Rumpelteazer beamed round at all of them. Now, this was what she enjoyed most about the Jellicles - just sitting about talking, teasing, and having a general good time. Surely the new cats would quickly learn to be happy here? How could anyone not be, with fun, friendly felines like these?
She did tilt her head and give a slightly bewildered look as Stubinz spoke to...no-one. She never quite knew what to make of him when he did that; did he really see things, or was he just a bit cuckoo? She supposed it mattered little either way, he was nice enough regardless. She shrugged her shoulders and returned to the conversation at paw.
"Invitations?" she repeated, looking from Rytt to Trent. "I didn't receive one either! Not a regular sort of one, at any rate. P'raps the smell o' fish an' the music was meant to be the invitation. In a gen'ral sorta way." She chuckled. "Hopefully the new 'uns will see it...er, smell it...'ear it...that way."

Bomba batted her big green gold eyes, "well Hon I know you aren't fond of crowds and I didn't want you to be uncomfortable. and we might have a big one coming!" the scarlet queen said warmly. "but your welcome to come and sit with Me and Teaze where it's warm! that go's for you too Trent!" she added with a wink and a swish of her tail.
"ahh Ryyt me Lad tis tis true!" Stubinz called with a smile "tis tha makins of a party true, an we do ha reason ta celerbte the Laddiebucks have pulled off a rescue an are tha way back with a passel of new potential Tribe members!" then the battered old tom offered a wink of his own to Rumpleteazer, "well me fair cailĂn as you twere one a tha ones settin tha party up we kind thought ya knew!" Stubinz said in a friendly chuckle.
Haversham ambled up to Trent with a grin, " mak'e it sound like a horrible dark concoction to be wary of ' I knew you had a sound head on your shoulders my boy! nowI Ah am not suggesting that we do as humans do and drink it by the pint mind but there is little harm in the occasional nip!" then the pudgy tom turned to Rumpleteazer with bow. "and never you mind that addlepated old crackpot! a lady deserves an Invitation, so I offer one to our fair stripped queen!"

Rytt's eyes wandered over to Bombalurina, with a small shake of his head. "Never said crowds made me uncomfortable there, Bombalurina." Which was true, he'd never once uttered the phrase, and with him always flitting about with a smile on his face, it was hard to determine just where she got the notion. Last he heard, she wasn't a mind reader. Taking her words more as a challenge, and he was one never to back away from a challenge, he sauntered over to her and Teazer. Taking a sit beside them, he continued to smile brightly. Only one cat would have known better, but he shoved that thought aside. Jokes did die from his lips at the words the others were saying. It didn't seem like the opportune time to make a joke. He did tilt his head to the side a bit. "Well if we're not here to party, then what exactly is going on?" He was curious as any other normal cat would be, and did wonder if there were something he could do.

The tom laughed at Teazer's small bit of rambling. It was rather endearing.
Trent raised a brow at Bombalurina as he pointedly looked from where they were sitting and over what he considered to be a small distance that was between them. The brown tabby wasn't exactly avoidant of physical contact, at least not in small groups. But with larger groups? He didn't mind close quarters but he also enjoyed having his own space - particularly because he grew up in an overcrowded shelter where there wasn't enough space for all the cats. Plus he'd already settled and gotten comfortable where he was. "Now if you'd said that before I'd gotten comfortable. Why pass up getting to sit among pretty queens?"
Trent smirked at Haversham's comment and nodded, "That would be a party, sometimes humans have some good sense. But I supposed a lowkey welcoming is more suited to this. Overwise I'd just be contradicting myself." He commented, though he did wonder how the rescue was going and if the trip back would be particularly hard for those who went and those whe were rescued. "Is there any idea how many are coming back?"

