At Vespurr & Peanutbutter's warning, a bit of a change came over Tabitha. She pushed the light flirtiness away & went to look at the potential threat. She was all business now. She wasn't about to let her friends get hurt! There were a number of dark colored cats agitatedly running about below. She didn't think the dark cats spotted the small group above their heads, but there was no way to get off the building without being noticed at this point & they couldn't count on it lasting. The cats seemed to be looking for something. . or someone. . A chill threaded up her spine. This either didn't bode well for their friends who'd gone looking for the missing matron or it meant they'd managed to escape. Tabitha just wished she knew for sure which one it was. Slipping back over to PB & Vespurr, & taking Vespurr's hand reassuringly, she beckoned to Ragnvald asking him silently to come closer. "All right we've got a problem folks. Vess, honey, can you or Ragnvald tell if those are henches? If they are, something's put a flea in their fur, & I'm betting it has something to do with our missing friends." She looked at Ragnvald, "As the most experienced here, do you have any suggestions as to how we can get more information-preferably without getting all of us noticed?" Silently she added, or killed or captured? Tabitha didn't want to point out the obvious. Vespurr had escaped from the warehouse, & it was a sure bet, she'd be a prize for them to bring back. She also knew the black watch wanted her too-prized simply for the sable color of her coat. She'd had a few. . unpleaant run-ins with them before finding the Jellicle yard. For a brief moment she wished Vespurr's sister or one of the protectors were here, but brushed the thought away as useless. The little Burmese took a confident stance, hoping to reassure the others. Per her mentor Sir Percy, Attitude was everything, after all. "All right, I'm open to suggestions. Any ideas? For now, Vespurr love, I want you & PB to stay away from the edge so you'll be less noticeable, OK?"

Vespurr hissed involuntarily as the group ran by. Her nose crinkled and she started to shake. She wished she was back in the junkyard hiding. "I don't....have..to look..." She sat down and drew her knees to her chest and buried her face in her arms. "I...I can ...smell them...they are HIS...henches" She tried to stop her trembling but her reaction was almost automatic. A muscle and emotional reaction. She was truly in fear. Where was her sister now?

gently the young tom took Vespur into his arms and held her. "we're here huh?" he said quirtly. "well I think we should get comfortable," he said. thrn he noticed just how soft and warm her fur was and how nicely she smelled... his eyes went wide and he shook his head uhhh wait a sec that did'nt come out right I meant ohh heck..." he sputtered when he realized just how the lovely young queen could have taken what he had just said.

Ragnvald's ears slanted backwards, but any other discomfort that he felt he held close to his heart, and didn't let it show. The white and gold queen was right. He could smell the hench stench on them. He didn't have as big of a beef with the henches as the other three he was with. His interactions with them were short and far between.
He didn't like the group; it wasn't like he was trying to justify their actions to himself. But he felt he was the most level headed among them, because he hadn't been severely wronged by them. Not to the extent of the others. If someone didn't take charge, they were all liable to get themselves caught and taken back to the warehouse.
He could understand them wanting to find their friends, but going off with no real backup or plan was stupid. Rage couldn't judge to that extent. He hadn't been there long enough, but it was what he suspected from what little he had seen.
"I know I'm new and you've got no reason to trust me. But let me go. I can provide a distraction and lure them away from here, so that you guys will be able to get away. And I would suggest you guys find someplace safe to flee to." His voice was soft, almost a whisper, so as to no attract attention of the henches scouring the streets down below.

Tabitha eyed Ragnvald with a rather militant look in her eye. Carefully she considered his words. He had a point, but she wasn't about to let him go off on his own. Her lightning fast mind devised a plan, it may not have been the best plan, but it was something. She whispered to the others too, "All right, I think Ragnvald's plan will work with one minor change. I'm going down with him & play 'catch me stupid' too. Vespurr, Peanut Butter, I want you to get each other back to the yard as fast as you can while we distract them. I'll meet you there later." She stood challengingly in front of Ragnvald & spoke softly again. "I have played tag with that type of idiot for a long time. I know exactly how to stay out of their grasp. I can also climb like a squirrel & fit into places they can't. It would be safer for us to do this in pairs & the henches don't know me." Then her face lit in a small smile, "You might as well agree, I am incredibly stubborn when I'm right." she added sweetly.

Peanut Butter nodded, "we can do that, can't we Vesspur?" he aid glanceing at the shivering pretty queen. "I'll do my best to get you back to your mate Vess," the the yellow and brown siamese said his long brown tail curling and ubcurling.

He gave Tabitha a skeptical stare. "I suggested myself, because I have a way out if I get caught." He spoke. With no real emotion tied to it, just stating a fact. "But it is your life, your choice." Ragnvald was never much for social accuracy or perfecting social skills both of his brothers possessed, but he knew enough not to argue with a stubborn queen. Besides, it was her own neck she was risking, and he wasn't responsible for that or for her. He stayed silent with his own thoughts for a while, but his eyes and ears were trained on the henches below. Making sure they didn't make a new move indicating they knew of the small group on the roof.

