Morph walked down the street, humming quietly. There had been no luck finding Hermes yet, but he wasn't that worried. He appreciated the fact that Belle was helping to try to find Hermes. Honestly, he expected her to find him before he did, seeing as she knew him better and had a better understanding of the area then Morph did. It was around lunch time, or so his stomach was informing him. Chuckling, he pulled an apple out of an outer pocket on his guitar case and moved to sit under a tree. Taking off his guitar, he sat down; legs sprawled out in front of him.

Orpheus lumbered along, slightly upset that he had lost the vehicle he was following that had been blasting that awesome music. It was such a different style than he was used to, and he loved it. By now he had wandered far from home, without even realizing it. But he had become so bored living the life he had been, he wasn't really concerned with getting back any time soon. He kept walking until he noticed another cat, holding something familiar. His eyes lit up, as his ears perked forward. Was it? Could it be? Another cat! And he was holding a guitar! Right away, he bounded over, without stopping to consider that he might be interrupting someone's private time. He had never really met any other cats, and was a little excited that this one showed an interest in music. He offered a greeting as he came to a halt near the new face. "H-Hello!"

Morph looked up from his apple. He had been thinking about Ara, trying to imagine what she might be doing at that moment and hoping that she would be alright by herself for just a little longer. Looking up at the voice, he saw another cat and his immediate thought was Ara??. But he blinked and knew he was being silly. The toyger standing before him was colored as Dracal was, and was a male. Looking him up and down, Morph’s eyes took in the guitar pick on his blue collar. Curiosity piqued, he smiled back up at this stranger. “Hello.”

"Hi, my name is Orpheus. 'Master of Strings'," the toyger joked. "I was passing by, when I saw you and your guitar," he explained, his tail flipping back and forth with excitement. "I love music, especially rock. So you play? I just had to come and investigate." He gave a wide grin.
"My owner played classical. I got a little bored of it though, not that I don't like it, but ever since this car started to take a short-cut through our neighborhood ; well it was passing by again, and blasts some awesome riffs. So this time I followed." He looked back over his shoulder, "I lost them...but," He frowned momentarily. "This is even cooler. It lead me to you." He cocked his head to the side. "Are you a rockstar? I've only seen'm on TV." His eyes were a-gleam. Boy the toyger boy sure talked a lot.

Morph laughed at the toyger’s enthusiasm. He was a little surprised by the rush of information, but mostly by how amazingly similar their names were. He listened as the other cat spoke excitedly. “ Orpheus, huh? No, I’m not a rock star, but I do play guitar.” He zipped open his case and pulled it out, showing it to Orpheus. “ My name is Morpheus, by the way, but you can call me Morph if that helps.” He chuckled. “ It’s… really sort of freaky how similar our names are.” He joked. “ I’m the god of dreams. Nice to meet you, Master of strings.” He grinned and stood up, extending his hand. “ I like the guitar pick.” his guitar

"Whoa are names ARE super similar! How cool, God of Dreams," he grinned, and watched as Morpheus brought out his guitar. Orph's jaw dropped, "It's beautiful!" he exclaimed. He held out his paw in return, and shook Morpheus's hand. "Ha, thanks. My owner had good taste when it came to collars." He pawed at the guitar pick, and it swung back and forth. "I like it's color too. Almost like a Tigers Eye stone." He paused, "Hey...will you play me a song? Pretty please?"

Morph grinned. “You’re right, it does look like a Tigers Eye. Appropriate.” He chuckled. His smile widened at the request for music. “Sure, why not?” Settling the guitar on his lap, he thought about what he might play. Thinking back briefly, he remembered that Orpheus had followed the car because of the music it was playing and that he liked rock music most. Morph didn’t think the music he usually played counted much as rock, but he thought he’d try something in that direction, partially for the challenge, but mostly for fun. He started quietly, as he usually did, gathering his thoughts and humming quietly. After a while he started playing rather energetic riffs, grinning to himself. It sounded a bit more blues-y than rock, but it was one of his more energetic random songs. Finishing with a flourish, he made a little bow over his guitar and looked up at Orpheus.
(the song, sort of.)

