Bomba's smile grew into a brilliant Cheshire cat grin "oooohhh I think I have just the thing, and best of all it is right around the corner!" said gleefully. then she was up and off in a flash. he scarlet queen flowed fluidly around the junk stack and stopped in front of a large silver cube with a round...window? the cube was part of the center of the junk stack and when Bom pulled the "window" open it proved to be the shell of a washing machine that had had the mechanism and back removed creating a roomy space within that was far deeper than first appeared.

Ragnvald's eyebrows went up as Bomba spoke. Rage was a bit surprised that she knew of a perfect place close to where she lived. Though, he couldn't say he was upset with having her as a neighbor. She was easy to get along with, and he rather enjoyed her company, even if she confused him. He wasn't good at reading signals. "Really?" He had asked, only to realize that his thoughts had taken him away and she was already out her door. He hurried to catch up. He had almost toppled into her, but managed to stagger to the side and avoid a collision. His eyes looked up at the vacant den and found himself sizing it up. Peering his head into the "window", a "Wow. I love it." could be heard, slightly muffled from inside.

the lovely scarlet queen happily did a pirouette curling her tail around her. "Grrrreat! I know where are some fabric remnants that would make a real nice bed! that is one nice thing about the junkyard, there is all sorts of useful stuff!" she said with a merry purr.

Ragnvald had been listening to Bombalurina, as much as the den's walls muffling the sound would allow. But the spacious interior and the design of the inside of the den, not to mention how great it looked on the outside had been eating away at his attention. It wasn't until he heard her say 'There is all sorts of useful stuff!', that he popped his head out of the window long enough to ask,"Such as?"

the curvy scarlet queen gave a tinkling laugh "oh there are things that can be used as tables or seats, drawers or boxes that can make really comfy beds!" she said, clear green gold eyes alight with joy. Bomba gave her plumey tail a fluff as she stretched and leaned into the dens opening.

Rage was still glancing around the emptiness excitedly. It was the first place he felt he could actually settle down at, unlike the other shelters he had taken part in, constantly jumping from one to another. Always moving. It was tiresome after awhile, and it had been awhile. Could a chair go over there? Would a table look good in his den, or should he forgo getting one? Where would he place his bed? Ragnvald finally moved backwards, and exited his upper torso from the window. He glanced back, with a serious expression on his face. "Do you decorate?"

the curvy scarlet queen swept her plumy tail up in front of her like a burlesque fan dancer and gave Rangvald a sultry look over it. "oh Studmffin I've been told that I am very decorative." she purred.then she winked. "so yes I would be happy to help!"

There she went again, with that flirting. It had to be flirting. But Rage didn't really know her. He couldn't say if this was just how she acted in general or if she actually liked him. And it'd do no good ruminating on it, but he wasn't sure if he should even approach the subject with her or even how he should. So instead, he took her words as what he assumed they were. An offer to help. He turned around, giving her a bright smile. "Thank you so much. So shall we head over to where some of this stuff is?" He asked, finally coming fully out of the window and back down in front of her, with his arm outstretched.

the curvy scarlet queen gave Ragnavald a bright happy smile as she took his arm, "sure 'nuff! some is off that way,." then Bomba frowned prettily in thought,but which do you want to look for first?" she asked as she brushed the tom with her long plumey tail.

Ragnvald couldn't help it. The moment Bomba took his arm, his paw immediately went to the top of hers as he walked alongside Bombalurina. He wondered if anyone would get the wrong impression about them if someone were to see them walking together arm in arm. But after meeting with the leader and getting permission to stay, he really hadn't run into any other jellicles, just Bombalurina. It was a thought that struck him and had to be asked aloud. Though he had felt somewhat bad for changing the subject so abruptly. "I have a question, if I may. How many jellicles are there?" He looked over to where she was leading him and kept pace with her. He felt the brush of her tail, and answered in kind, by letting his own tail brush the inside of her leg briefly. Not having too much contact with other cats, he assumed it was natural behavior. "Aside from meeting your leader and getting his go ahead for sanctuary, and you. It's been...like a vacant yard here."

the lovely scarlet queen gave Ragnvald a sidelong glance with her clear green gold eyes, "well let's see there is our 'Royal Family', you've met Big Daddy D Deuteronomy our leader, he's a big sweetie but boy oh boy he has a flair for leadin! then there is his sons Munkustrap, Rum Tum Tugger, Coricopat and Macavity. Munk is the leader of the Tribes Protectors Heir Apparent and all around boy scout. Tugger I guess would be the Party Prince since he's the spare in the Heir and a Spare. he and I have history, a long series of one night stands when one or the other got the yen but nothing serious and if I found somone that I WAS serious about they would end right quick! Coricopat is a mystic and the Twin of his daughter Tantomile, though he hasn't been around in a while come to think of it. anyway his other daughter is Jemima, she's a sweet little thing. the less said about Macaliscious the better!" Bomba said with a bright smile. "then there are the Toms, Alonzo, Plato, Mungojerrie, Tumblebrutus, Asparagus JR, Pouncival, Kejjie, Gilbert and Deepwalker." she added ticki them off on her slender fingers.