Vespurr almost giggled at Peanut Butter. Well he at least could make her laugh in the darkest situation. She sighed. "I don't like the thought of anyone playing with the enforcers, but I am afraid without Vipurr here it is the only solution. " She chewed her lower lip for a moment and looked at PB. "Just stay by my side Peanut, we will watch out for eachother." She said and grasped his paw. She looked up from her seated position at Tabitha and Rage.

the oddly coloured siamese gave Tabitha a confident smile, and then Peanut Butter said "we're ready to go on your mark Chief!"

Tabitha gave PB a confused look. 'Chief?' She sighed softly, just what she needed. She gave Vespurr a reassuringly confident look. "It will be all right hon. It's safer if we split into groups of two. Ragnvald & I will go down first, you two watch & when you see your chance run for it, OK? We will meet you back at the yard." Tabitha had a lot of faith in her own abilities, & she wouldn't admit it to many, but she was a bit of an adrenaline junky. That didn't mean she'd lose sight of the important part of the mission, however. They needed to get Vespurr & PB to safety! She felt so responsible for them being here & in danger-they should have just followed Munkustrap she supposed rebelliously, but he was so. . so bossy! The lithe black Burmese turned to Ragnvald, very aware of just how vulnerable she would be to a double cross. She looked at him quietly, unafraid. She didn't respond to his seeming attempt to dissuade her. Instead she moved up beside him, gesturing politely with an overly sweet smile, "Gentlemen first."

((Still a bit sick, but really I have no muse. So, sorry this post kind of sucks.))
Ragnvald stared out at the horizon as the others conversed quietly. He was patiently waiting, as he thought about which streets to go down and where the best place to lose them would be. His stare turned more into a brood, as his thoughts became deeper. However, the sound of Tabitha's voice and her face in his line of sight brought his thoughts back on having to deal with her as well as the henches that would soon be chasing them. Though he had to constantly tell himself that it was her choice to go with him and that he was no responsible for her safety. "Hope you're fast." Came his slightly broody remark, complete with a stern smoldering look, before he started down the side of the building.

Vespurr scurried to the edge to watch Tabitha and the new tom. Her breath seemed stolen from her as she watched them. She chewed her bottom lip nervously. Her hands gripped the edge of the building.

after a quick scouting of the roof the oddly coulerd tom setteled next to Vespur, "they are good arn't they? but I have an exit for us too!" he said to the pretty queen with an ecouraging smile. then he flowed across the roof to another corner and poesd grinning with his head cocked, his paws indacating a...drainpipe.

Tabitha gave Ragnevald an impish smile-knowing it would likely annoy the heck out of him. Really, he was much too serious-although he was seriously adorable when he growled like that. The little Burmese wasn't sure why, but she was enjoying teasing the errant male. Tossing an encouraging smile at PB & Vespurr, she whispered, "See you later!" Then she simply stepped off the roof. Having perfected her acrobatics under Sir Percy's stern & exacting tutelage, she knew there were few better acrobats or escape artists in the city. She did make a note of keeping an eye on Ragnavald, really, he was a bit big to be very stealthy. . she thought. A lithe plummetting shadow for about 10 seconds, she easily swung her body into a loop & landed on a tiny outcropping of brick. Really, this building was like a kiddie jungle gym with all it's hand & foot holds. Softly, like a velvety black shadow, she flowed the rest of the way down the building directly in front of a very surprised hench. "Umm Hi," she grinned, ducking as the surprised male made a grab for her. "sorry just coming through!" The lovely Burmese made a swift jump & a leap & streaked away towards the henches, trying to create enough of a diversion to let the others get away, using all her acrobatic prowess to avoid being grabbed. She was taking the situation seriously, but she couldn't help the way her eyes sparkled in challenge as she dove through the group of hapless males.

Ragnvald did slip down the side of the building with ease, but he watched with a guarded face and a raised eyebrow as Tabitha scaled down the side ahead of him; stealthy as you please and surprised one of the hench toms. This was never about stealth; they were suppose to make noise, been seen and be a big enough problem to get them to follow them. Though a part of him did admire her style.
Rage, well he was more blunt about his approach. And because he wasn't sure if one acrobatic annoyance, cute though she was, was enough to get the others to chase after her. Despite her hidden challenge that he clearly picked up on. He used his shoulder and pushed his way through two of the henches that were currently too preoccupied with Tabitha, then put his fist through the third one's face just as he turned to see what the commotion was.
"My fist slipped." He spoke blankly, as he used their surprise to slip by them and be next to Tabitha. He had enjoyed punching the unsuspecting tom, though you wouldn't be able to tell. And he nudged Tabitha as the others began to get angry. The classic hench; a hot head.