Bombalurina gave Rytt a friendly shoulder rub, "you didn't have to Hun," she said with a soft smile, "the Bombshell may not be the sharpest tool in the shed but I AM good at reading folk especially Toms! the set of an ear there, an unsettling of the fur here. how could I not figure it out? I after all you're my favorite Elder! don't get me wrong I love Big Daddy D and Gus, Haversham can be so sweet and old Stubby's fun, but you are the most like me! always trying to keep others spirits up dig?" the scarlet queen said. she shook her mane, "we heard about some cats who were in the hands of the most dreadful Humans, they were going to skin them to use their fur for clothing! so Teaszer and the Protectors went to rescue them and they are bringing them back!" she added batting her big green gold eyes. then Bomba turned Trent and blew him a kiss.
Haversham nodded his agreement to Trents question and gave Teazer a questioning look. that is a good question." he said.
Stubinz back and got comfortable as he listened quietly.

Rumpelteazer giggled when Haversham offered her an "invitation" to the party. "Why, thankee, sir, how thoughtful!" she grinned. "Well, we can certainly try an' make it a party, Rytt," she protested. "Cheer the new friends up a bit, wot? But yer right, Trent, we'll keep fings on the calm side..."
She trailed off and shifted her paws uncomfortably as the others began to ask how many were coming. How could she possibly admit she'd not even stuck around long enough to see the rescued cats, much less count them?
"That's...hard ta say," she said haltingly. "So much going on...a good many, though, I'd say. Best to plan fer more just to be safe, eh?"

Rytt watched Bombalurina closely as she rubbed his shoulder. He shrugged his shoulders, letting her have whatever victory she thought she'd won. It was pointless to argue and he really wasn't the type to argue. "Whatever you say dear. And I'm sure Deut and Gus would be crushed not to know they're not your favorites." He relaxed back, as he listened to Bomba, Trent and Rumpleteazer. They knew the situation better then he did, but he was quick on the uptake and understood what was going on after he listened to them. So that meant more cats, possibly traumatized cats. He couldn't quite get rid of the stab of hope that Colsyn might be among the group. Though he did try to smother that thought down quickly. Colsyn wouldn't be in the rescued party, he was gone and no matter how much he tried to swallow that rational thought, a part of him would always think that he was still out there on the streets somewhere. "With our healers missing in action...guess you my dear might get called for duty." He directed at Bombalurina. She was the only other one he knew of that had any sort of experience with medicine and healing.

the lovely red queen nodded, "well I'll do my best," she said then she gave Rytt a grin, "oh I'm not so sure about Big Daddy D, but Gus might be. you know for someone with palsey he has some pretty fast paws! especially when he's asleep and dreaming of one of his Light Of Loves from the good old days!" she added with a giggle.
the pudgy old tom nodded and stepped over to give Teazers shoulder a rub with his paw, "whatever the numbers we will make them welcome!" Haversham said warmly, then he cocked his head, "would you like some more water?" he asked Rumpleteazer with a smile.
Stubinz sat back and chatted amiably with the open air.

Trent quietly realized that apparently no one really knew for certain what was going to happen. Technically they didn't even really know if the rescue mission had succeeded. For all the consideration there was the possibility that perhaps they couldn't get the other cats out, or that those cats may have too afraid to leave - preferring the devil they knew to the fear of the unknown and unfamiliar. A nice face didn't always mean good intentions. Or Trent was just being oddly pessimistic about the possible outcomes - Teazer had managed to get out fine once her part was done, that was a good sign some good would probably come from the rescue.
The brown tabby let out an amused snort at hearing the healers were apparently missing in action. It was right down the same negative stream of thoughts he'd just been entertaining and had it oddly amusing. "At least now we know no one will be smothered with their motherly affection."

Rumpelteazer nodded around at everyone in a general sort of way, listening to them give various opinions and speculations. She listened somewhat anxiously when the others mentioned the healers being gone. Thankfully, Rytt didn't suggest Teazer would have to help with medicals along with Bomba... She smiled gratefully at Haversham when he offered her more water. "That'll be noice, thankee, Hav'sham."
She gave a slight frown when Trent mentioned no one being 'smothered' by Jenny and Jelly. "Oi don't fink they'd exac'ly smother any'un," she objected. "They allus seemed t'me t'know wot t'do in a crisis. Why, Oi recall once Jenny..." She hesitated, recalling too late how embarrassing the story was. Nothing for it but to finish as swiftly as possible... "Er, tha' is, she pulled a splinter outta me footpaw. She explained wot she was goin' t'do in a very matter-o-fact way, an' then she did it. Gave me a cup o' tea an' that was that. No mollycoddlin' or 'poor little dear.'" Teazer neglected to mention the bit where she'd screamed and carried on until Jenny slapped her smartly across the face. "Oi s'pose wot Oi mean t'say is...er, Oi fink they'd know to keep their distance wif those as needed it. Er, if that makes any sense," she concluded lamely.

