Quaxo stared at Munkustrap for a moment, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
"Uhm... I'll do what I can to help." he said quietly. That explained what Jemima meant about three kittens 'going away'.
"How long have they been missing?"

"Since this morning," Munkustrap answered. "There are no unusual scents around. They were here." With his paw, he gestured to where the other kittens were, tightening his hold on Ariadne, who was cuddled against him. Quaxo would know (should pick up) that two of them were his kittens.

Rumpleteazer nodded her head. "An' they aint under anyones tails or noses." She said with a smile. Mungojerrie shook his head and sighed at his mate. (Brb, food.)

Quaxo nodded. It was Munkustrap's kittens that were missing? They would be young, how far could they go?
"I didn't see anything on my way here, but, like I said, I'll do what I can to help." he said, shifting uncomfortably.
"I'll take a look around, see what I can find." he added as he turned to walk out of the closet. At least if he went out to look for the kittens, he'd be able to get away from this conversation.

Now that he was away from the warming comfort of Cassandra, the black and white tom gave a shiver as he looked around for his brother. No doubt with all of the cats around, he would be trying to hide out of view. Word traveled fast. Faster when it was about such personal things. Following his nose, he was quick to find his brother laying beyond the train tracks, resting upon a luggage cart that waited to be loaded with the next train. Ducking low, Alonzo quickly dashed across the metal and wooden rails and approached the younger tom. “Tumble…?”

Pounce looked up as Electra joined them. He nodded, still feeling terrible that he hadn't found them. "Thank you, Jelly. . . But. . . Where are they? Who could've taken kittens?" He pouted, growling and kicking at the floor.

Tumble lifted his head just a little, glancing over his tail with his sad brown eyes. "He's here," he said, though it was unnecessary. With the way Alonzo had called for him, he was probably coming to find him after seeing Quaxo himself. "And I was almost an idiot again. I almost went after him. Almost threw myself at him like a fool."

“Its to be expected…you thought he loved you. Anyone would run back to that…” Alonzo said in a soft voice. He really didn’t know how to comfort his brother, but he was going to try. Stepping up beside him, the tom rested down, his chin upon the smaller ones back. “But I’m here now..so don’t worry….he wont be coming around here…if he is smart that is…”

Quaxo made his way through the train station, dodging humans as he went. He was looking for the kittens, it was as good a way as any to distract him from his troubling thoughts.
He thought about what he'd been told about the kittens, since he'd never met two of them. Alicia, she was grey and white, and Apollinax - who apparently looked like Macavity. That was interesting, Quaxo thought to himself. He wandered around, looking out for any sign of kittens, or what might have happened to them.

Tumble sighed, closing his eyes again as Alonzo put his chin on his back. "I can't hide from him forever, but I want to," he said quietly. "I don't ever, ever want to see him again... but I do, too."

A groan left the toms lips and he tucked his head into his brother fur even more. At every passing word, the urge to find the Tuxedo cat and slaughter him grew and grew. But then he wouldn’t be any better then the Pirates or Macavitys lot. “You’ll get over it Tumble…just don’t think about him….” If it was only that easy.

"How can I not?" Tumble asked, burrowing closer to his brother. "Every time I close my eyes, I see him, I feel him, I remember every moment..." And he fell quiet, blushing faintly, remembering what some of those moments entailed. Quaxo had been his first lover. His only lover. A very passionate lover... but distant. Always thinking of Munkustrap, Tumble knew. He sighed, covering his eyes with his paws. He couldn't blame Munkus for this, though. He loved Munkus like a father. Unfortunately for him, his lover loved Munkus too... but most certainly not like a father.

Quaxo had looked in many parts of the station, and he had found nothing. He hadn't expected to find much, since no-one else had, and he was really just glad for an excuse to get away from Munkustrap. It was too awkward being around him right now.
He kept looking though, heading for the quieter parts of the station, where there were less people, and hopefully less cats as well. He spotted a pair of cats sitting on a luggage cart, and he was pretty sure that was Alonzo, and Tumble. Considering Alonzo's earlier behaviour, Quaxo decided the best course of action was to turn tail and get out of the way, as quickly as he could. That's precisely what he did.

Skimbleshanks sighed as he gazed at Alonzo and Tumble sitting together on the luggage cart. He knew Tumble was upset about something - the young tom certainly wasn't bothering to hide it - but he didn't know what it was. He had been at the train station the entire time, and so had missed out on any events that had transpired in the junkyard.
He frowned as he noted Quaxo gaze at the pair, then turn away quickly. Perhaps it was something to do with him? But he and Tumble were best friends ... weren't they? Shaking his head, the Railway Cat approached his two sons and sat down beside them. "Tumble, Alonzo ... everything okay?"

Tumble curled up even tighter when he heard his father's voice. Skimble hadn't raised him much, since he was always off on the trains, but he had been home enough for Tumble to love him. "No," he muttered, squeezing his eyes shut and trying to make himself as small as possible. He didn't say anything more, though, hoping that Alonzo would talk for him.
