"Ah, of course. Well, if you have to know, there's this queen, Delilah, and she's pregnant. She says their mine, and they probably are, but her mate thinks their his, and if word gets out..." Rokkonen shook his head. "But, yeah, she'll keep it on the down low. He'd kill her faster than he'd kill me. Besides, he wouldn't come to Jellicle land. His bark is worse than his bite."
Bomba looked over to Munk and mouthed, "Don't say anything". She didn't want him to think any less of her brother. "Let's hope Delilah's okay," she said, patting her brother's paws.

Munkustrap frowned, but he didn't say anything, and not just because Bomba asked him not to. He wasn't really one to scold another for impregnating a queen who wasn't his mate... but at least Bomba wasn't someone else's mate. "If it's only the one cat, then I don't see why you can't stay here," he said, curling his paw around Bomba's. "The rules haven't really changed since you left - you should still know the code of conduct we follow here. Deuteronomy's still the leader, I'm the Protector, and Alonzo is my second." He spread his free paw. "If you agree to follow the rules, then you're welcome to stay here as long as you'd like. Welcome back, Rokkonen." Business settled, Munkustrap glanced over at Selina, wondering if the little white queen would have an insult for Rokkonen like she seemed to with everyone else.

Selina smirked and looked at the male. "Looks like somone is a bit to much of a playboy. If I were you I'd take the warning and keep your little toy to yourself." She said before turning around and taking a seat by Munkustrap. She said giving Munkustrap a sly smile. She still wasn't going to be nice.

"Selina?" Rokkonen asked. He laughed and pointed. "Look who's clean now! You with your white fur! I remember you!" He paused, regaining himself. "And I wouldn't be calling anybody a playboy if I were you..."

Munkustrap sighed and shook his head when Selina commented on Rokkonen's habits, but he glanced up when Rokkonen recognized her. "You two know each other?" he asked. This could get very interesting... and was Rokkonen implying something about Selina? They weren't going to be expecting any more kittens in here, were they?

"Sort of," Rocky told Munkustrap. "I knew her mother... better."
Bombalurina chose this moment to distract Rocky. "Hey, you look half-satrved. The kill around here is good-- you should go hunting."
"I think I will," Rokkonen said, kissing Bomba's head. He nodded to Munkustrap before slipping out of the piano and hunting down a mouse.

Selina's eyes went wide. She looked the tom over again. "Rokkonen?" She asked, her claws sliding out slightly. "Looks who is still dirty, and even more stratched up, and you still have a head full of Kitty Litter I supsect." She said before looking at Munkustrap. "Sadly, yes." She said with a sigh. She looked down at her paws after he made the playboy comment. Damnit. Then she looked up at him with a bright smile. "I have no idea what you are talking about." She said.

"Bet...ter?" Munkustrap looked between Rokkonen and Selina, trying to see if there was a family resemblance. Was Selina Bomba's niece?
Tumblebrutus hissed and jumped back when he nearly ran into Rokkonen, also on the hunt, his fur sponging up for the second time that night. "Hey, watch it! Who... who are you?" He hissed again, unsheathing his claws. Unlike Munkustrap, he didn't recognize Rokkonen at all, as the older cat had left when he was still a baby.

Selina looked at Munkustrap who was looking at her. "What are you looking at." She said with a grunt. "I barely knew the guy!" She added and looked over at Burelle to check if she was going to come to her rescue.

"He's a street cat, darling, he's not her father," Burelle said, answering the question that was on Ritzkin's mind and face. "Selina, this is the best time for you to take a bath, right after you wake up. You could choose to take it before you go to bed, but you might be too tired some days and forget." She began grooming her own red fur to set a good example for the white queen.

"Hey, hey, calm down, bud," Rokkonen said. "I'm an old friend-- Munk said I could stay the winter. I'm Bomba's brother." He looked him over. "Plato?" he ventured, trying to guess his name. "Mungo? Admetus?"

Tumble tried to calm down, but after waking up next to a Pollicle, his nerves were pretty shot for the night. He did sheathe his claws again, but his fur was still mostly on end. "Tumblebrutus," he said. If this cat knew his brothers, as well as other cats... well, he probably was telling the truth. He smelled a bit like the piano too, the mix of all the cats together, which meant that Munkustrap probably certainly knew about him. "Plato, Alonzo, and Admetus are my brothers."

Selina was realived that Burelle did come to her rescue. She nodded her head and started licking her paws, which is where she decided she should started bathing herself. "So bathing is a daily thing?" She asked a bit annoyed that she would have to set time out everyday to give herself a bath.

"Pretty much," Burelle said, rubbing her paw over her ears. "You'll have an easier time of it, because your fur is so short, but you'll also have a harder time because it's white, and therefore, everything shows. If you keep up your baths, though, you shouldn't ever get another knot in your fur." She wrinkled her nose as she flicked her tail around, working out a knot with her claws. "I, on the other hand, can get knotted just by sitting down."
Munkustrap nudged Bomba. "Hey... would you like to go for a walk with me?" There was something he needed to tell her, before he talked to anyone else.