Rytt nodded his head in agreement, though knew both of his old friends well enough to know how they'd really react. He gave Bomba a smile,"Oh you'll do fine. If there's any really bad off, you can triage them for Jenn." He did sense some tension in the air, which was understandable, considering they were waiting for injured cats; and there had been no word on whether Grumbuskin or Munkustrap had sustained any injuries. He did tilt his head and gave Teazer his attention. "Last you saw our fearless protectors...were they okay, or will we be needing to heal them as well?" He couldn't help an amused smile when talk of the healers, and Jenny in particular arose. "Why do I feel like there's more to that story, eh Teaze?" His tail swished back and forth, but he caught the scent of a cat nearby. Knowing it wasn't their group they were waiting for, his big blue eyes scanned the area. They landed on a glaring orange, and he shook his head. "Speak of the devil, and she appears."
Jenn had been out collecting more herbs to restock the shelves, so when she had finally be told about an incoming group of injured, she had thrown the herbs into the backroom and rushed to the gates. She would tidy up later, but upon entering the front, it didn't take her long to figure out she wasn't late to join the party. She gave Rytt a raised eyebrow at his comment and giggled. "I'm sure the horns are buried somewhere under my mass of a mane." She shook it for emphasis, though horns failed to appear. It would be an interesting accessory to wear in the future. She gave Trent, Bombalurina, Rumpleteazer, Haversham and Stubinz a curt nod and a greeting. "Since you're all just sitting around, I'm assuming there's no injured arriving just yet."
Rytt stood up abruptly, and got off of his perch. He stretched out some of his tired limbs; leftovers from waking up recently. "Whelp, since pint-sized Jenny has arrived, I'll leave you guys to it."
Jenn's jaw had dropped at his poor joke at her small size. Crossing her arms, she raised her voice. "You're not going anywhere. You can't expect Trent there to carry all of the injured if there are some that can't walk. You ever wonder if that's why they're taking so long to get back. No, you sit back down and help me when they all get here."

There was an amusing curve of his lips as Trent listened to Teazer's story and her insistence that there wasn't anything to worry about when it came to smothering any injured with affection. Particularly the way she'd hesitated before rushing to finish the story. The tabby tom was certain that meant that she was specifically keeping something rather embarrassing out of the story and hoping no one would catch the almost mistake. Trent patted Teazer on the shoulder empathetically, before offering a conspiratory wink - making it clear he knew there was more to that story but was simply going to leave it be for now. "It makes enough sense."
His focus was drawn to Jenn as she entered and laughed at her attempt to uncover horns under her mane. Particularly when it was announced he'd be responsible for carrying the injured if it was needed. The responsibility was accepted with an easy shrug, it made enough sense - the protectors would be tired from getting the cat here and he would be the most capable for chauffeur duty. "Well then I supposed I'm at your disposal, Miss. Devil herself."
Trent was about to say something else when an out of place noise towards the gates caught his attention, ear swiveling towards the noise. "I think we're about to find that out."

Rumpelteazer breathed a slight sigh of relief when Jenn arrived, distracting the others from any possibility of inquiring further into her story. True, it wasn't all that embarrassing, and not likely interesting enough to hold their interest for long in any case, but still...
When Jenn noted that they were all 'sitting around,' Teazer scrambled somewhat guiltily to stand up on her footpaws. True, no injured were here yet, but Jenn coming along all business-like and ready to work made Teazer feel lazy in comparison. She giggled slightly at Rytt's failed 'escape attempt,' though she could somewhat sympathize with wanting to begone before getting pulled into any doctoring... But she stayed put, scolding herself for being so silly, she could at least stay and be kind to the new cats and give them water or something...
Then Trent went on the alert. Teazer looked intently in the direction of the noise. "That be our guests arrivin', then...?"
