It was amazing. She had neer seen some many cats in her entire life. Suddenly, she felt very small.
Rows and rows of vendors piled together, with even more cats bustling between. It looked so very similar to when she first entired the Gypsy World, which was well over a moon ago.
A small she-cat, possibly 6, 7 moons old, stuck closely to the side of the Vending Rows. Her fur yellow/gold fur was died to a more honey-colored yellow, and she had bold ash-and-flamingo stripes along her back, with a pair of smallish gold hoops swinging from her ears. Tinsel had gotten used to her accesories, but it didn't feel..like her. She felt rather fake, but didn't think of saying hat in front of her nest friend Rar, who thought she looked fabulous.
Tinsel stared, her amber orbs wide as she looked about in awe. And then she hit a hard object infront of her. "Oh, I'm sorry." she oapoligised, looking to the tom she had hit.

Circean turned toward the she-cat that just ran into him with a friendly smile. "Eh, no problem, everyone gets caught up sometimes and don't watch where they're going" He replied dwith a chuckle to himself. Circean was about medium size maybe a little larger with broad shoulders, large paws, and a thick brown and white pelt. He was about 7 moons himself but had actually just recently arrived, like in the last week to the gypsies. They still fascinated him, especially the smiths. The young tom finally tore his gaze away from the smith's store and toward the exotic she-cat that was about his age. "I'm Circean and who might you be?" He asked with a polite dip of his head in greeting

The she-cat smiled apologetically. "My name's Tinsel. Sorry again for running into you. I wasn't paying attention." She paused to move aside as a busy tom hurried through. "So are you from the gypsies?"

"Not at all. I only just arrived about a week ago actually. I was a rogue at one time and then a loner for about a moon and then I heard of the gypsies and thought they sounded more interesting so here I am" Circean explained quickly, skipping over everything about his family and rogue-life. "How about you?" He asked... she certainlly looked like a gypsy but looks could be decieving

Tinsel shook her head. "I had never even heard if the Gypsies before a moon ago. I lived in the isolated barn with my brother and mother." She grinned. "This stuff makes me look like I've lived here all my life, though, which I guess is good."

Circean shrugged "It is very exotic" He decided with a grin. "Yeah, me and my siblings were pretty isolated ourselves in the rogues" He explained, noticing the several similarities between them and their families "So is your brother around her somewhere then?" Circean asked looking around as if she expected to see a young tom watching him closely for speaking with their beloved sister... or at least that would be what he would be doing if some random tom just started talking to Akira

"..No." Tinsel's face shrowded some with sorrow. "I was seperated with my brother when we were attacked bt dogs. I don't think I'll ever see him again.."

Circean's face fell slightly as well. "I'm very sorry, I lost my siblings as well." He replied sympathetically in an attempt to make her feel better, though.... he must admit that he wasn't very good with these emotional things. He laid his long tail across her shoulders in a friendly gesture of sympathy.

Tinsel smiled smally. "Seems we have a lot in common, then." she meowed after a moment, when he placed his tail across her shoulders. "Cats like us, against the world, it would seem."

Circean again shrugged "That is definetely one way to look at it. I prefer to just move on and do the best I can with what I'm given and enjoy the times I had with those that I loved" He mewed trying to make himself sound importatn... like one of those leadership speeches that you hear every now and then. No one could doubt the sincerity in it and how he truly seemed to miss his siblings that had so suddenly been taken from him but then again he seemed to look at the good stuff that happens vs. the bad

"But sometimes the time you have just isn't enough..." Tinsel trailed off, her eyes looking distracted by some thought or memory. She shook her head, snapping out of it, to smile back at Circean. "But you are right, Circean. It is best that we move on...but we'll never forget."

"No never forget, enjoy the memories you have but don't be selfish about not having them longer.... Anyways, changing subject, since you're not necessarily pure gypsy and all I'm guessing no family of yours is here so... if you don't mind me asking, where d'you stay most of the time?" The young tom asked his indigo colored eyes curious

"With my best friend Rar." Tinsel replied, looking her amber orbs back into his indigo ones. He had pretty eyes... "I met her when I first came here. I've stayed with her since, and her mother and her two little siblings, Pon and Zi. Her stepdad, Havok, comes around every once and a while, and he's kinda of scary-looking. What about you, Circean?"

Circean shrugged looking away from Tinsel and at all the surrounding cats... It sure was croweded here... "Eh, wherever I find room right now, maybe I'll find someplace permanent soon but I don't really care as long as it doesn't rain anyways" He explained again shrugging before he turned his eyes back to her.

"Oh..well.. You can stay with us, if you want. I'm sure Rar wouldn't mind." Tinsel offered, hoping he said yes. She didn't just want to meet a nice guy then never see him again. It would be nice if he stayed near them.

Circean looked uncertain "Maybe... I don't want to be a burden. Well, I'll see what it looks like" He mewed and then ammended quickly... Why not at least check the place out? Plus it looked to him like him and Tinsel would probably become good friends.

Tinsel smiled. "Great! Follow me." And she was off, almost dissappearing in the crowd.

Circean nodded and eagerly followed his new-found friend. He almost flipped when he lost sight of Tinsel but let out a quiet sigh of relief when his indigo eyes noticed her slipping in-between cats here and there. Circean picked up his pace as much as he could in the crowd to catch up to her.... It didn't work so well as he wasn't used to weaving in and around crowds. "You're goin' to have to slow down or take a less crowded street" He breathed focusing on not hitting anyone that would suddenly run across his path.

Tinsel flicked her tail to acknowledge Circean, veering off and getting to the outer fringes of the vendors. She didn't speak until she was clear of the crowds. "It's just over this way... Rar! You there Rar!?" she alled, taking a few sniffs about them. "No ones home..or her mothers asleep with the twins. But this is the place." Tinsel gestured to the den.

Circean looked around them looking for several good landmarks, worst case scenario would be that he didn't live here, but that he could find Tinsel here if he wanted to hang out... His indigo eyes flickered back to the den "It looks pretty big, how many live here?" He asked trying to think back to all the cats she'd mentioned and count them.

"Me, Killa, Rar, Pon, and Zi." Tinsel replied. "It is rather large inside, but I usually try to give the family some room and sleep outside. It doesn't rain here as much as it did back home.."

Circean shrugged "Well, we'll see I guess, I doubt they'd want to take in a another random tom that just happened to show up in the gypsies. Little she-cats I can see but a tom... eh.... not quite the same" He replied in an almost joking manner flashing a smile. "You sleep outside most of the time?" He then asked seeming slightly surprised

"Oh, I doubt that. Rar will absolutely love you. She's great." Then Tinsel cocked her head. "Yeah, I used to sleep outside with my brother all the time when I was younger."

"Hmmmmm..." He meowed going quiet in slight contemplation. Circean's indigo eyes flicker toward Tinself for a moment and then away as with a deep in thought look on his face. In the end he just shrugged to himself "Do you know many gypsies?" He asked suddenly in an almost hopeful manner.

"Gypsies? Not really. I do kinda know a Gypsy named Lump. She dyed my fur this way. Why?" Tinsel replied.
