She raised her eye brow, "Why do I think that's a load of catnip?" she asked staring him down. If he didn't work for Macavity, why would he have been spying on them? Although she had a strong feeling he had something to do with Big Mc.

"How should I know why you think it's a load of catnip?" Vyle snapped at the red queen. "I don't work for Macavity," he repeated stubbornly. Lovely, he just kept having to answer that question, then he wouldn't have to worry about betraying his tribe. But why did he care so much? Ah, yes, because he'd like to live to see the next sunrise.

She glared at him before grasping his throat firmly, "Think your tough don'cha kit?" She hissed. She waited for someone to yell at her for attacking the kit, although she wasn't sure anyone would really care. He wasn't Jellicle after all.

"Stop it, Bomba," protested Merrilee, surprised to find herself defending a stranger--a tom, no less. But he was just a kitten.
Vyle coughed and sputtered as the red queen's claws tightened around his throat. Well, this was lovely. It wasn't just his own tribe he needed to worry about killing him... He glared at the silver queen. Did she think he needed her to save his neck? Oh, save his neck! He would have given a sort of manic chuckle if he hadn't been being choked...
Munkustrap decided it was definitely time to intervene. "Let go, Bombalurina, I mean it," he said calmly and firmly. "How do you expect him to tell us anything if he can't breathe?"

Bomba looked over at Munkus still holding her glare. She relased the toms throat and walked by Munkustrap to stand behind everyone else. She felt foolish for having snapped at the tom like that. She wans't ina very good mood. It was definatly her lil argument with Cassandra. That's it, blame it on her... Bomba really needed to find someone else to blame for once.

((Ack...I'm behind!! *Rushes*))
Seffina had been startled by this random cats appearance, but it had all gone so fast. Before she knew it, Alonzo was no longer by her side. She was suddenly angry, though not totally sure why. Might as well get Bomba on my bad side too... She crossed her arms going in between Alonzo, Bomba, and Munkustrap. "EXCUSE ME!!!!!!"She hissed. Her ears were pressed flat against her head,"I just came to the yard, and no one suspected me to work or Macavity, just because I'm a queen? Why don't we give him the benefit of the doubt?" Her tone was still full of venom, as she put her paw around Bomba's wrist, so she would let go of the tom. More relaxed, Seffina looked to the tom, her tone much softer,"You have a name?"
Coricopat had been minding his own business, and had been incredibly silent, but for a reason. He had entered the toms mind to read it. Now reading a mind was very tricky, since other's are easier to read, and most of the time you can't be sure if what in their mind is part of your own mind, something in a dream or fantasy, or reality. Coricopat groaned out, gripping his head. He had been too busy with Vyle to know or sense Chaos in the opposite direction. He looked to Munkustrap. "Well, there's good news and bad news...Which would you like to hear first?"

"Seffie's right," growled Merri, "you didn't see us trying to choke her to death, did you?" She glared at Bombalurina.
"She does 'ave a poin'," agreed Mungojerrie.
Alonzo crossed his arms. "Well Seffie wasn't sneaking around spying on us, was she?" he said to Merri in his best "smart tom to dumb queen" tone.
Vyle watched them all with interest. "So I guess I just get to sit back and relax while you all decide for me whether I'm bad or not," he grinned cheekily. But he glanced worriedly at the mystic twin. Did he know something?
Munkustrap turned slowly to face Coricopat. "Exactly how bad?" he asked, trying to keep his voice even.

Bomba shot Merri an iritated look. She didn't have anything against the queen till now. Her day was going from bad to worse every second. She looked at Cori still iritated, "Spit it out already! Good news first cause I can't take anymore bad news right now!"

"But the bad news is probably more important for us to hear," said Munkustrap, more sharply than he'd meant to. He sighed and shook his head. "Just tell us, Cori."

Bomba shook her head angrily at him. Everyone was so mean today! Stress maybe? Who knows who cares. All she wanted to do was here this 'news' from Cori. "Alright whatever. Do it in whichever order stripes wants it in." She flicked her wrist at Cori.

