grizabella was healing better with the jellicles, her scar had faded more as it was finally given time to rest. she decided she’d go on her first walk around, her walk was still wobbly but she was getting better at getting around. when she spotted the suspicious looking tom she decided she had to investigate! she moved closer, quite slowly as her eyes stayed on him. "i’ve never seen you around, and i know the cats around here very well." grizabella simply said. working with macavity got you a lot of people to know, a lot of very suspicious looking toms, but she didn’t know this suspicious looking tom. she gave him a small grin as she spoke to him. she hadn’t talked to anyone who wasn’t a jellicle in a while, she always would back in the day, but she guessed it was nice to meet new people.

Growltiger glanced at her with his eye, once he got a good look at her he turned to speak. “Oh I’m sorry I’ve been trying to lay low for a while...I’m not really from around here.” Oh Everlasting she was beautiful, injured but that didn't make her any less gorgeous. “May I say you are the most beautiful cat I’ve laid my eyes on in a great while, you remind me of someone I used to know.”.

grizabella smiled at the taller cat. "oh, i could tell you weren’t from around here." she remarked and flushed when he complimented her. rolling her eyes with a smile on her face. "oh, i’m sure you say that to every queen you talk to." she insisted and held out her paw to offer a shake. "i’m grizabella, maybe it’s good that you’re not from around here." then he’d know who she was. she was talked about like a curse around here, no longer by the jellicles though, only the mystery cat and a few other street cats. "and . . maybe you’re handsome, haven’t decided yet." she joked, hoping he wouldn’t suddenly get a terrible ego.

. “Oh could you? How so? Is it the ear? I haven't seen any other cat around here with anything...missing.” He gives out a laugh “Oh but contraire, I only say that to the queens who truly look like a queen.” He says, he takes her paw and kisses it “It’s a pleasure meeting you Grizabella, My names Growltiger. Why is it good? I could have met you much sooner.” Of course you introduced her with you’re actual name Its not like you were so posted to be killed or anything he thought to himself. “Oh maybe?” he laughs “I’m kidding i understand I’m not as young as I used to be.”.

grizabella flushed at the kiss but let her eyes widen at his name, a grin forming on her face as she crossed her arms again. "growltiger? are you sure i’m not being tricked? everyone says you’re quite dead." she insisted, she heard the song many times, she remembered every word! she didn’t think he was actually real! that would mean all the cats from the story are real, and that was. a weird thought for grizabella. "i guess you are missing an ear, and the eyepatch." she pointed at it before raising her eyebrow at him. "can you prove it?" she pondered, she thought it was some silly joke, she loved the story when she heard it, from the jellicles during their ball, but this was all so strange for her. "i mean . . you do seem quite sweet, which i can remember." she acknowledged.

“Not at all dear, I did die though. I know you probably wont believe me but I came back, I was in a bright white space and told it wasn't my time and now im here.” Its been... a while since that all happened. Oh I can prove it alright!” He says before taking off his eye patch, showing the scar on his missing eye. He blushes a bit at her compliment “Why thank you! Of course I can say the same for you but sweet would be an understatement you are being unbelievably kind, a few of the locals have been very rude.”.

grizabella took a good look at his eye and nodded. "i guess i believe you. quite a handsome scar on you." she complimented sweetly. "i have a scar, but it’s down my forehead." she moved her paw to point at it. it was a bad one but she was happy it was finally healing. "so . . you died but you came back? i . . i can say, strangely, i relate to that." she admitted with a small smile. "with jellicles . . i was up in the heaviside layer, but . . i came back down." she admitted with a small head tilt. "didn’t think i’d ever relate to a pirate. at least you’re a handsome pirate." she giggled lightly and gave him a small salute, just her joking around as her arms went to relax at her sides. he wasn’t quite the suspicious character in her mind anymore. simply a tom — older then her but, quite intriguing at the same time.

