Three days since the Ball

[[scean]]

Quaxo had completely blocked out every taunt Rumpleteazer and Mungojerrie and thrown them, angry with them for angering Munkustrap. The older cat was always too stressed, and it wasn't right of anyone to put any more stress on him that was unneeded.

The younger tom shoved Mungojerrie away from him, frowning at the other male and turning to Munkustrap. He bit back the urge to curse at the mischevous pair.

[hell yes. owned.

i'm coming back, guys.

with my owning.]

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Munkustrap had taken a few steps back from the other three cats, holding his paws protectively over his back. It seemed like today was the day for everyone to touch where he hurt the worse, and he really, really, really didn't relish the thought of anyone else jumping on his back.

Even as he thought that, Munkustrap looked over his shoulder to make sure no mischievous kitten was about to try that very idea out on him.

Quaxo slid off of the hood of the car and stood, crossing his arms over his chest and frowning a little. He glanced over at his older friend and made his way slowly around him, taking a look at his back. "Munk..."

Quaxo sighed quietly and reached forward, resting a hand on the older tom's shoulder. "You're bleeding, Munkustrap. You didn't go to see Jelly, did you?"

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Munkustrap watched Quaxo as he circled him, wary of the younger tom at his back. "I had other things to do."

This was a common excuse, as Jellylorum would point out (if you asked her). Munkustrap wasn't fond of the time she forced him to lie still, 'recovering,' when he could be outside, doing his job. As a result, he didn't go to her unless something was seriously wrong, like a broken bone, or a cut that wouldn't stop bleeding. Old wounds reopened were painful (and a beacon for everyone who wanted to mess with him), but not truly serious. They would heal on their own.

"Munkustrap, come on." Quaxo murmured, biting his lip softly. "These are really deep. They could get... like... infected or something. Go see her. I'll keep watch while you're gone, okay?"

Quaxo slowly ran a paw down his friend's arm, taking hold of his paw carefully and hugging him loosely. "I'll be a good watchcat. You don't have to worry about the Junkyard or any of the kittens. Promise."

[Munkustrap Etc.]

"They won't get infected," Munkustrap said. He knew enough about cleaning and treating injuries (after collecting so many over the years) to do some basic first aid. "I'll be fine, if people just stop touching my back." He still sounded a bit grumpy, as they still stung from Rumple's shove, but honestly, they were just scratches! He'd gotten much worse from Pollicles and Macavity before.

Quaxo heaved a sigh and frowned, standing directly in front of Munkustrap. He reached up, putting a paw on each side of his face. "Go get them cleaned up, Munk." he demanded, staring into his eyes. "Go. I'll watch over the Junkyard. I don't want you hurt anymore."
The young tom let go and put a paw on his shoulder, turning him toward Jellylorum's own residence.

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Because it would be highly kittenish of him to pout and protest and say 'I don't wanna go to Jelly!', and because there wasn't really a non-kittenish way to say no to Quaxo's demand, and because Munkustrap did not want to come across as petulant and kittenish, he gave in and set off for the chest of drawers that was home to both Jelly and the nursery, but not before standing and matching Quaxo's stare for a long moment, to show that while he was obeying, he wasn't pleased with being ordered around. Hopefully, the kittens were already out and about, and he wouldn't have to deal with them on top of Jelly.

The couple looked at each other. They couldn't keep the kittens away from them! It was impossible! They where just to happy with the kittens around them, and the kittens where just so happy around them.

"Thay' can't do that!" Yelled Mungo.

"It is horrible!" Said Rumple crossing her arms.

"And then he goes off!" They both said at once leaning against eachother.

"Thay' wont get away with thas'." Said Rumple.

"We won't let 'em!" Said Mungo crossing his arms.

Quaxo heard the duo's bantering and frowned deeply, turning toward them and crossing his arms over his chest.

"Rumpleteazer, you hurt him. Did you not realize how badly his back was torn up? You two need to grow up. I'm YOUNGER than you and I'm more mature than you!" he yelled, sneering at them.

"If Munkustrap says you're not to be around the kittens, you better listen to him. You could have killed Pouncival today! You two are so irresponsible!"

[Munkustrap Etc.]

Munkustrap carefully entered the dresser, looking for Jellylorum and staying out of the way of the other cats.

"It's a free country!" Yelled Rumple she had heard a human with a American accent say that, and the other human he was talking to also said something. It was either No its not, or, Yes it's hot. Not being able to decide between the two she looked at Mungo and said. "It is a free country ain't it?" Mungo sighed and shook his head no.

"Oh well, it should be!" She protested with a grunt crossing her arms.
