Had Merton taken that cup of tea, he would have thrown it up in the air at the arrival of two new cats. And not one of them was Tommy. Though he did squint his eyes at the one queen. "Now you I remem-Did you just call me murky? Well...we were never properly introduced; felt like I was high at the time."
Those damn aliens. Had to be the aliens.
He snorted. Kitten? He did look at Jennyanydots with a cautious leer. "I'm Merton."
((Sucks, I know.))

the old tom cocked an eyebrow, "and she has a beau who could quite likely tie both you and your friend thomas together in a knot like a pretzle despite being old enough to be your father so please mind your manners!" Gus said with a chuckle. "not that out sweet Jenny would let him mind!"

After Krystalle reentered the imfirmery, she was bombared with a Jellicles emotions and she jumped back, hitting the wall. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, how turned up the emotions?" she gasped, in a slightly altered tone to her voice.

Gus gave Krystalle a sympathetic look, "that would be our fine young tom here I belive," he said with a wry smile. "was your walk refreshing?" he asked with a twinkle in his eye.

Jenny's head snapped with each answer from one to the next before she more or less deflated with the news that Jelly hadn't returned yet. Mumbling to herself she slowly walked over to her bench and sat down there. She turned her head towards Gus.
"I hope you still have some of that tea ready. I think I need a cup..."
Again she looked down, while her face showed the myriad of emotions running through her with all the latest news before she clearly resolved herself, stood up again and the turned to Merton:
"Hello, Merton. I am Jennyanydots. This is my infirmary or it was until yesterday, before every patient or thought-to-be-dead queens started to mess my peace and quiet up."
Her tone clearly showed her dark humor on the last bit.
"Please, be welcome. Though I am sure you were cared for, do you still anything or can I help you in any way?"
When Krystalle re-entered the den, Jenny gave her a quick smile and then a look that said with more than words "Regardless what ...Feathertail ... did, you shouldn't be out of bed yet."

Anna's ear flicked as she listened to Lady Jenny. Hmph sounded as if this 'Feathertail' had truly stepped in it with the pretty healer! she thought ruefully. She wondered in the privacy of her mind, why Jenny was so upset.
Was she jealous? Maybe, but was it because, Feather was a touch healer? Or because Jenny had had to pick up all the pieces when Feather abandoned her mate & child or was it barely possible that Jenny might harbor a few, ahem, 'friendly' feelings for old D?
Speculatively, the older queen watched Jenny, while she made herself comfortable next to old Gus. She glanced at Merton too, he was such a cute little guy, she hoped he'd be ok.
"Lady Jenny, this Merky here was one of the rescued cats who'd been used as a science experiment. Your little trainee, Quickpaws & some white mouse, who said he knew you, helped him." She looked at Krystalle too, "How're ya feeling now baby? An how is that handsome tom, ya was making friends wid?"

the old tom got up and fetched Jenny a cup of the tea. then Gus returned to his spot and leaned against Anna with a sigh as his paws twitched with his palsy. there had been no sign of either her suitor or his Jelly and Gus was begining to worry despite his bright 'The Show Must Go On' facade.

Merton literally jumped as yet another joined the fray. His eyes were wide,"What is this, Grand Central Station?" Just how many cats live here, and where is here, and will somebody please tell me whats going on and where Tommy is?!" The smaller black-ginger tom fretted as though he were some mother-hen over Tommy, but he had never been good in groups.
His eyes traveled between Jenny, Gus, Krystalle and Anna. "Well he's missing! Ohhhhhhhh god...he made it back right? He's alive?"

"a good morin ta ya Miss Jenny!

"Heh, sorry, Jenny. But I needed to get out. My body was starting to go numb and pins and needles all over. Needed to circulate the blood, you know?" she said, keeping her eyes closed and rubbed her temples. Once Merton was out of her head, she took in a deep breath and opened her eyes. But before she could answer Anna, Krystalle's eyes locked onto a black ginger Tom. Fear coursed through her as she felt everything about her stiffen. Darkevil was here? how could he get in without her knowing? How could he get in with all that evil pouring out of him?

the batterd old tom blinked a notched ear cocking, "ah know that ah am na much ta look at miss Krystale but donnya think that tis a wee bit oer tha top?"
then Gus quietly tapped Stubinz to get his attention, "Stubby Jelly and Jenny's Irish beau arn't back ye, or....are they?" he asked in a hushed voice.
Stubinz craned his neck peering around the den, "na, na ya can be easy, they are na here!"

Jenny took the cup from Gus, nodded to him thankfully and looked into the still somewhat steaming brew before her nose before she took a sip. she had spend a nice evening with her human family and still as soon as she had returned into this mess in the junkyard, she felt as tired as she hadn't slept in days.
She raised an eyebrow at Anna's explanation about Merton and nodded. Yes, she knew this mouse. He was a curiosity, almost like a mouse equivalent to what a Jellicle was to a mere housecat. A slight frown stole itself onto her features when Merton more or less exploded in a half panic.
"Calm down, dear. No, this is not Grand Central Station and yes, the Junkyard tribe can seem quiet numerous and overwhelming to an outsider. Welcome, anyway."
jenny laid her head to the side and a crooked smile when Krystalle gave her apologizing explanation. Again an eyebrow rose slightly, before she grinned.
"Good then. It seems you can return to your den pretty soon then, dear."
With interest she watched the play between old Stubinz and and Krystalle and wondered what the princess saw in the old sometimes crazy tom that made her so ... afraid? ... of him...

Merton still had a wild look to him, interspersed with his panting, the gleam in his eyes, and his spastic mane clumped and frayed in a 'mad scientist' way. However, he's eyes did get the look of someone determined. If no one was going to give him a straight answer then he would go out and get that answer for himself.
He mumbled a thanks, to whoever, if any of them, had watched over him and cared for him while he was out of it. "Never mind. I'll go find him myself." He was pretty sure that Anna had mentioned Tommy was alive and in his panic it zoomed over his head. "Tommy's out there."
With that said, he managed to squeeze his way past all of them and let the infirmary. He'd find Tommy, or Tommy would find him; it always happened that way.
[Exit Merton]
