as the two toms made their way to the communal dining area, the massive tom sighed happily.
it was not that they missed meals, Macavity saw to it that the Henches were fed regularly from stores of purloined pet food but the best food was reserved for those who served him successfully and he had a real good meal waiting. Manfredd did not mind sharing with Tsume at all. despite the smaller Henches abrasive nature he did like the way the little guy stood up for himself.
"I think you're gonna like this T, it's a tasty fish that comes from a place in Americay
called Alaska. we nabbed a shipment the other day.' he said to Tsume conversationally.

Tsume didn't mind spending time with time with Manfred, the Tom gave him respect he felt he deserved, so small cat regarded him the same. Unfortunately many of the Hench cats didn't so they got his claws.
"Alaska? Never heard of it but I doubt it's better then the fish my old owner gave me, his was from his mum in Nihon, he always said. It was so good."Tsume said as he licked his lips.
(Nihon is what most Japanese call Japan.)

the massive tom nodded his block like head "had some that stuff they make with squid
once an that was pretty good," Manfredd said then he steamed past some of the other cats who were headed to where the kibble was doled out to the counter.
with a nod to the pretty queen serving he shyly said "Manfredd, Salmon." and was handed a plate with a healthy portion. "thank you," he said before heading back to Tsume.
Manfredd's rounded ears were perked as he arrived with a plate in his double paws on it was a slab of lightly seared pinkish white fish with a mouthwatering aroma.
as they moved to a place to sit an old gray queen went by in a dignified shuffle, it
was the card reader Bathsheba. she paused at the scent of fresh fish and young toms and shook her head. immediately noticeable was the sharp kink of a fresh break near the tip of her tail. before Manny could ask or offer her some of the fish she said in a soft raspy voice "not too close my boys,a reading did not turn out so well and the master was less than pleased and I would not want it to rub off on nice boys like you. the cards said there would be a death and there was, the policlle that was his pawn was put down after biting one of the humans that caught it and that was not what he had hoped for." then the old cat shuffled off to the kibble line. (EXIT Bathsheba)
"gee that's too bad, so where do you want to sit?"

Tsume's mouth watered at the sight of the salmon, maybe it would be as good as the fish he had eaten from Japan. the one thing he had missed from being a house cat was the food, the kibble they got daily was far from really satisfying to the fickle Tom. He was momentarily distracted though by mysterious old Queen who approached them and he gladly stepped back from her warily. Honestly the Queen creeped the young Tom out, he didn't believe any of mumble jumble she spoke of and he wondered if she was permanently sniffing the catnip Macavity provided them.
"Anywhere that batty Queen's not."

Manfredd cleared a spot by the door when one of the Henches in the crowed called "hey Manny you having diner with your boyfriend?". quiet dropped when the massive tom froze and slowly turned, "yeah I am. he's a boy and he's my Friend. you want to make something of it? between him and me you will be dog food, not braggin just speakin plain. now me I just want to eat." Manfredd said in a calm unhurried voice. the loudmouth suddenly found that everyone around him had taken two or three big steps back leaving him alone. he gave the two a panicked look.

Tsume glared at the offending Tom."Yeah sod off, baka. You're just jealous you aren't getting a piece of this action. But if you really want some, I will give you a taste, of these." He flashed his claws. He really just wanted to eat but he wasn't going to take a insult lightly either. That or insult to one of the Toms he actually respected which there wasn't many.

the erring Hench backpedaled practically scampering out of the dining area.
Manfredd sat down and sectioned off a generous portion for Tsume.
then he dug in to his own a look of contented bliss on his broad face.
after a few bites his brow furrowed with the unaccustomed effort of thinking.
"you know maybe we should ask the Boss if we should do something about this Baka family, I mean it must be pretty big since that's the third one to bother you in a week and the one before him was a Junk Yarder." Manfredd said to Tsume before taking another bite.

Tsume took a bite of the salmon, smile of pleasure hit his features at the delicious but as quick as it had, it disappeared with Manfred's words.
He glanced to where the Toms had scatter off to. "I dunno Man...look it's not like I can't handle them. I have been dealing with Tom's like them since I first took to the streets but..." He sighed, he wasn't the kind of cat to admit he needed help since he felt doing so just made him more pathetic then he felt being such a runt. The truth though was he would get his missions done more effectively he could keep the other Toms from pressing his buttons. "You don't think he's too busy though? I mean I been figuring after what happened at the Jellicle's ball, he'd be workin on some big plan or something."

the massive tom paused in his chewing then swallowed, his face brightening.
Manfredd nodded "you are right there," he said. "but then you're smart."
then he shrugged,"do you have anything going on later? I have a gate watch."
Manfredd said.

Tsume smiled at his what even though he may not call him so, friend at his compliment. He then took another bite of the salmon and shook his head at Manfred. "Nah, Boss hasn't gave me anything lately. I don't now why either." He shrugged slightly, trying to play it like it didn't bother him but honestly it did. When it came to all he encountered at the warehouse daily he respected Macavity the most and was most concerned about upsetting him then any other.

the massive tom flicked a rounded ear, "probably doesn't want to show those quick claws of yours too much if say Growltigers dockside bunch or the Siamese get upity, you know how the Boss likes to keep a surprise or three up his paw."
Manfredd said as he deftly sectioned the next piece flipping half onto Tsume's plate before munching his half. his tail twitched as he contentedly chewed.
" hey maybe the next time I go out you come along, you might be able to do something to get his notice hey?"

Tsume grinned at Manfred, liking the sound of maybe being one of Macavity's secret weapons. He had no idea if that was the real reason or not but he decided it could be right in his mind. "If that is right, maybe I better watch who I stick these in." he pulled out his claws slightly and chuckled. "Do you need help tonight maybe, I was just planning on prowling anyway."

the massive tom cocked his head to one side "it's likely to be pretty slow, I've got the three am to dawn shift watchin the gate. wouldn't mind the company." Manfredd said then his face brightened and he added "you could tell me about your evening prowl hey?"
then he finished his fish and slowly licked the plate.
(how much longer do you wish to go?)

(I don't really know, the only thing I want for Tsume is get a audience with Mac.)

(then why don't we let this fade to black then so you can start a thread that will get the boss's attention!)
