 TMM strode into the shop, Dulce right behind her. To her ebullience, she had work to do today. Two boys to try and pair. One was Dulce, who she had been working with for a while without luck, but the other was a stranger. Lirit. She had only heard of his predicament from her owner, and was given a brief list of traits and facts. Tough with so little to go on, but she liked the challenge.
She stopped and spotted Lirit first, then proceeded to gauge who else was present. Luckily, she recognized both of them. Aineen had apparently come earlier; she was well enough known and TMM had been considering the 'opposites attract' law between her and Dulce recently. Then there was Alex; she had only been heard about when she was trying to garner information about Lirit. A brief physical description and a sentence of personality was all she knew. Well... She had all the time in the world to try Aineen and Dulce. Let's see how he does with this one. Beckoning for him to come, they approached Alex. Dulce was a runt. He was the smallest one in the asylum they called a house. Yet, he entered the shop with a heart full of hope. Away from his frightening housemates, here he had a real chance for love. He knew TMM was helping another here; there he was. Lirit; was that his name? Never mind it; he cared little. His gaze flew to Aineen, and he smiled. She was something else... But he blinked back to reality with a nudge from TMM. They were walking towards another. Curiously, he studied her. She was rather cute, he could tell nothing else. Closing his eyes, he did his best to remember the coaching TMM had given him in the days past. Aineen had arrived early that day to go mingle with the locals. When she had entered, she found a bunch of lazy kitties playing simple games, content in their confinement. She immediately resolved to fix that, and fix it she did. She rounded up all willing to join and lead an expedition out into the lesser known areas of the city. It turned out to be quite the adventure, and the others, tired, left for their respective homes. She, though, happily returned to the shop, ready for more. When Dulce and TMM entered, she was licking her paws, preparing for a possible round two.

 Alex sighed. She she wanted a mate, but not this badly. Lirit was hopeless he was going to snoop down to this eventually, but dragging her into it? That was low. Two steps before she entered the shop she stopped moving. I bet I could make a run for it right now... she thought watching Lirit enter. She looked behind her, no one, then in front of her, Lirit staring right at her. She had missed her chance. She slid into the shop staring at the ground. Alex took a seat in the middle of the room, and started day dreaming. Her eyes shot open when she heard paw-steps. Two cats had neared her. One was a a girl and the other a boy. The girl was. . . Well green and white, and the boy was a nice brown-ish tan-ish color. Alex waited a few seconds, but couldn't stand the quiet. "Hello?" she asked to either one of them.  Lirit was mere inches away from Alex. He knew she didn't want to go, but it seem all the more reason to make her. He sped up when the shop was in sight. He needed to be there. He needed to be matched up. Lirit slowed down when he saw she stopped. He couldn't help but smile when he saw her plan leave her head. By the time this thing was over she would be thanking him. . . He just knew it. He padded into the shop and took a quick glance at everyone there. This was going to be a lot of fun, or a waste of time.

TMM allowed no chance for an awkward silence to develop; once there, it could be a difficult wall to overcome. "Hello! My name is TMM." Gesturing behind her with her tail, "This is--Hey!" She skittered off to the side as Aineen leapt down from the shelves, nearly landing upon her. "Aineen," she finished, despite that obviously not being who she was going to say. "who is leaving. Might you two be able to chit chat while I go take care of her...?" Giving the brown female a nudge with her head, the two left.
Dulce sat quietly in the back while TMM made the introductions, shyly sneaking looks at Alex. He had sat down, but when Aineen dropped from the sky, he sprung back almost instantaneously; he had to be fast in his litter. After watching the two leave with a mixture of sadness and relief, he turned to Alex. "Heheh... Sorry about that. Aineen's a bit of a... welll crazy. I'm Dulce." He smiled at her.
Aineen had finished cleaning. Officially, she took on the state called bored. Down below, she spotted a black and purple cat; maybe he would be enthralled. No doubt, TMM was going to involve her, so she may as well help out. Aiming specifically for the group, she bounded up and landed down in its midst. Perfect. TMM was surely surprised and maybe just a tad irritated, but as predicted, she was soon led away by the green cat and now they walked towards Lirit. Quietly, Aineen commented, "How convenient!" TMM just rolled her eyes. Unlike for Dulce, she needed no introductions from another; she could dot it herself. "Hello! I'm Ainnen. What's yours?"

Alex jumped when the cat fell from the sky, for she just couldn't help it. Once she recovered she put a huge smile on. Once she was told that her smile was her best quality, but when she heard it she took it as an insult. "If you didn't know I'm Alex," she said, "So you know that girl? Aineen?" Alex was horrible with names, thus she had to ask and had to keep repeating names in her head.
✧ ✧ ✧
Lirit took a seat near the middle of the room and just waited. No one neared him for a long time, but he didn’t mind. He drifted off into his own dream world, and couldn’t help but smile on the outside. Seconds before he was about to find somebody and talk to them a brown-ish red-ish cat approached him.
“I’m Lirit,” he said barely glancing at the cat named Aineen, but his actions differed greatly from his thoughts. Crap there’s a cute cat in front of me and I can’t even keep a conversation going?!
"How's has your day been going?" he asked deciding to go with the easy way into a lasting conversation.

Her job was finished, and she retreated to a high midpoint between the hopefuls from where she could watch. Both boys were talking with both girls; all she had to do now was wait and see how it went. The rest was all on them.
"It's nice to meet you Alex.." he said, glancing back at Aineen and Lirit. "Yeah, I do. She's one of my roommates. My owner picked her up off the street. She's a little rowdy sometimes, but she tells great stories about the stuff she's done. She's been to a lot of cool places." He smiled at Alex. Unlike Lirit, he wasn't freaking out inside. Constant attempts had gotten him almost comfortable with this situation, but in turn his hopes for success were on the decline.
"Tis a pleasure to meet you Lirit~" she purred, leaning back into an almost playful position as a sort of cat bow before laying down completely. "I'm Aineen, and my day's been wonderful. Just a little while ago, I came back from an adventure." Such an unassuming statement. She had found saying things like that made for good gauges of personality, depending on the reply she received and how it was given.

