''Hold on a second. That thing ate everything in the fridge!?'' Exclaimed Raoul with despite.
It has been tree hours since Francoeur began to explain to Raoul what happened the previous day and Raoul still had a hard time understanding one thing: How on earth was Rude supposed to be a cat when he was two, maybe three, times the size of an average cat.
On one hand Raoul understood quickly that most of what happened was Rude's fault and didn't got mad at Francoeur but on the other hand the conversation got deviated very often and that caused them to stay for a longer time.
Francoeur chirped frustrated and felt glad that Rude convinced him of going back to the house and have lunch before they visited Raoul. Otherwise they would be starving by now.
Francoeur decided to end everything so that they could return. He pointed towards the list in Raoul's hands and indicated to somewhere behind himself (referring to Lucille's house) and put his hand together as if to say please. Raoul understood what he meant and nodded in agreement.
''Don't worry I'll help, Lucille might kill us both if we don't try to fix this rude creature's mess.'' He said making emphasis in the last part while lookind angrily at Rude while the cat glared him back like it has been doing since Raoul first refered to it as a thing.
Francoeur pretended to crear his troath to ease the tension that had formed as the man and the cat kept staring fiersfully at each other, he then chirped a goodbye to Raoul and grabbed Rude while the cat kept staring at Raoul with chalenging eyes.
What would have happened if the two stayed in the same room for a bit longer? Francoeur did not want to know.
Once at home Francoeur tried to calm down Rude's sudden temper explotion.
It was clear that the cat was at the verge of snapping during its meeting with Raoul but Francoeur didn't though that Rude would cause such a tantrum.
''Rude thing?! RUDE THING?! Did you heard him?! I told you that you had to give me a new name! Rude thing! He's the rude thing treating me like a. . . Like a. . . Like a thing!'' Shouted Rude hysterically as he walked in circles in the living room, Francoeur was sitting on the couch with a cup of tea in his hands besides Jerry who decided to finally speak since they arrived.
''We're sure that he's just angry because we have little time left, because you do are rude sometimes but we guessed he's just in shock. It's like when you ate all the fish of that old fisherman who always gave the fish that he didn't need or like; we remmeber everything clearly, one day you got mad at him becaused he said you we're an ugly fat cat and while he has sleeping you took all the fish one by one, hid them and then ate them'' Siad Jerry happily.'' No doubt why you're so big and fat he he''
''Ha ha, how funny.'' Replied Rude with sarcasm '' And I am not fat!''
Francoeur chukled at Rude's reaction, he thought it was similar to what happened whenever Raoul called Emile a leprechaun.
''If I may say my opinion I don't think you're fat.'' Said Francoeur.
''Finally! You see Jerry, Francoeur understands what I say, he knows what I'm talking about, he's the someone I said that would understand I'm not fat, I told you someone would understand one day'' Interrupted Rude happy with Francoeur's words.
But then Francoeur finished what he wanted to say.
''You're just a bit chubby''
That phrase made Jerry giggle while it made Rude glare at Francoeur.
''Chubby? You think I'm chubby?!'' Exclaimed Rude as Jerry brust in laughs.'' Monseur Francoeur I am neither fat or chubby the problem is that we're still on early spring and I have yet to get reed of my winter coat, do you understand?''
Francoeur showed his hand defensively and apologized while Jerry kept laughing before falling from the couch, still laughing.
''Deer, you better bring him some water and calm him down, I think he's going to pee on himself if we don't do something'' Said Rude to Francoeur while he looked at Jerry. Francoeur nodded and brought some water in a plate for the, still laughing, orange cat.
After making Jerry calm down they all remained there and talked dfor a while about random things. When it became dinner time Francoeur moved to the kitchen and did some more cleaning before making dinner for everyone; it has been a good idea to buy some fish one the way back.
After dinner Francoeur went to his room and changed into his nightclothes then he layed in his bed as he chose not to lock the window this time. In the main time Rude and Jerry were in the living room talking as quietly as they could.
