Victoria poised her white body, leaped from from the ledge gracefully. At that moment, she was so tempted to do a passe or a coupe pirouette or something like that, but she restrained herself. Not now. She landed swiftly on the floor and began to approach her friends, her blue eyes sparkling. It looked like a strange, strange gathering. She eyed the group. Mungojerrie had some obvious theft property in his hands, and Quaxo- or, should she say, Mr Mistoffelees had probably been out there to practice his magic. She crossed her paws together and put on her best Jennyanydot's attitude, which wasn't easy, since the queen was very shy around most. She bowed her head respectfully at Demeter and Cassandra. "Thank you! Is this a showcase of a sort, or.....?"
She turned to both toms."Hello Mungojerrie. Stealing without Rumpelteazer? And, I think I'll just have one piece, thanks.' Victoria cocked a curious eyebrow and turned to her best friend, attempting to keep her serious manner. She was saying Rumpelteazer's name too much, it made her look weird. But somehow, that feeling of butterflies in her stomach refused to go away. "Practicing after midnight? And you didn't tell me?" The cat meowed softly. She tried to resist a smile, but the corners of her mouth turned upwards, turning her delicate features from stern to relaxed. She couldn't be like that for a long time, and certainly not around Quaxo.

Quaxo nervously fidgetted with his ear as he faces Victoria shyly, hoping he had not hurt the queen he had secretly adored since they had first met. "Please forgive me Victoria, but I purposely did not inform you that I was planning to practice tonight for your own safety. It may have been a fluke that you were not injured by my magic last night." He said honestly as he looked at her softly. The more he had thought about it today the more foolish he felt about putting her in danger when his magic wasn't working so well.

A smile spread across Demeter's face reflexively. "I would hardly call that a fluke, Quaxo," she said gently. She had been impressed by how well his magic had worked the night before. So impressed that she'd all but forgotten how inexperienced he was with it. She glanced up at the moon and anxiety filled her heart. It had been at least an hour since she'd last checked on Electra. If anything had happened, she probably would have heard... Still, she could not shake the bad feeling in her gut.
"But, um." She smiled at the group to mask her worries. "I should get going. I do need my sleep." She didn't feel the need to mention how little she'd been sleeping lately. She did not want to have to deal with sympathy from any of the others, however well-intentioned. "Thank you for the mutton, Jerrie." With a final smile, she slipped back into the shadows and headed off to check on Electra once more.

the lovely brown queen thought that Quaxo and Victoria were simply adorable.
so she took Mungojerrie's arm and Cassandra looked at him shyly "would you be so kind as to escort me to my home?" she asked in a soft velvety voice. she hoped he would as he did cut a handsome figure.

Mungojerrie gave a small wave and a "goodnight" to Demeter as she left. "So then..." He was just turning back round to strike up a new topic of conversation with the others, when all of a sudden he felt Cassandra take his arm. He looked down at his arm, and then at her, eyes wide with surprise and mouth still hanging partway open. After a few seconds of staring like this, it occurred to him what a complete imbecile he must look. Clearing his throat, he responded, "Why o'course, be glad to escort a lady 'ome." He paused, glancing at Victoria and Quaxo. Wouldn't it be rude to leave right in the middle of the conversation? Suppose the two wanted some more mutton, or--? "Er...were ya wantin' to go righ' now?" he asked haltingly. First Demeter, now Cass suddenly wanting to leave? What was going on?

Victoria's eyes widened as she snapped her neck to look at the two cats, previously having her sight on Demeter's retreating silhouette. Leave? Now? Here? Oh Bast. She tensed. That was a little weird. The couldn't be leaving them alone on purpose? But it would be rude to insist on them staying. They might need sleep and this hour, and she couldn't deprive them of it. She cleared her throat and looked at her paws. "Um, okay. Goodnight Cass, Mungojerrie." She nodded to the pair. "Have a great night!" Victoria called and turned to the black-and-white tom. "So...." The white queen said awkwardly. Her heart was pumping in her chest. What to do.... She couldn't leave him, but staying might mean she would say something stupid due to nerves, and he could think she was crazy. Breathe, Vic, breathe. She calmed down. "What tricks are you planning on doing?"

