration? I think it would be very good for her to socialize in a larger group-that way she doesn't have to feel quite so self-conscious."
Jelly did worry about the shy little queen. She had a sneaking suspicion that some of Tanto's problems with her magic stemmed from her lack of confidence.
She turned on Cori with a smile. "Munk may be a good choice for her as he can be very sweet, but you may wish to talk to him about some proper courting techniques. I think she would respond well to that. Now, is there anything else I can help you with?" |

the dark calico male gave a small smile, 'ah Jelly if you only knew,' Cori thought to himself.
"so far she will only consider those in which she and I match our moves.
perhapse we could find another tom and work her into a routine with you and the other Ladies?" he said softly. then he shook his head, "and I am certinly not the one to offer advice on corting techniquies!" he laughed. just look how I keep bungling with you!
his smile turned shy, "and as for what else you can do, well talking to you is helping me get all those run away feelings back under control!"

It was then a soft knock hit the air as a white furred paw knocked on the frame of the den door. In the doorframe stood a giant of a tuxedo Jellicle. Quaxo stood roughly a head or so taller than Coricopat. And yet he carried himself in a gentle protective manner. He cleared his throat, "I do hope I am not intruding on anything" The stoic tom kep his manners well. "But I find myself in need of a certain herb that I am used to meditating with." He required incense. Mostly to help meditate. Catmint was perfect when burned for it to smoke. In fact Catmint was possibly the only 'incense' he could really get hold of.
He caught, and felt the tension that was slowly fading. "Might I have come at a bad time ?" He had seen Coricopat's ablities at work only once, and to be honest, even though he never shared the bad dream he had that night not too long ago, he both respected and feared the dark Calico. He tread carefully around both in fact. And considered them very unique and respectable cats. "I can go if you wish it"

the dark calico bowed to the massive serene tuxedo tom "not at all," he said quietly. then looked speculative, "have you heard anything of newly active mystics or magercrafters? Tantomile had a disturbing experieance and we would like to identifie a new threat if there be one." he said in a soft calm voice.
"there were some other...developments but they are not mine to share," he continued with a chuckle.

If the qustion caught the massive tuxedo tom off guard Quaxo's training throughout his life in Japan kept his emotions in check as he replied thoughtfully, "I am not sure. In my homeland however there were Mystics, most of them healers, very rarely did we find or come across a outright mage like yourself and your sister, Master Coricopat." Quaxo had a strong Japanese accent to his tone and voice, yet he carried himelf with respect and admiration for others, in this case he admired Coricopat and his sister quite highly, and viewed his cousin as a sometimes blast happy maniac, but he promised Misto he'd never tell anyone that secret.
"You are aware that I have been in this city and country no more than a week as it is. I know very little of this area. But that does not mean that I know nothing. However, If you like, I can seek out some that I know we can trust to find out such information, if they are around." He was speaking about a rumored group. A group considered a long ago legend. But he knew it was a false hope to little hope to even believe such a group exsisted. As far as Quaxo knew, they were but rumor and nothing more.

JELLYLORUM
Jelly turned around at the sound of Quaxo's cultured voice. "Don't worry my dear, you haven't come at a bad time at all."
She was feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason, Cori had been looking at her in a way she couldn't interpret. Jelly assumed it was the peace of the gardens that drew Cori here, they had been designed for peaceful meditation & aromatherapy techniques she had brought back with her from her travels, but the way he was acting made her question that.
Grateful for the distraction, the little calico went to the locked cabinet for the herb he requested. She kept a good supply as it eased pain for some of the older cats as well, but she kept it locked so that the younger members didn't abuse it. Some of the things they thought funny. .well, the less said on that score the better.
Deftly she measured out what he needed & tucked it into a small pouch for him. "There you go Quaxo. Now, from what Cori was saying there seemed to be someone or something that drained Tantomile's power while she was casting. She was able to recover, but at great cost in energy. Have you ever heard of anything like that?"

With a serene bow he accepted the parcel. Catmint when burned properly, in this case allowed to smoke thinly in a room or similar. had very good meditative effects. It was something that Quaxo was used to. gently placing the puch on his ultility belt where he normally had his pair of unique weapons that were currently kept in his room in his cousins den, he spoke thoughtfully, "That I cannot say as I never had the fortune to be in the presense of such a being. Outside of Master Coricopat and Miss Tantomile, and also my cousin. I do not have very much knowledge, where my human friend here he could explain. I have heard of such a being. But I never witnessed or met one." He was well cultured and very mature indeed. He held himself with a sense of honor and respect. And also that of a protective individual.
"Of course the chances of such a being truly exsisting are quite silm. But that does not mean that it is not possible." Quaxo said after a moment of heavy thought. If someone was powerful or even skilled enough to strip Tantomile tempolarily of her ablities, that meant trouble on the horizon.

the dark calico tom nodded. "the thought was worth pursueing.
has your cousin introduced you to the rest of the tribe yet? I am quite sure that Bombalurina in particular would like to make your aquantince!" Cori said in a soft calm voice.
then he turned to Jellylorum with a small smile, "well now as we are here is there anything that two toms could do for you? lifting perhaps? turning your grindstone?"

JELLYLORUM
Jelly smiled at the males. "Well, I don't have any grindstone, but if you wish to be useful, there is a large stranglewood weed in the garden that needs to be uprooted, before it damages my oak tree. Tantomile had mentioned the weed had some magical properties if harvested correctly, but I have no idea how to do that."
She looked curiously at Cori. "She also said something about the medicinal mushrooms growing there, but I'm afraid I have no mystical knowledge at all, so hopefully you know what she meant." Jelly was curious about magic & mysticism from time to time, but not enough to actually investigate it. She felt she had quite enough to do caring for Gus & the other aging members of the tribe-not to mention being on call at night for emergencies. She considered herself a very practical queen & felt that sort of thing was best left to the experts anyway.
The little queen pointed, "You'll find the tools over there if you'd like."

the dark calico tom smiled and bowed, "certinly! would you like to attened? I would be quite happy to show you the harvesting techniques. and you as well of course, Quaxo!" he said.
then he stepped over and gathered up some of the tools, leaving others for Quaxo if he chose to help. Coricopat waited paitently at the gardens entrance.

Stranglewood, that did not sound like something that he thought could grow that far West! "Odd" Was at first all Quaxo said concerning the mentioning of the Stranglewood growing in the garden outside.
Seeing the looks thrown his way he merely said "Back home my sister and I used Stranglewood as a means of training. Our human friend knew how ot fashion wooden swords for his stdents from it. it was very hardy and never broke, but it could bend if struck hard enough. It grew natuirally on his property and he made swords as gifts for others too from it. One thing he expressed as most important was never to attempt to burn it as the fumes from it that it relases when cut for other uses are very deadly if inhaled and left untreated."
He nodded to Coricopat then, "If it is indeed Stranglewood growing that you want removed, and safely in doing so, I shall help." Quaxo looked at the tools and then selected a unique shovel/hoe looking thing and then stood back to let Coricopat lead the way. He knew he must have looked quite comical.
Being from Samurai country to the Far East, Quaxo himself was a very honorable feline. He stood tall and imposing, and the pair of dark blueish black swords at his hip, which he said when asked not too long ago, were to defend honor when required. Made him look like one heck of a warrior ready to defend his friends. And yet, add in the garden tool in one paw, and he looked like a Samurai version of that Farmers Gothic picture, all he needed was Jelly to look pretty in a Kamino and a cameracat and they'd be all set.
