The black slender tom stood tall as her watched with rapt attention as Zwitter wandered down the way and around the corner. He heard the faint sounds of a distant conversation, but had not heard what was said. However, the pat and Haversham's wistful tone, caught him back to the grey tom beside him. His crimson eyes searched Sham's face, before settling down by leaning against the wall of the building. He made a 'hmm' noise during the story of Morrigan, nodding along both in knowing and from seeing the affect the name still brought to Haversham.
"I have been all over these streets. And know of many cats, either personally or by reputation. This Morrigan sounds like a gold beauty I've heard of near the west end a few years ago. Killed some bloke who snuck up on her. If it's the same one, then I know of her reputation. And from your colorful and nostalgic description, you're Morrigan sounds like she's the one I'm thinking of."
Ironically, Rumpus had been after the queen for quite some time, trying to recruit her into the fold. She was everything he knew Macavity was looking for in members for his tribe. But the trail had gone cold a while ago and Rumpus had gotten the feeling she was no longer around, or she wanted to keep a low profile. He did slap Haversham on his back. "So you and her had something special then, mated with her and lived through it. Grats Sham! She ever have any of your children?" Rumpus chatted amicably, still wondering what was going on with Zwitter, but not wasting the opportunity to catch up with an old acquaintance.

the old gray tom chuckled "not that she told me about, though I have wondered from time to time! she made it quite clear when we were out of there that she was NOT interested in a Mate I was only convenient!though twas still an honor to be of service in her time of need!" he said then Haversham shook his head ruefully. "could not do that again, and not on account of of my spare tire neither!" he said patting his ample middle, "oh no, some well meaning Humans snatched me up and away to one of their Vets and snip snip! let that be a lesson my boy be very careful of the alleys that you nap in!"

He listened intently and a thought struck him. "If she had, would you ever want to know or are you fine living the life you have now?" Rumpus had had his fair share of liaisons on the streets since he left the yard. And it got him thinking of any kittens he might have out there, if any at all. "I'd like to think I would like to know if I had sired any kittens out there, but honestly. I'm not sure how I'd react until it happened." Not to mention, he had other reasons. He still hadn't told anyone on the streets or the jellicles that he was a Hench. Honestly, he had no idea how it had and still remained a secret. But he wasn't going to jeopardize that getting out. Rumpus eyes went a little wider and he shook his head. "Why do the human's think they know everything?"

the pudgy old gray tom stretched, "oh I'd have liked to have known, but I respect any queens decision to keep the raising to themselves, particularly when ya think of how barbarically some toms react hmm?" he said then Haversham chuckled. "that is one of the monkey's curse's! they oftetentime don't see what's right under their nose....but there are times when they've got a point, when there are more folk than food, that's BAD. or when there are so many that any sickness spreads like fire. and those are the things that their ryin ta prevent." slowly he shook his head, "well lad it's been a pleasure but the days sun will have by now heated the slate just right! tell our big Lady Friend the Cabbie's Cat's goodbye's!" and with that he downed what was left in the cup with a pleasant shudder, sealed the thermos, hefted it up and ambled off toward the junkyard. ((EXIT Haversham stage left))

((Petserpit, do you want me to post Rumpus again, and then wait for Zwitter and Serpit? Or do you want to post them up after Haversham's exit?))

((It's no problem. Don't worry about it. ) Rumpus nodded his head, but the conversation with Haversham seemed to get cut off rather abruptly. He spoke with a reserved tone. "Of course Haversham." He waved at the tom as he sauntered away and then turned down a corner headed in the direction of the junkyard. Rumpus wasn't sure if it had been his smell...though after a whiff of his armpits, Rumpus shook his mane and concluded it wasn't his smell that had Haversham leaving him so soon. So either Haversham really did just need to do something, or talk of Morrigan had offended or upset him. He crossed his arms, now standing alone in the alleyway. His tail twitched slightly, and his head cocked to the side. The side where Zwitter had wandered down and disappeared to. The sleek black tom called out, after he had stopped hearing commotion in that direction. "Hey Zwitt! You okay over there?"

[Admin Note: Exiting Zwitter and Serpit out for Petserpit.]
Rumpus walked over to where he had seen Zwitter wander off to. "Zwittie?" He practically cooed. However, as soon as Rumpus turned the corner, expecting to see Zwitter talking with someone or to herself, all that greeted him was another stretch of road. He 'hmmed' to himself, briefly wondering where the queen could have run off to. The tall black tom scrubbed a paw through his disheveled wild mane and then stalked off in the opposite direction. If Zwitter was gone, then he would respect her privacy and allow her the space she obviously wanted to herself, or away from him.
[Exit Rumpus]
[[DEAD]]