"That was brilliant! Orpheus cheered, giving a round of applause. "You're really good. How long have you been playing? Did someone teach you or did you teach yourself? Do you play by ear or can you read music? Maybe both?" He paused, "...Heh, sorry so many questions. I guess I just get carried away when it comes to good tunes, and talent. And you've DEFINITELY got both." He grinned, blue eyes gleaming.

Morph laughed earnestly at Orpheus’s enthusiasm, taking another little bow. Smiling cheerfully, he stood up, thinking back to how he learned guitar. “Thanks! I’ve been playing… umm, for about three years, I’d say. My guardian got the guitar for me, but I pretty much just taught myself. I’ve never tried to read music, so I’m not sure if I can, but I can definitely play by ear.” He grinned again. Stowing his guitar back in the case, he set it against the tree behind him and addressed Orpheus. “Sooo, do you live around here, Orpheus? I’m looking for someone.”

"That's neat, how cool," Orpheus remarked, watching the other cat. When it came to his whereabouts though, he wasn't totally sure. "So you're looking for somebody? They wouldn't be in a ritzy neighborhood were they? That's where I live. I guess I kinda wandered pretty far. I'm not sure I know how to get back to tell ya the truth. Heh," he replied with a sweatdrop. "So... who exactly are you lookin' for?"

Morph chuckled a little. “That’s not good.” He commented mildly. “Well, I’m looking for my brother. His name is Hermes. I haven’t seen him in a long time, so I’m not entirely sure what he’d look like now, but he’d have red hair like mine and his fur is a bit sandier than mine.” Morph motioned to his head and then his ears in turn. “About not finding your way back home; do you want to go back?” Morph asked quietly. “I don’t mean to pry, I’m just curious.” He looked into Orpheus’s face and then down at the guitar pick on his collar.

"Hmm I haven't seen any cats like that," Orph replied. As to the question about his home, he thought long and hard about it. "Well....everything at home is always the same. The same routines, and no one is ever around to play with me. It's like, I'm just for show or something. It gets boring. So I guess I'm not really that enthused about going home. Hanging out here is more fun. After all, I met you already. And there's sure to be more cats to play with," Orph decided. "I can help you look for Hermes if you want instead. Or whatever else you wanna do."

Morph nodded. “Ah, well. I’ll find him eventually.” His brother was indeed proving elusive. Small wonder he hasn’t been found for so long. Morph chuckled to himself wryly. Shaking his head in amusement he looked back at Orph. “Makes sense. I'd probably leave, too, after to long of that." Morph thought for a moment "Well, I hadn’t really planned much for today, apart from looking some more a little later, I was about to eat and take a nap. I appreciate the offer, though.” Morph figured he’d look for Hermes some more in the afternoon. Today felt particularly unhurried to him, so he wasn’t in much of a rush to do anything. “You have any ideas for something to do? I’m up for most anything.” Morph smiled a little at the Toyger.

"Hmm well...we could...run around in the leaves?" After all, they were beginning to turn colors and fall from the trees. But Orph paused, "...or is that too childish?" He blushed. "Or if you wanted to play more songs, I'd love to listen. I can even sing a little," he offered. What else was fun to do? Swimming? But where would they do that? Suddenly his stomach growled, and it occurred to Orph what he wanted to do right now most of all. Eat. "Well....how about hunting down some food?"

Morph grinned, looking directly overhead at the leaves above him. “Nonsense. Age and maturity are only frames of mind.” Looking back down, he laughed as Orpheus’s stomach spoke up. He was really beginning to like the white toyger. “Well, it sounds like we have our plan right there. How’s this, a combined leaf run and food hunt. Going out and hunting something down sounds like a good.” Morph usually found his food in a more peaceful manner, but sometimes he liked the feeling of a hunt. And it would be a pretty good distraction at the moment, with not much else to do. “I have an apple here if you’re really hungry, Orph.” Slinging his guitar over his shoulder, Morph looked over into the surrounding trees. Glancing back at Orph, he asked curiously, “What sort of stuff do you like to sing?”