Quaxo flushed embarrassed as the others go ready to leave, realizing he was going to be left alone with Victoria and he had to wonder if the Queens had picked up on his feelings for his best friend. He fidgeted nervously with his ear even more then before as he turned to look her. "V...Victoria, I was not planning to practice any certain tricks, only attempt to perfect my magic to respond better. You among the others most likely did not realize that only half of my bolts only worked. I could feel the power charge in my paws but it would not respond when I summoned it. It is why I find it so dange..." Suddenly Quaxo gasped as a sense of intense danger hit him like electric bolt hit him and he reached for Victoria's arm in protective manner without even thinking of what he was doing. "The Junkyard is being threatened! I do not know what but it feels large and terrible." he looked at her scared. He had never felt a presence this strong, not even with Macavity lurking.

Victoria jumped in shock. Danger. She alerted all her senses, but she couldn't smell or see anything. "Quaxo?" she asked cautiously. "Are you sure?" There was a look of fear in his eyes, and she knew that something was wrong. Her head darted around the yard. Nothing was in her line of sight. It had to be something dangerous. And clever. Dangerous and clever were the two worst combos. "Macavity's not there." The queen muttered. Her paws slipped from his grip and she grasped his hand. "Is it the street cat's again?" Her fur stood up and the thought of it. She prepared in a jumping position, ready to face an attack. "We should wake the others. Munkustrap needs to know." Victoria whispered.

Quaxo tried to quell the butterflies that fluttered in his stomach when she took his hand, thinking on his feelings was the last thing he needed to be focusing on. The Jellicles needed his power, this he knew and honestly deep down he felt it was his job to protect them. He knew he had to get over his fear of his power and do what was needed of him, but he didn't know if he could do it alone. He looked at Victoria seriously and held her paw tighter. "No Victoria, it would be to late. They need me now, well they need my power...I do not wish to put you in danger but perhaps Demeter was right, maybe some of my magic was not all a fluke at least when it involved...you." he felt his cheeks redden. "Will you join me?"
(Dodd and Eliaza, I know I am breaking my own rule of post order but I am just itching to get Quaxo into the Pollicle attack thread. Go ahead just pop in with your own leaving.)

Victoria nodded seriously. "Of course." What could be out there that scared him so much? But if her best friend needed her, she would join him no matter what. She would help in any way she could. And if she'd let him go without trying to protect him, and he'd gotten hurt, she would never forgive herself. She listed the number of possible threats. Macavity...Hidden Paw.....Growltiger........Pollicles.... She mused. The Jellicles needed them. And she would fight.

Quaxo felt a tiny bit of his fear be replaced with courage knowing the queen of all of his dreams was going to be by his side. "Thank you. Having you with me, means more then you know." He then did something that even surprised himself and lifted her paw to his lips, kissing it gently. He blushed deeper as he realized what he had done and swiftly yet gently began leading her to where he felt the sense the strongest, the gate.

a few minuets earlier....
Cassandra politely nodded to Victoria and curtsied to Quaxo, "Good evening to you both, may Mother Moon light your path!" she said in sooth velvety tone be fore gently leading Mungojerrie off.
"the path that I use is this way Jerrie," she said dipping her head demurely.
(EXIT Cassandra stage right, Eliza would you like to continue Cass and Jerries conversation in another thread?)

Victoria stomach was full of butterflies when Quaxo kissed her hand. She opened her mouth but no words would come out. Her nervousness was multiplied by tenfold, but she steeled her nerves. You have to go save the tribe, remember? "Thanks." She stammered. Victoria got a grip on herself, and let Quaxo guide her to the gate.

((oops! *rushes*))
Mungo took Cass's arm and went in the direction she indicated. He was still very confused as to what was going on, but who was he to refuse a lady an escort home? Queens...such a mystery.
