"Hmm. Do they?" Ragnvald asked in all seriousness. Aside from his early years spent with his twin brother in the care of their mother and then maybe a few weeks after they were on their own, before Deccie abandoned him too, Rage didn't spend time with other times. Not long enough to get a feel for what was 'normal'. Before she could make her own judgement on his question, he added,"Been on my own mostly for years now. Peanut Butter and that Hench lout were the first guys I've interacted with in...a good while."
His ears slanted down in embarrassment at her sudden interest in his scent. His nostrils flared as he tried taking a whiff of himself, before the scent of the ointment overpowered his sense. "Yummy?" Rage lifted an eyebrow, though his face was hidden from hers. He winced slightly, but that didn't stop him from making another quip. "Not for long, I suspect."

the lovely scarlet queen's heart twinged at how lonely Rangvald's past sounded. then she burst out in giggles "Peanut Butter? oh I hope some silly human named him after a sandwich spread!" Bomba said. then her green gold eyes twinkled, "and don't worry it won't last long! and you know what? I still think you smell nice!" she said with a laugh. "Rangvald most toms would be playing games by now to try and impress me, and you're not. I like that and it impresses me more."

Ragnvald felt the corner of his lips curve into a smirk at Bombalurina's words and giggles. "Could always ask him the next time I see him...but I'd rather not cut my time here..." Rage felt his cheeks grow warm and his ears flicked,"I mean, I shouldn't leave until you're done at least." He frowned slightly. He was so out of practice socializing, let alone trying to flirt or flatter a gorgeous queen. Plus, he wasn't sure how to go about asking to spend more time with the scarlett queen after she was done rubbing the cream on. He closed his eyes as it was caressed gently on his tender injuries. If the smell wasn't as bad, he would have felt quite soothed and calm by it.
And he was soothed, but the smell kept him from reaching a more tranquil state. "Thank you." He replied when she complimented him on his smell. However, her last comment made him speechless. How was one suppose to answer to that? Especially when he never went into her den to try and impress her. Besides, how impressive could a tom covered in bruises and maybe one or two superficial cuts be? Instead he jumped back to somethin he had heard her say, too unsure to talk about himself. "So who is this Macalicious?" Was it her boyfriend?

the lovely scarlet queen daintily cleaned her paws after she was finished, still sitting quite close to Rangvald. "Mac is...complicated." then her smile broadened as her clear green gold eyes hooded smokily and she rose to her paws, "now I usually do this as a duet mind...." she said lightly. then she started to sing.... "Macavity's a mystery cat He's called the Hidden Paw For he's a master criminal who can defy the law He's the bafflement of Scotland Yard The Flying Squad's despair For when they reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there!" as she sang her tail and hips began to twitch in time.
"Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's broken every human law He breaks the law of gravity His powers of levitation would make a fakir stare And when you reach the scene of crime Macavity's not there! You may seek him in the basement You may look up in the air But I tell you once and once again Macavity's not there!"
Macavity's a ginger cat He's very tall and thin You would know him if you saw him for his eyes are sunken in His brow is deeply lined in thought His head is highly domed His coat is dusty from neglect His whiskers are uncombed He sways his head from side to side With movements like a snake And when you think he's half asleep He's always wide awake!"
"Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity For he's a fiend in feline shape A monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street You may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!" by now Bomba had fallen into the songs rhythm and had begun her accustomed dance routine that usually accompanied the song, swaying and gyrateing.
"He's outwardly respectable I know he cheats at cards And his footprints are not found in any files of Scotland Yard's
And when the larder's looted Or the jewel cases rifled Or when the milk is missing Or another Peke's been stifled Or the greenhouse glass is broken and the trellis past repair There's the wonder of the thing: Macavity's not there!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity There never was a cat of such deceitfulness and suavity He always has an alibi and one or two to spare Whatever time the deed took place, Macavity wasn't there!"
"And they say that all the cats whose wicked deeds are widely known (I might mention Mungojerrie, Rumpelteazer, Griddlebone) Are nothing more than agents for the cat who all the time Just controls the operations The Napoleon of Crime!
Macavity, Macavity, there's no one like Macavity He's a fiend in feline shape A monster of depravity You may meet him in a by-street You may see him in the square But when a crime's discovered then Macavity's not there!" instead of the wary look that she and Demeter usually finished with she gracefully flowed back into her spot beside Rangvald. "and that is Macalicious, he is someone to be wary of and not trifled with!"

The curvy queen had suddenly removed herself from his side and he found himself missing her presence. However, his disappointment was something he decided to file away and ruminate on it later. It was crazy for having such emotions over another he had only just met. That made him crazy right? His thoughts were briefly interrupted when he heard the beautiful alto(?) voice coming from beside him. The moment she sang the first phrase of Macavity, he put it together. He knew of Macavity, of course he did, thats where his twin brother went, and he often evaded the hench patrols; preferring to be left on his own.
He had just never heard the nickname Macalicious for the Napolean of Crime before. It didn't negate or take away from the song, and he admitted he couldn't take his eyes off of the scarlett queen either. It also took all the strength he had not to get up and dance with her. She had her own routine and him getting up and joining her might have only served to throw her off. But as soon as the song was done he was smiling brightly at her. "Are you still trying to figure out where to add in Macalicious as another one of his infamous nicknames?"

the scarlet queen gave another tinkling laugh, "I just might at that!" she said then she flipped the plume of her tail up and looked at Ragnavald coquettishly over it, "mostly it's used by the ladies because well.....he does cut a handsome figure. not as good as your though."

