Jude trotted through the twolegplace, not exactly sure what he was doing there. Part of him wanted to find Thomas and shred him, though he knew how mad Natalia would be. 'Maybe I can find Ginger and ask her about what happened.'

He sniffed the air for any sign of her, though instead he caught the scent of a different cat. One that was really close, too. "Hey."

[Autumn]

Autumn was exploring.

She wanted to see more of the streets of the Twolegplace but then the young light brown tabby she-cat caught a cat scent, an unfalimular one. Autumn froze and stared at the golden-brown tom that was near her. 'He's probably another wildcat.' "Your another one of those wildcats." The light brown tabby kittypet whimpered.

[Deleted]

Jude flicked an ear, frowning slightly at her whimper. "Yeah, I guess so." He slowly padded closer before stopping again, now able to get a good look at her. She looked a little frazzled. "I'm not gonna hurt you, if you're worried about that." He said quietly, remembering his encounter with Ginger. Hopefully this would be a little different.

[Autumn]

Autumn still did not really want to trust the tom just yet. "B-but wildcats fight each other and like to harm others." The light brown tabby stammered. "I've heard that wildcat's like you eat house cats for lunch." Autumn murmured before looking up at the tom. 'Is he going to attack me.' The light brown tabby kittypet thought before. "Please stay away from me." Autumn whimpered again.

Jude sighed and shook his head. "And kittypets are fat and lazy. I don't think it's fair to base someone off of a stereotype." He blinked, expression of utter confusion blatant when she went on. 'What kind of rumor is that?' He opened his mouth to respond, but was cut off by yet another whimper. Jude took a step back. "I'm sorry, miss. I swear I'm not going to even touch you."

[Autumn]

Autumn stared at him with amber eyes. "Not all kittypets are fat and lazy." The light brown tabby kittypet muttered before twitching her tail. Autumn let out a sigh of relief when the other cat said he would not touch her. 'How can I be sure that this cat won't hurt me.' The light brown tabby thought. "Good wildcats probably have fleas."

[Deleted]

Jude huffed. He could tell already that he'd be getting nowhere with this cat. "Thanks." He said flatly, taking a glance around. "Have you seen this cat named Ginger anywhere? I need to see her." He turned back to Autumn, having a sliver of hope that she'd help him out.

[Autumn]

Autumn stared at him.

"Is she pale ginger?" The light brown tabby kittypet asked. Autumn had met a pale ginger and white kittypet a few days ago. "Why do you want to go see her. Are you going to hurt her?" The light brown tabby asked, amber eyes full of terror.

[Deleted]

"Yeah. White, too." He stared right back at her, huffing as she once again looked terrified. "I'm not going to hurt her. I just want to talk." He doubted that sounded convincing, even though it was the truth. Jude tilted his head. "Why do you think I'm out to harm others?"

[Autumn]

Autumn stared at him. 

"If you really want to know. She lives across the street." The light brown tabby murmured before backing up. "B-b-because that's what wildcats do. They fight for territory and food." Autumn spoke.

[Deleted]

"Thank you." He narrowed his eyes when she backed up. "Now why would I fight anyone in the twolegplace for those reasons?"

[Autumn]

Autumn shivered.

"Because you might have some enemies or some of the cats hear might have wandered into your territory." She murmured 

[Deleted]

"Okay, sure. But I'm not gonna fight you because of that." Jude said with a frown. 'I bet she's one of those kittypets who have a fear of rogues. That's so dumb.'