He give a smile at the compliment and looks at her scar, It looks new and pretty bad but healed well. “Really? I’ve never met anyone who went though the same thing..” Another compliment? This honestly hasn't happened since he was with Griddlebone. He gave out a hearty laugh and gave a playful salute back “Well thank you. You truly are beautiful, in personality and looks.” She was younger than him, how many years he couldn't tell but it couldn't be too much younger.

"oh, hush, you might charm me." she giggled, she felt like a kitten, all flushed and grinning. "i’m not truly used to being so happy. i feel like my luck is just adding up, i’ll have you to blame for that. compliments from such a handsome tom. haven’t had that in so long." since most toms avoided her, found her repulsive, she had a past to her. "most hiss my name." she admitted, she was seen as too old for her age, and used up. she truly wanted to find something, something more to hold onto, and growltiger peaked her interest and made her feel more loved then she had in a long time, and they hadn’t even been talking for too long. "i can reveal something’s of myself, i’m a jellicle cat. telling cats that, they always think i’m strange." she chuckled at the thought.

Growltiger is grinning from ear to ear and gives out a laugh “Well I guess I have to say the same thing about myself, its been a long while sense anything good has come my way but I’m sure as hell glad you’re here” He isn't going to tell her of course, but he already feels something. He knows he feels something which, honestly is very typical of him hes always been the type to fall hard and fast. “They hiss your name? Why would they hiss the name of the most beautiful queen in England? Oh! Whats that like, being a jellicle cat?”

"oh that’s quite a long story . . it involves a cat around here. i should inform you to stay away from the mystery cat . . macavity." she simply uttered. she wouldn’t explain further but the cat gave growltiger a smile as she thought of a way to explain the jellicles. through the deep flush on her face — she was distracted. "being a jellicle cat? oh . . well . . i can say it’s quite magical. we have a ball every year, usually a cat is offered to the heaviside layer . . for a new life. it was supposed to be me, you see. i didn’t go." she sighed. "i saw it but . . i wanted more time. i ran off, the jellicles didn’t quite like me, since i had left a while ago, but, i found a family there again. taking care of two kittens now, and i’ve practically gotten adopted myself." she laughed as she explained. she thought it was quite silly but . . home.

“By any chance is he ginger? If he is hes only spoken to be once.A real git that one, ugly little fucker too. Oh I’m sorry pardon my language.” Hes really not used to taking to anyone but himself for the last few years, well except for this one very old tom in the back of the pub hes one of the only nice toms hes talked to. “Wow, that honestly sounds wonderful, I had something like that on the barge.” She has kittens? Of course he would never admit it to himself but hes always wanted kits, it was awfully hard to on the barge but him and Griddebone wanted to but... Never really got to it. “Kits?! That’s great! I hope they’re no trouble!”

"he’s got bright red hair, you can see his bones." she laughed along with him. she’d never admit that macavity’s brother was . . well, her own son. it was a strange concept for her still, but she gave growltiger a smile. "oh, the kittens are wonderful! and sweet, pouncival and tumblebrutus." she giggled, oh she loved having a family! she had dreamed of it for so long. "they argue plenty, they are brothers, but they’re incredibly sweet, and they love to cuddle." she laughed again. "never thought a pirate would be so excited about kittens! how sweet." she laughed and grabbed one of his paws lightly. "are you truly just a charming sweetheart? they don’t leave it out of your story."

"Tumblebrutus?! Small world, I had a ship mate named tumblebrutus!" He hasn't heard that name in what seemed like forever "They sound wonderful!" they truly did, there's something so wonderful about kits. They don't have to worry, they don't have to care, He wishes he could go back to his younger days. Growltiger laughs "The barge was lonely sometimes, I've always wished I've gotten around to having kits." He's very flustered but is trying to hold his composure, he lightly holds her paw back, trying not to grab too hard because he really doesn't want to hurt her. "I'm sure they won't leave how lovely you truly are out of your story too."