Rage nodded along, but it was more out of habit. "I'll take your word for it. I know of Macavity. I've got a twin brother who abandoned me for a life with him..." He shrugged at talking about his family life, as it was in the past for him. Something he was already over, then continued. "But I've never seen or met the tom." He wasn't about to comment any more on the Napolean of Crime though. He had never really looked at toms that way, aside from some brief wonderings. But he was curious by nature, always looking for answers to his questions and having to experiment with all these answers to confirm whether its true. His face flushed and he opened his mouth three times, but only silence followed. He cleared his throat nervously, and squeaked out a,"Thank you." He shook his head,"But you're one to talk. You're beautiful. One of the most beautiful queens I've ever met." His eyes couldn't seem to look at her as he complimented her and it only made him flush more.

the scarlet queen stepped forward and purring gave him a rub with a softly well rounded shoulder. "thank you," she aid trying to catch his eyes with her own while her plumy tail wrapped around her. "now oh studly one I don't smell any queens, or toms for that matter, on you so does that mean you are unattached? 'cause I may be the biggest flirt in The City but Bomba dosn't poach!" she asked in a low soft voice.

Rage's breath hitched when she came closer and he felt her shoulder rub against his own. It brought a chill on and he shivered slightly, despite the fact that he was warm. In fact the whole den felt warmer then average, and he brokered that he required further study later. For now, the scarlett queen was talking in her soft alluring voice once more, and he focused solely on her. His eyes finally managing to raise up and meet hers. His nerves, he assumed, had caused his lips to go dry, so he licked at his bottom lip to moisten it. So it was flirting! His mind had heard first, before the implications of her question caught up with him.
She was....surely asking whether or not he was single, right?
He had of course protected Tabitha when they ran into the Hench Patrol, and he thought there were looks being exchanged, but that may have been his imagination or the adrenaline. It wasn't flirting, and she hadn't said anything since they got back to the yard. He was single. "Yeah." His voice had a very unmanly squeak to it. He cleared his throat and flushed slightly. "No girlfriends..." He was tempted to say ever, but he didn't want to come across as inexperienced.

the curvy scarlet queen swept her plumey tail up him with a twinkle in her clear green gold eyes and a smile on her muzzle at Rangvald's squeak. "well that's good because you are just adorable!" her eyes cloud for a moment and she gave him a vunerable look "now something that I want to be up front about because it makes a difference with some toms...I can't have kittens. some tom's treat you dint if they know, and some...get all up ti like you lied to them yoiu don't tell them and they find out dig?"

Ragnvald was sure he could get use to being called adorable. But, he wasn't completely sure where this was going. They had just met, so there wasn't a chance that this was a prelude to becoming an item. From his silent observations, few though they were, it was too fast for it to be that. So Rage's thoughts were comfortable enough to go back to flirting, or the queen just being friendly.
His throat went dry at the mention of kittens. Which only served to give him evidence that she just moved fast. But he tended to think too much in his head, and thus he remained silent for a while. His thoughts were running rampant, but the full extent of what she was telling him settled over him. He wasn't sure exactly what he was feeling...about any of it. Too many thoughts, emotions and senses plaguing him at once, that only quiet reflection later would help him sort through everything. But he was silently conflicted about how toms had treated her in the past. With a soft whisper, he responded. "I'm sorry that others have treated you differently or irrationally. It's not right."
Rage of course wasn't responsible, but the sudden urge to apologize on their behalf had bubbled to the surface before he could stop it. "Is...it natural, or were you spayed by humans?" His voice was above a whisper, but still soft. Clearly, trying to give the impression that he knew it might be personal, and she didn't need to tell him, if she didn't want to.

the lovely scarlet queen leaned against Rangvld with a soft smile, enjoying the firm tone of his muscles under his fur. "thanks sweets,"she purrred. "it was humans, and they meant well having their reasons and all. and some toms get the notion that if a queen can't have kittens then what she is good for is a good time whenever and wherever THEY get an itch." Bomba flicked an ear and then rubbed her head against Rangvald's broad shoulder. "not that you seem that sort! I'm not looking for long term just yet, but I like you studly and I don't want things to get weird dig? now have you found a den yet? if not I would glad to show you around!" she said warmly.

He nodded his head at her 'Thanks'. He had a fair amount of knowledge of humans, but he was sure his curiosity was strong enough to be taken in by one. So he had done his best to keep himself scarce when humans were nearby. It pained him to know other toms may have treated this beauty in front of him the way she was explaining. Her words after made him curious about whether she was implying that she wanted something with him, but he didn't want to say anything that might be embarrassing. So he gave her a small smile. "I'm confident that you'll find a tom that will be everything you want in one. Soon." He stood up then and stretched out his arms and his back. Wincing slightly at the pang from his tender side. He didn't think anyone would actually be interested in him, in that way, not for a while anyway. "No. No den...but I'd love if you would show me around. If it's not too much trouble and you have the time."

the lovely scarlet queen gave Rangvald a soft coy smile you are sosweet!" she said then Bomba preformed a series of eye popping stretches of her own. "Studmuffin if it was too much trouble I wouldn't have offered! do you want a place with peace and quiet or place where the action is?" she asked with interest.

Ragnvald's eyes were sparkling, mirroring Bomba's own coy smile. He did tilt his head slightly and threaded his fingers together in thought. Her question was one he knew he needed to give a lot of thought to. He preferred somewhere quiet so he could be able to reflect on his own thoughts in peace. However, he was an observer by nature. Rage needed a place bustling with activity in order to further study the Jellicle's culture and perhaps find out more out that elusive heavyside layer."I don't suppose there's anyplace that has both?" He asked sheepishly.
