�Corh sis that wos amazin,� said Madrigal when the trio had moved far enough away from the Ally.
�Don�t call me sis, yeh �is daughta an a idden paw, I�m noitha.� Came a spat reply as Rumpleteazer quickened her pace leaving Mungojerrie and Madrigal trailing behind.
�Ignore er,� said an awkward Mungojerrie. �She�s jus angree cos Macavity��
�Daid�
�Woteva, e don�t miss us or wont us back.�
�But, but I do.� Said Madrigal weakly. Mungojerrie didn�t know what to say. He shrugged and they carried on walking. �err, Jerry, ow�d you get ta be a Jellical?�

�Cool, listen Jerrie can I cam ta the ball tamorra? and if I do would that make me a Jellical?�

�ok Jerrie I�m foine wid that.� Jerrie turned his head away, indicating that the conversation was ended. They carried on walking in complete silence, Jerrie walking several paces away from Madrigal making her feel even more rejected.