Ragnvald halted in his steps as he heard Bombalurina's words. When they began to grow distant, he finally noticed that he had stopped walking with her. Picking up the pace he walked faster in order to catch up. "I knew he was the leader of this tribe." Rage thought out loud, before adding,"But I had no idea he was actually of a royal line." Automatically assuming she was speaking in literal terms. "That is quite a family your King has got though. I am sure I will eventually run into them one of these days."
But what did you say to royalty?
His words were few when he had been talking with Old Deuteronomy, and now he couldn't help but think his few words in the older toms presence had been insulting to him. But he was still granted sanctuary, for whatever that was worth. "And what do you think? What are your opinions of those toms you've just listed off." If there was an opportunity to make friendships, it would most likely be with some of the males of the tribe. It wasn't unreasonable to want to get to know how compatible he'd be with any of them, before running into them. He needed to be prepared.

the lovely scarlet queen pasued to let Rangvald catch up unconsciously posing, back and ta arched just so... "well...Alonzo is a black and white, a real stand up guy and is one of the Protectors all earnest and wanting to prove himself you know? "Plato...Plato is very, very proper what the Humans would call would call very British all polite and all." Bomba gave Rangvald an innocent look over shoulder ruff, "I did tease him some to try and get him to loosen up, and I'm not terribly proud out that." then her clear green gold eyes brightened," but he has a Mate now Quickpaw she's a real sweetie and they are soooooo adorable together! Mungojerrie he's a tiger stripe and SO SO much the opposite! brash, bold and lots of fun and trouble, always nicking things from the Humans. he and his sister Rumpleteazer are twins and wait till you see themin action! Tumblebrutus is a patched brown and a real nice guy, but unsure of self dig? it's cause he's young and trying to find himself. Asparagus JR has to be seen to be believed, he's like his Grand Da, a Theater Cat, always putting on plays and such with a troupe. though just between you I don't think he fancies queens as much toms. Pouncival is young and playful, and a bit of a klutz in a sweet way. I don't know much about Kejjie and Gilbert, Kejjie is this big strong fella with lots of scars who kind of drifts in and out and keeps to himself a lot. same for Gilbert only he is small and ever so looks like a strong wind is going to blow him away! now that is something that l never happen to Deepwalker! he is big, muscle bound and oh so much into the macho trip! but he is quite galant in his own way and another real nice guy if you can get past the I'm Great Hunter and Warrior thing. haven't seen him around in a few days..." her face clouded with worry for a moment then brightened like the sun coming out from behind a cloud, "then there are the Queens...."

Rage watched steadily, as they continued once more to walk in the direction that Bombalurina was leading them in. Still, not seeing or running into any of these cats Bomba seemed to know pretty well. He was also increasingly interested in what she had to say about those she was describing and that she hadn't come up for air yet. Both fascinated him in equal measure. He wished to inquire more about all of them, minus the two she had told him she didn't know very well. But it didn't seem like the time, and he figured he could ask more in depth questions about her and those that resided in the junkyard while they were "shopping".
Ragnvald nodded, to let her know he was still paying attention, as she wasn't giving him the opportunity to reply yet. Which made him wonder when was the last time someone had asked her opinion on anything. He noticed the small change to her face at the mention of a tom named Deepwalker; he noticed the tiny details, but wasn't sure what he should say in referance to the tom, or even IF he should. Then, she trailed off as she mentioned queens and he cleared his throat. "Are there that many of them here?" He shrugged his shoulders. "No matter. I would like your opinion on them as well."

Bomba cocked head fetchingly and continued to smile, "easily, and yes and no. see only a few of the Tribe keep up dens full time, most have humans and homes elsewhere too, so it's pretty rare that the full tribe is here at one time dig?" she said. "the Rag Bin is right over there," she said pointing to a very large wooden box. "and if you like pretty young things you landed in the Honey Pot!" she added with a wink. "there are Etcetera and Electra, they are just at their Majority, Victoria, she's a dancing queen, I mean her classical is like wow. Tabitha Daredeveel, she's a Library Cat. then there are Jennyanydots and Jellylorum they are our healers. but Jelly is stuck in Macaliscious territory and we have been told specifically not to try and get her out 'cause she has a plan and refuses to let anybody put themselves at risk, which kind of blows you know? oh there is Demeter she is such a doll, and Cassandra she's a bit snooty but hey you get used to it." then the scarlet queens frowned prettily "but come to think of it they haven't been around much either, same with Misto, Mr Mistffolese he's a mystic." the lovely queen gave a distracting shiver, "it's kind of scary...."
