Mali sneezed up a fit. Aprilli coughed. Electra worried.
Belle looked at him. " Me no eat cats! Me eat puppy food!!!" Belle said, still looking dejected.

Burelle began to groom the two sick kittens, trying to soothe them with her touch.
"Er... no puppy food here. No eat cats." Was puppy food like the cat food his mother ate? Tumble wasn't sure, but he needed to make it perfectly clear that eating cats was not a viable option.

" Me no eat cats! That mean! Me no mean!!!" Belle said.
Mali pulled away from Burelle slightly, mewing. Aprilli didn't do anything.
Electra walked over to Burelle. " Miss Burelle... Are they ok? Do I need to get mama?" Electra asked.

"That's good. That you no mean." Tumble sighed. "You hunt, yes?" He hoped this puppy knew how to hunt, and he wouldn't have to teach her.
"Please do," Burelle said, tugging Mali back. "These two are getting sick."

Bombalurina stepped out of the piano, once the fact someone was calling her settled in. She peered into the night. She followed Munkustrap's gave, then spotted the tom. "Oh my Heavyside layer!" she gasped, running over to the tom.
"Bomba!" the tabby tom said.
Bombalurina through her arms around the tom and kissed him, then embraced him. "Look at you!" she said, pulling back and admiring the tom.
The cat laughed. "Look at you!" he said, kissing her cheek again.

Belle shook her head. " No. Me no hunt." Belle said.

Munkustrap frowned, stepping closer to the stranger. He studied the tom's face and coat. There was definitely something familiar about this tom... and if Bomba was greeting him with a hug and a kiss, then he probably wasn't a Monnik. Still... who was he? "You shouldn't be outside, Bomba," he said, not taking his eyes away from the strange tom. "It's still cold."
Tumble sighed and scratched his ear. "Well... you hungry?"

Belle nodded. " Me hungry a little.." Belle said.
Electra tapped her mother's shoulder. " Mama! Mali and Aprilli are sick!!!!" Electra said again.

Bomba waved her hand, as if to dismiss the idea. "I'm fine, Munk. Honestly." She turned back to the tom, then back again to face Munkustrap. "Munk, you remember Rokkonen, don't you?"
The tom, Rokkonen, stuck out his paw. "Munkustrap? I remember you. You were that little street kitten Ol' Duet took in, eh?"
"Munkustrap's the Jellicle protector now, Rocky," Bombalurina said, smiling.
"Is he now?" Rocky studied him.
"You must be freezing. And hungry," Bombalurina said, "Come into the piano. It's warm."
"Thanks sis," Rokkonen said, stretching.

Selina heard the happy talking and jumped to the entrance. She jumped over Mungo and slid behind Munkstrap silently. She wanted to heard this.

"Umm... okay. I hunt now. You stay." Tumble scrunched up his nose as he backed out of the stove. Feeding a Pollicle! What did they eat? They did eat mice, right? Maybe a rat, if he could find one...
Rokkonen! Of course! Munkustrap relaxed slightly (but not entirely), taking the other's paw with a faint smile. "Yes, of course I remember you. I just didn't recognize you. You've certainly grown up." The last time he had seen Rokkonen, the dark tabby was only slightly bigger than Quaxo, and not bearing as many scars. He frowned slightly as Bomba invited Rokkonen in without his permission - he was supposed to be protecting these cats, and who knows what Rokkonen had gotten into while he was away from the Jellicles! - but he didn't make a comment. Bomba hadn't seen her favorite older brother in a long time... he could cut them some slack now and interrogate Rokkonen later. He quietly followed the pair inside the piano.

Bomba led Rocky into the piano, then settled down in a corner. Rocky did the same, sitting across from his sister.
"So... how have you been?" Bombalurina asked, starting the awkward conversation.
"Fine," Rokkonen answered, shrugging.
"How do you like the streets?" the red queen asked. She gently touched a small scar on his cheek.
Rocky pulled back a bit. "It's cool. I hang out in an apartment garage. You wouldn't believe what these people throw into the trash."
Bomba smiled. "I'm glad you're safe."
"How about you? what've you been up to?" Rocky asked. "I can see you've gotten... bigger."
Bombalurina laughed. "I'm pregnant, Rocky," she said, rubbing her stomach.
Rocky chuckled. "Seems your flirtacious ways have caughten up with you."
Bomba punched Rocky in the arm. "Are you here to lecture me or what?"
Rokkonen got serious. "Actually, I'm here to hide out. The garage isn't nice in the winter." He paused. "And, there are some cats that are out to get me because..."
"I don't even want to know," Bomba interrrupted, holding up her paws. "And you'll have to ask Munkustrap."
"How 'bout it, Munk?" Rocky asked, turning to the Jellicle Protector. "Just for the winter. Maybe the first part of spring, but not a day later."

Munkustrap stepped over to Bomba and sat down beside her, placing his paw over hers. "I do want to know. Why are some cats out to get you?" He shook his head slightly. "The safety of the whole tribe has to come first. Before I can say yes, I need to know how much trouble we might be getting into."
Burelle watched the three, noticing how Ritzkin seemed to be unconsciously posturing, his proximity to Bombalurina and the way he touched her paw, the way he glared at the other tom... they all were screaming MINE! to the observant queen. She smirked. Bombalurina's kittens were going to be the best-protected cats in the world, save for their mother.

Selina had been silently following them, glad they hadn't even bother to look at her. When he mentioned people being after him, and that he was from the streets she steped into the circle. "You have people after you from the street? Maybe I know some of them." She said looking at the male tom. She knew the other two would be frowning at her anyway.
