Dusk Meeting (Cassius and Paige)

[delorium]

PAIGE

The white and brown queen walked down the street, her eyes darting everywhere in the manner they often did. Why am I even here? she asked herself in her head. She didn't even need to think very hard to come up with an answer. She needed to get out of the warehouse, and she needed to see that tom again. The tom didn't sweep Paige off her feet, she was just extremely curious and wanted to know why a Jellicle would wander far from the yard in the first place.There was no gauruntee that the tom would even come back, he certainly hadn't said anything to that effect, but there was something in his eyes that told Paige that he was curious about her as well.The tall queen stopped, not wanting to get to close to the junkyard, despite her curiosity, she still wasn't stupid enough to go galivanting into enemy territory. If all else fails, at least I get to watch the sun set, the young queen thought, leaning her back on the side of a building to watch the sun slowly descend.

CASSIUS

While trotting back into the town in the early night wasn't the smartest idea Cassius had ever had, it certainly seemed very important to him. After all, Callista had been complaining about losing.... something or other, he didn't even remember, and it was the chivalrous thing to follow their footsteps and look for it, wasn't it? The cats who said Cassius only thought about himself were wrong-- he did care about others. Argueably, though, he did only seem to care only when his report with them could be improved. So, because Callista was hot, he was out in the town, searching for something he couldn't remember.

"Well, shi--" he began, before stopping and cutting himself off. In the fading sunlight, he saw a white figure in the near distance. At first, his hair stood on end, sensing danger, but he quickly recognized her as the cat he'd seen earlier that day, with Callista, who was talking to Cenwig. "What are you doing here?" he asked, simply. No Jellicle was really accustomed to talking to strangers, and Cassius wasn't the most polite cat in the Junkyard, so his tone was on the rude side. Still, he remained relaxed as he inquired. This young queen didn't give him any reason for alarm, after all.

PAIGE

The white queen was brought back from her sky gazing when she heard a question come from her left. She turned her head, not changing her position. It was him. She almost couldn't beileve her eyes, maybe luck does exsist she thought. Paige was not very impressed with the tone of the young toms voice, it's almost like he was accusing her of something. She looked to her left and then her right before turning her head back to the tom and saying "Standing." She raised one of her eyebrows, a look of "what does it look like I'm doing?" spread across her face. She gazed at the tom, her large green eyes mainly focusing on the mask marking around his eyes. The white and brown queen didn't know what it was, but something about that mask caught her attention, and wouldn't let it go. She stopped staring to ask "What brings you out and about without your lady friend?" Under most circumstances, Paige would not be so inquisitive with someone she hardly knew, particularly about their love life, but it slipped out before she could stop it. She fought back a blush while waiting for the toms reply and reprimanding herself heavily in her head.
