Growltiger's ears perked up when he heard a slight sniffing noise to the side of him. Peering down, he spotted the young Pumpkin, and couldn't resist patting her on her head and mussing up her head fur slightly. He gave her a small smile, before his attention was back on the rest of the adults in the room. He nodded at Jenny's words. "I will rendezvous with Munkustrap about picking up Plato's job while he's injured. If Munkustrap will allow this, then I'll drop by and confer with Plato." He waved at Jenny, with a small wink. "I will head there now, Lady Jennyanydots." His attention turned back onto Anna. "And you sweet Anna. I'll see you soon enough." He caressed the side of her cheek. He gave an acknowledging nod in Gus' direction. "I trust being surrounded by all these gorgeous ladies won't distract you, you old coot." Then he turned and left the infirmary, intent on searching for Munkustrap, and eventually Plato.
[Exit Growltiger]

feeling somewhat deflated at Growltiger's cavalier attitude, the kitten mentally berated herself. What did she expect? that he would take one look & claim her as his daughter? she sighed. Not likely. From what she knew, most toms wanted a good time & no responsibility. She remembered how many distanced themselves from her Mamma when they realized she had a kitten. The small princess went back over to Jenny, careful to stay out of the way as she just watched & listened.
Anna gave Jenny a mischievous look. "Now that's a tom. too bad he's a bit full of hiself." she remarked. "Nice behind though." She checked whatever other comment she might have made about the large tom's anatomy as she noticed the kitten again. Dang that little one was quiet! She gave Pumpkin a smile & went to Jenny. "Well is there sumfing I can do? Jist lemme know, otherwise, if ya don't mind I'm gonna take a bit of a nap." The older queen sighed inwardly, trying to quell the disappointment. She knew Growltiger wasn't for the likes of her! Even in her young days, she wasn't all that beautiful & he had an eye for the prettiest females around. Still, a queen could dream. .The older queen wondered if he'd actually help or if he'd just fade into the woodwork like he always seemed to do. g

the frail old tom stirred from his funk and tottered over to Anna, "he does cut the impressive figure doesn't he?" he said softly with a smile. "I remember when I got those parting looks as well. ah me but listen to me ramble, would you like some more tea Anna?"

Jennyanydots watched Growltiger leave and then turned with a raised eyebrow towards Anna and Gus.
"He is still a pirate and scoundrel. I am not saying that he will be a great help in the moment, but you never know when his allegiance will change again. Just like the wind turns with the weather."
Then she winked to Anna.
"But I agree, he knows how to present the views."
Jenny sighed and shook her head to Anna's question.
"No, dear, nothing in the moment. I am sure Quickpaw will be around soon enough to take care of the few chores left over. otherwise we can only wait and see."

The kitten went to the old male & hugged him. She sighed & looked wiser than her years for a moment, then gave a mischievous grin. "Momma said tomcats were all different, but sometimes I think they are all the same." Then she turned & began to tidy the room, almost automatically as if she was used to handling such chores. Looking up at Jenny with a puzzled look. "Miss Jenny? Do we need more food? I can go foraging if we do. I am good at it." She said confidently. "Humans like to throw food at me." She gave Jenny a forlorn big-eyed look, much like the one given by Puss in Boots from the movie Shrek, then giggled. "It always works. she said confidently.
Anna laughed at the kitten's theatrics. Then settled on a warm blanket near the cooking fire. "Ya gonna want ta watch dat one Jenny. She's gonna be a handful." The older cat closed her eyes & settled with a sigh. It had been a rather wild few days.

the frail old tom chuckled, "oh I can see why my dear!" Gus said then he tottered back to his spot and sipped his tea. Pumpkin brings up a fair point is there anything that you might need from the theatre? I may not be able to bring it myself but I can certainly expedite some youngsters fetching it!" he said.

Jennyanydots smiled warmly at the little kitten
"That is real nice to offer, dear. But I don't think I need anything in the moment nor would I really want you out there while we still have all these troubles."
She fluffed the little one's hair.
"We don't want them to start on kittens, too."
To the other two in the den.
"No, thank you. I think we have everything for the moment. Though I do wish wish Jelly were back. It would just take a big weight off my shoulders to know her safe."
She sighed.
"We can nothing do than wait ... and I hate to wait!"

The small kitten gave Jenny a gentle headrub. "I hate to wait too." she confessed. Then, Pumpkin's head came up & she gave Gus a puzzled look. "What's a theater?" She asked innocently, looking from one adult to the other. Her life on the docks hadn't really taught her anything about the more artistic ways of life. From listening to the others speak & somethings she'd heard from her Momma's clients, she knew Gus was called the 'theater cat' but she had no idea what that meant.
A fleeting look of sadness at all Pumpkin hadn't experienced & the amount of worry on Jenny's face flashed across Anna's face, then was gone. Forcing a bit of cheer into her voice, she scooped the kitten into her lap & looked at Jenny & Gus expectantly. "Well, tha kit asked a legit question." She winked. "I bet she's never heard of that Gumby cat either." She added with another sly wink. "Seems ta me some edjercating needs ta be done here."

a smile played across the old toms muzzle as he sipped his tea. "ahhhhhhh now you see little one the Theater is a place where performers sing, dance, and play parts to entertain others. can be...it IS a magical place. oh not the sort of Magik that our Mystics do to be sure, but magic none the less!" Gus said his voice strengthening with his passion or the subject. "when I have recovered more perhaps I shall take you to see The Grande...if Jenny agrees of course."

Jennyanydots smiled wearily with the kitten's affection and returned it with a fluff through its mane. Her ears turned toward Gus when he explained a theater to little Pumpkin, turning her smile more ruefully. The old codger would never let go of his one true love and taking the kitten there would usually be a great adventure and idea to entertain a kitten, but in the moment...?
"Usually I would agree, but with the ... things going on in the moment, I think we should wait till everything has settled down again. I think we should not add to the missing list in the moment."
