Vespurr tried to find her courage to speak up. She was usually quiet and let others do the talking. "One of our own was kidnapped and taken there. Now several of our tribe are missing" She said. Her confidence slowly building.

Tabitha relaxed a little. She'd been watching the new tom & where he didn't smell or act aggressive, she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. She couldn't help a small smile at Peanut Butter's behavior, but managed not to laugh out loud or facepaw. They really needed to teach him about being tough. Then again. . She again struggled not to giggle. She didn't want to hurt his feelings after all. She sighed, Maybe his enemies would laugh themselves into submission? Tabitha moved closer to Vespurr's side, & sat, her tail pluming coquettishly. She nodded at the tom, her face serious. "Vespurr's right, there have been several catnappings lately. To be honest we don't know who's doing it or why-although theories abound." She sighed. "Any help would be really appreciated, Ragnvald. We're also somewhat lost. We can see the Warehouse from here, but I'm not sure how to get there from here. Do you know?"

The toms eyes watched darkly and silently as Peanut Butter puffed out his chest. Rage didn't think over the toms actions very long. "If you are joining them by going to Macavity's warehouse, you should work on that. Try peeling your upper lip back into a sneer and baring your teeth next time." The advice was offhand, as though he were talking with someone he knew and trusted.
He didn't bother with petty stuff like being cautious, and not trusting others. Until anyone gave him a reason not to, he always gave cats he ran into the benefit of the doubt, though held no expectations; so he wouldn't feel betrayed if or when someone did prove to be untrustworthy. His attention was brought back to Vespurr's voice. He noted the sincerity in her eyes and nodded making up his own mind.
Though when Tabitha spoke his voice came out in a gruff reply to her question. "Unfortunately." He did know the way to the Warehouse, though it had been some time since his own goals led him anywhere close to Macavity's domain. "I have a twin brother who lives there. He might be able to help, though he doesn't do anything for free. Assuming you three even want or need my help."

Peanut Butter tenitvly did a lip curl then he abandoned it and cocked his head, "how about you?" he asked. "what would you like? in return for helping us I mean. we don't have much with us but I'm sure we can get some things!" he said eyes bright.

Vespurr felt her timidness coming on again. That uncontrollable fear she had suppressed. This was a stranger...and he seemed kind of scary. She tried to breath. Tried to slow her heart rate. This was ridiculous. She needed to calm down. Her eyes completely avoided contact with him. She looked nervously to Tabitha.

Tabitha noticed Vespurr stiffening up a little, & quietly took her paw, squeezing it a little in reassurance. The tom may have been a little rough, but he seemed decent enough.
"Thank you for your offer," the little black Burmese said, smiling a little flirtatiously at him. "We'd love your help if you're not too busy. Could you ask your brother to maybe help us too?" She cocked her head her green eyes brilliant as she peeped up at him through her lashes. wow, he was tall. Ok so everyone was tall compared to her, but still. .
"What would he want in return for his help? And is there anything we can do for you as well?" she asked. Her voice & posture were a curious mixture of the coquette & the innocent. Tabitha blushed a bit when she realized how flirty she sounded & grinned a little with challenge, wondering how the strange male would respond.

Ragnvald both noticed the similar questions Peanut Butter and Tabitha had asked him. But other then that? All he saw was a polite queen in Tabitha, a cautious tom in Peanut Butter, and Vespurr as a timid queen. No red flags really jumped at him. Still, he wasn't sure how to word it. So he went for the simple approach.
"There is nothing you can offer me, I am on my own...spiritual journey. It has led me to inquire a tribe of Jellicles, but that can always wait till after. If you could give me directions to their tribe, after I help you three, then we'll call it even." Ragnvald did jut out his bottom lip a little.
He was in deep thought over something Tabitha had mentioned. "The thing about my twin, is he is unpredictable. I am uncertain what he will want. If it benefits him somehow, he has no problem defying Macavity or any Hench above him in rank. It is unfortunate, but that is his way...his path."

Peanut Buters eyes grew big and his ears perked, "THATS where we just came from!" he exclaimed happily "we can take you there! but there's the matter of a binch of queens that have gone missing...." he continued then he pointed at the warehouse and dropped his voice to almost a whisper, "and we think that theyre in on it!"

Vespurr held onto Tabitha's paw tightly. Why now? Why was this suddenly so scary. She felt a heavy pant coming on but tried to quietly slow it. She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself. Taking deep breaths. She hoped no one would notice. She banked on her talent of going unnoticed. After a few moments she opened her eyes. Something inside her begged her not to go back to the warehouse. This was becoming to real. She started to wonder where Vipurr was. She released Tabitha's paw, but remained quiet.

Tabitha could feel Vespurr getting tenser with every mention of the Warehouse. She couldn't blame the little queen. It wasn't a pleasant place by any means-well from what she'd heard anyway. Casually, she bumped up against her friend for comfort-giving Vespurr her silent support. The little queen thought hard. If Vespurr didn't want to go to the Warehouse, Tabitha wasn't going to make her. "Maybe we need to talk to someone before we go to the Warehouse? it makes more sense to plan things doesn't it? From what little I've heard it's a bad place to go in without one. Ragnvald? Do you think your brother would be willing to meet us here? Or maybe in town? I thought I overheard someone talking about a tavern or something-we could all probably use some refreshments anyway. Vespurr, hon, do you know where your sister is likely to be? Maybe she'd be willing to help us plan." ((LOL of course then Vipurr may not be happy about her tryst being interrupted either.))

Ragnvald did notice Vespurr being oddly quiet, but didn't know why or think much of it. He himself was of a quiet nature, so was never offended by shyness. "Meeting in a bar would be better. It's neutral and less suspicious then meeting on a rooftop far enough away but still close to Hench Territory." He cocked his head slowly as he mulled over what Peanut Butter had said. After a pause, longer then what was necessary, Rage gave him a serious look. "Then you all are Jellicles.Do I assume correctly?"

Peanut Butter blinked and cocked his head, "welll I had just been told that I could stay, does that count?" he asked as his tail began to flip. thn he looked at the queens quizzicly.

Ragnvald saw a lot of hesitancy between mainly the queens and he sat back down. His tail curling around his ankle he stared out from the rooftop overlooking the city. "If you have doubts, then you should turn back now. There's no shame in it." There really wasn't. He, fortunately never had to worry much about Macavity but he had heard of the toms reputation from Deception and from random cats in the streets.

Peanut Butter went back to the roof's edge and looked again at the warehouse. he blinked and cocked his head in that odd way of his and scratched an ear. "uhh guys do they normally have cats hanging around in the shadows over there?" he asked in a puzzled tone.

Vespurr looked at the new tom. She was about to protest but her attention was drawn to PB when he pointed out some other cats in the shadows. She quickly grabbed him and held him tightly to her. "Tabitha" she said softly and jutted her chin in the direction of the shadows.