Seffina dropped her paw away from Bombalurina, with narrowed eyes back in the scarlett queens direction. She trailed her eyes back on Vyle, still unaware of his name. "How bad are you?" She said a little more seductively than she intended to. Her ears perched up at Coricopat's voice, and then Munkstraps voice. She leaned in closer to Munk, on instinct, just in case the tom was lower than dirt.
Coricopat had gotten off his comfortable spot on the tire. He wasn't thrilled on how everyone was trying to speak at once, and placed a comforting, but shy paw on Bomba's arm; in hopes to relax her a bit. Even though he was a mysterious one, he still didn't like to see queens in distress, especially the ones he fancied. "Well the bad news is that it's extremely difficult for me to read his mind. The perfect makings of a spy. However, the good news is, is that he does seem to hate Macavity quite a lot."

"Well, I suppose that is good news," said Munkustrap, though he was disappointed that Coricopat hadn't been able to find out more.
"But we can't just let him go on his way," said Alonzo impatiently. "So he hates Macavity. That doesn't tell us anything, and especially doesn't explain why he was here spying."
"No," Mungojerrie agreed. "On'y 'e 'imself c'n tell us that." He raised his eyebrows at the kit, wondering how they'd possibly get him to talk.
Vyle wrinkled his nose. What kind of a question was that? He was also at a loss to understand the queen's tone; no one had ever talked to him like that. "Well, depends on who you ask. Some might say I'm horrid; some might say I'm too nice. Me, I say I'm only as bad as you make me." His cheeky grin returned as he congratulated himself on not giving away anything, not a single thing.
Merri shook her head and sighed. "We're not getting anywhere this way."

"Exactly," Bomba was adding into Merri's point, "At least my way had more conversation, and fun in it." She noticed Cori's paw on her arm. She looked at him insuspicion. She wanted to ask why he had done that but just decided to ignore it. Things were simpler that way, "He may hate Macavity but who doesn't? I bet some other henches hate Mac's guts. So what are we going to do with him?" She gave the kit a sensual look, which was pretty much reflex to her.

Coricpat nodded his head,"You really can't be sure. But as Seffina was saying you can't judge him for that alone." He frowned, still touching the scarlett queen, though not aware of it though. "I'm sorry, Munkustrap. It is your decision on what we should do. What do you suggest?"
Seffina kept a watchful gaze on Bomba, on Vyle, and on Munkustrap. "I guess this is a normal thing?" She said trying to lighten the mood. Then she gave Vyle another look over,"You know...you're not that bad on the eyes. You sure you don't have a name?"

"Never said I didn't," Vyle snapped. "Just said I'm not telling. I got my reasons." He sort of hated speaking so meanly to this gorgeous queen, but then he hated being interrogated even more. And he hated the way they talked about him like he wasn't there. Catnip, was there anything he didn't hate?
Oh. Right. This was his decision, wasn't it? But what to do? Sensing that talking about him instead of to him was only making the young tom more resentful, Munkustrap addressed Vyle directly. "No one's forcing you to do anything," he said gently. "It's just natural to be confused when someone drops in your home out of nowhere, don't you think? I'm not going to accuse of anything, not without any grounds for accusation. But, you did seem to be sneaking around. I think you should stay here with us for awhile, just a safety precaution."
"So I'm a prisoner," Vyle said flatly.
"Not a prisoner," said Merri kindly. "Just a...you know, guest. You'll like it here. Everyone's really nice." She looked around. "Mostly. Once you get to know them."
"But we can't just let him wander alone around the junkyard either," protested Alonzo.
"No, that moightn't be a good oidea, Munk'tap," said Mungojerrie.
"Of course not," said Munkustrap. "Someone should be his...erm..." 'Guard' was definitely not the word to use here. "Buddy? Any volunteers to be his friend and make sure he's okay while he stays with us?"
Vyle rolled his eyes. "Someone's got to guard me. I know. You can say it nicely as you want, I'm a prisoner."
