Fangorn couldn't resist a dry chuckle at Gilbert's words. "Oh, him," he repeated. Of course he knew who the Tugger was. Who didn't? What Fang didn't know is whether he acted as crazy as he did on purpose, or was truly certifiably insane... Then again, Jellicles were all a bit off their rockers. Who else devoted an entire night to dancing? Shrugging his shoulders, Fang turned his attention back to the situation at hand. "Last I heard, he was causing something of a rumpus over near the warehouse. As I was busy with other things, I did not actually see him myself." Now he wished he had been involved in that situation, whatever it had been. Whatever Tugger had done, it was enough to bring his friends here looking for him, so it must have been interesting. Perhaps Macavity would let him have a go at interrogating Tugger, if he had been captured.

"Yeah, him." Gilbert replied dryly, though understood Fang's reaction. He had a similar one when he first heard of Tugger. Though he was sure he had rolled his eyes at some point and stressed his displeasure at the thought of such a tom. And now that tom had his unwavering loyalty, respect, and....perhaps love. "Oh." Gilbert sobered as he thought over that. It didn't really tell him anything, and still left the possibility that Tugger might, or might not, be in the warehouse. "I believe you. Thanks, for whatever that's worth to you." He figured his gratitude was worthless to the hench. He did turn to leave, at that point.

Fangorn couldn't help being disappointed at how this was going. Having had a rather dull day thus far, it would've been nice if...oh, maybe Gilbert started a fight and Fang had to singlepawedly subdue him and drag him to the dungeons. But no, it was all polite conversation and Fang had absolutely no reason to stop him from leaving. Except that he was a Jellicle, of course. But he'd never even heard mention of this particular Jellicle, so how important could he be? Still, he did raise his eyebrows quizzically and inquire, "You're not going to go make sure your little friend's not in some trouble there?"

Gilbert slowly turned around, his eyes narrowing in concentration. He was not going to peek into this toms mind, and he only would if he suspected Fang knew the whereabouts of Tugger. But he had no reason to believe Fang did. "I am not stupid enough to go there alone. Tugger might not even be there and no doubt I'd eventually be killed. And why would I go willingly unless I was of some use or value to you and Macavity.
Which I'm not. Tugger is my only friend, I don't talk to anyone at the yard, and I'm not a good fighter; Obviously." He held up his bandaged arm to further prove his point. "And how happy would Macavity really be if you brought a good for nothing scrawny jellicle like me to him?" He wasn't worth the effort, well wouldn't have been. He did briefly wonder how valuable he'd be if his telepathy became common knowledge. However, he would need a reason to spy, mentally, on those of his tribe, and there was nothing he could think of that would motivate him that way.
With a sudden spark of clarity he gave the larger tom an even look. "It almost feels like you WANT a fight."

"Does it?" Fangorn was more intrigued by the idea than anything. Most of the time, there was plenty going on for him to worry about. He didn't need to go around looking for fights, nor did he usually get so bored as to wish for one. Fights were generally things that arose out of necessity, though he couldn't say he didn't enjoy them. Of course, like any hench, Fang would enjoy pleasing Macavity by the capture of a Jellicle. But this Jellicle? To all appearances he was completely useless. Fang would get no thanks for his capture. (If he had known of Gilbert's mind abilities, he would not have been so quick to call him useless.) And, appealing as the idea of a fight sounded, he was still prideful enough not to want to be thought of as "that one cat who always goes around looking for pointless fights." So, finally, after thinking a moment, he shrugged. "I've got nothing to quarrel with you about. Move along, if you're going."

Gilbert, though had gotten enough sleep, well he passed out-which was hardly sleep. He felt the tiresome exhaustion of the previous nights activities. It had been so emotionally draining and Gilbert, though he was still in control did seem to hear some of Fang's surface thoughts. They sounded like Fang's normal voice, and he was finding it hard to distinguish between the two. "Yeah, you wouldn't want to be known for that, would you?" A part of him believed that Tugger was in the warehouse, and he wondered if he was trying to get caught with his telepathy so that he could get in and see Tugger; to help the stubborn sod. Still, the cream colored tom turned around to leave yet again, before his slip of the tongue registered in Fang's mind.
((Fang can either just let Gilbert go, and I'll have Gilbert exit, or we can wait for Demeter to join before you reply. Or Fang can catch on to what Gilbert said and we can go from there. <3))

Something was very odd about Gilbert's words. Fang narrowed his eyes as the other tom turned to go. "Known for that? What might 'that' be, exactly?"((super short, sorry!! Guess we can see where this goes and if all else fails, wait for Deme )

Gilbert's mane began to bristle, but aside from a slight swagger to his tail, he did not show his agitation in any other way. Presumably, he could just keep going, but there was a fairly good chance that Fang could hit him, and he'd prefer to see any attack coming. So he reluctantly turned back around, a small scowl on his face; finding it harder to contain his more sarcastic ways. "To be known for the tom who starts pointless fights." He spoke dryly, and matter-of-factly. Gilbert was seriously thinking he was crazy. The tom should have left to find another way into the warehouse. But he wasn't sure if there was a unguarded place to get in and look around.

Fangorn did his best to remain nonchalant, but his suspicions were increasing by the minute. Perhaps he had underestimated this tom. Gilbert definitely seemed to be making use of telepathy. "Interestingly enough," he commented, "I never said that."

"Oh you didn't?" His voice was surprised and a tad sarcastic. Gilbert did study the tom carefully, making sure he wasn't going to get hit in the face for his attitude. Taking in a deep breath in the hopes of calming himself down, he shrugged. "Sounded like you had said it. You certainly were implying it." Gilbert tried for nonchalant as well. Certainly that was feasible.

Frankly, telepathy aside, Fangorn didn't care for the Jellicle's impertinent tone. It was one thing to come wandering around near someone else's territory; it was quite another to act like you owned the place while doing it. And still, Gilbert hadn't really said anything to warrant a fight. Fang would not be the one to lose his temper. He did say mildly, "You want to moderate your tone. One might think you're beginning to look for a quarrel yourself."

Gilbert knew it was more the memories of others he had recently had in his head trying to influence him to hit Fang in the face. Just once. He was still contending (to a point) not just with his stubbornness. But that of Tugger, Munkustrap and Jemima. All three cats were renown for their stubbornness. The cream colored tom nodded his head briefly. "You're right. It's no excuse, but just the stress over my missing friend." He almost laughed at himself for even saying such a thing. He shook his head. "Not that you a hench and a complete stranger would care about."

Fangorn smirked. How well these Jellicles thought they understood the henchcats. It was true, though, Fang couldn't care less about Gilbert or his friend's well-being. However, he did once again care about keeping Gil here just a little longer, find out if he really was more valuable than Fang had at first supposed. "You're right," he agreed with a slight sneer, "I don't care about you or your little friend or the 'stress' it's causing your poor little nerves. So you can believe me when I say that any moment now I might forget to be nice and have no qualms about ripping your throat out." He said all this with perfect calm, and felt slightly ridiculous for saying it. It was really an empty threat, as he would of course consult Macavity before ripping this guy's throat out...unless he made him especially angry. Then he remembered about the possible telepathy, and did his best to dismiss these thoughts from his mind. No need to let the Jellicle know exactly what he would or would not do.

((Trying to figure if I should reply or wait... XD I think the thread with Demeter/Mac/Rumpus is almost over. So I don't think it'll be a long wait.))
