Chapter 3: You Don't Trust Him, Do You?
Tanc and Leo glared at Rashkent shook the water off themselves, as the queens laughed. Lena's face had finally stopped turning red from Rashkent's wink,
"Mom," she said, still looking at the desert tom, "Can we show Rashkent around?" Nememer stared at her older sister flirting with the new tom,
'She's been hanging out with Auntie Bomb to much.'
"If Rashkent wants to," Demeter said, seeing Munkustrap nod, "It's fine with us." Lena didn't wait for Rashkent's answer, she was so excited that she grabbed his paw and pulled him off, the three other kittens following close behind.
Rash was taken by surprise, but ended up going with it. A few other cats were watching the kittens with the dashing newcomer, some of them looking interested. One in particular, a small flame-point magician watched them from her coffee can perch. Her smile was of the finest of queens, her fur, however, was more tom-ish and ruffled in appearance. Putting looks aside and turning to the handsome tuxedo cat beside her, of whom she wasn't paying any attention to, was the infamous Mister Mistoffelees.
"Trilly! Pay attention this time or I might disappear altogether," said the teacher.
"Huh? Do, but…alright," she stuttered. Trilliom tore her eyes from the other kittens and the new tom and looked back at Misto.
Lena and the others escorted Rashkent around the junkyard, introducing him to some of the cats. He met their flirty Auntie Bomb. They introduced him to the other Jellicles who were there that day, among them Vicki, Their older sister Jemmi, Alonzo, Jenny, Jelly, and a few others. Then Lena decided to introduce the tom to Misto and Trilly,
"And these two," Lena said gesturing at Misto and Trilly, "Are our resident magicians, Misto and Trilly."
Misto was just disappearing as they showed up, but Trilly was still there on her coffee can. Her greeting was a rather blank flash of her dark mahogany eyes toward them.
"Allo," she said, her voice trembling just slightly, the mental strain of restraining and using magic upon her. Misto was back before she could say anything else.
"Well…who do we have here?" he asked, stepping toward Rashkent. The sandy tom flipped his hair from his eyes and smiled at the magician.
"I'm Rashkent, but you can call me what you like," he said, adding a slight purr to his tone for the queens around him.
"Nice to meet you," said Misto, who nodded in approval, even though he felt something was…different about this tom.
Nememer noticed the slight change in Misto's expression,
'Something's wrong,' she thought. She didn't think anyone else had noticed. Lena was already dragging Rash off again. The gold and silver queen turned and yelled,
"Coming Nem!"
"No, I'll catch up later," she yelled back. She then turned to Trilly and Misto, "Trilly," she said, "Would you mind leaving? I need to talk to Misto privately."
Trilly gave her cousin a fquestioning look, but nodded and disappeared with a graceful wisp of red smoke. She reappeared across the junkyard, right next to an identical coffee can. Uninterested in anything they were saying, she slipped into a light catnap. Back across the yard, Misto awaited for what was so private Nem wanted to say.
"What is it Nem?" he asked. Rash followed the little queen, looking sort of like a pet as he walked behind her and slightly to her right.
Nem waited until she was sure Rash was out of earshot before she turned to Misto. She watched his expression carefully as she said,
"You don't trust him, do you? Rashkent, I mean." Her dark brown eyes searched his face and then met his emerald eyes. The way she stared at him you would think she had x-ray vision. She sat quietly, waiting for his answer.