She glanced at back in that direction only to see that Lirit had choose to join the “rowdy” cat she had forgotten the name of. So she lived on the streets? . . I better find out if that's normal for them.“Were you always with your owner?” she asked craving information about him like she did for everyone, “You don't have to tell me if you don't want to!” she interjected realizing what she was thinking.
✧ ✧ ✧
Lirit let a grin come over the small smile he had cemented onto his face. He knew that he had to answer with a question. Why? Because if he didn't it wouldn't be his style. “Would it be an adventure even I could go on it?” he asked. Now he was smiling on the inside and the outside. His answer didn't sound nearly as senseless as he assumed it would.

He jumped a little when she suddenly seemed so distressed about her own curiosity, and quickly swooped in to soothe her fears. "No, no! I don't mind if you ask questions... Curiosity and cats are like mice and cheese." Slowly, almost tentatively, he laid himself down near her. "Yeah, my owner had me since I was a candy... I've always wondered if that's where my name came from." He let out a small, half-laugh, then looked with interest back at Alex. "What about you?"
She quirked an eyebrow at him. He may have thought it sounded fine, but the question certainly sounded odd to her. Nevertheless, she stayed smiling, and her tail waved back and forth, back and forth gently behind her. Cocking her head to the side slightly, she queried, "Dear boy, whatever do you mean? Are you suggesting you're not the type of person who can handle adventures? A house cat?"

Alex's smile faltered for not even a pure second. She noted at how he had changes positions, but she stayed in her stiff staus not wanting to shift the position.
“Me?” she asked for no reason, “No, I was with a different owner as a candy.” She didn't mind admitting that, but it didn't mean she liked the fact. She let the smile fall a bit not wanting to keep the grin on her face for nothing.
✧ ✧ ✧
Lirit laughed. Compared to his household he was the most adventurous! He was the first to talk to the vampire! He was the one to show her to her room. . . All Alone! He left the house daily without anyone knowing and with no idea of where he was going or how to get back! “Me?!” he asked after the laughter left the room, “Never! But what are you saying? That you're better than me?” Lirit had a knack for evading the conversation, but the real reason he said so was he could see if what he said got to her.
((I blame any misspellings on my friends computer!!!!!!))

"Were they a bad owner?" he asked, hush hush, like it was some sort of taboo subject. He knew it to be true of TMM's old owner: She, who had inspired the Matchmaker's passion, had ended up neglecting the kitty once she had been paired. Eventually, starved and loveless, TMM had to leave, abandoning her old home and name in search of a new one. His owner had picked her up and taken her home, gifted her with what she needed, and that was that. And yet... it still hurt TMM to think of that past life. So Dulce broached the subject with hesitation.
"Good to know! But no, not in the slightest~ Being adventurous makes you no better than anyone else. It simply makes you different. I, though, have found the majority of house cats bore me quickly. If you won't jump to what you can't see, then you're not for me." The catty smirk curled across her face seemed nearly permanent.

Alex's smile faulted again this time making it noticeable.
“A bad owner? Maybe. . . I try my best to avoid thinking about it, but in the end all I can think about was how pampered I was. . .” She then changed her tone dramatically, “They wanted me to be a show-cat, and when they found out I didn't have a perfect coat they sold me. . . They sold me to a random person. That person ended up selling me again and making a profit!” she was almost screaming, but wasn't yelling at Dulce. At least she wasn't trying to.
✧ ✧ ✧
Lirit realized there was only one way out of this long conversation. “You want to ditch this place and go get some snacks?” he new he sounded rash, but the day was going by and he needed to move. He couldn't stay still for long.“”

Dulce shrunk back, just a little bit; he couldn't help it. His ears fell; his paws tucked themselves away beneath him. His wide eyes were full of useless sympathy. Nevertheless, he spoke with sincerity, "I'm sorry to hear that... But at least you're in a good home now, right?"
For a fraction of a moment, her mind had to click, switching onto the new train of thought. It was hardly noticeable though; she had long ago trained herself to roll with the punches and she nodded. "I would love to~ Did you have a particular destination in mind?"

Alex came back to reality, and noticed that her voice was loud and more aggressive then it had been in a long time. She fixated her gaze onto the floor and stared at some dust letting the silent ring of other voices engulf her. Finally she answered in a tone barely above a whisper, “Yeah my owner is great now compared to my old ones.
“Enough about me,” Alex said getting louder and lifting her gaze to Dulce, “what do you like?”
✧ ✧ ✧
Lirit smiled. “Depends,” he said as he started walking to the front door. Sneaking out was the obvious route, but just walking out the front door where everyone could see him? It might seem stupid to some, but he always thought the best place to hide would be in plain sight. He sent a smile in her direction knowing that she probably wouldn't be there to see it. He knew she was probably behind him or somewhere else where he couldn't see her.
“”

Dulce smiled. "Maybe it's cliche... But I like sweets. And, on the subject of you..." His smile faded slightly, replaced with a sincerity, a wish for her to believe he wasn't just making things up. He meant what he said. "I don't know what your other owners were talking about. I think you have a nice coat."
Aineen had sidled up right next to him; when he turned to her, he found her face mere inched from his own. Clearly, she held no concept of personal space. "Depends? On? If you're just stalling for time, I know of a couple great places here and now~" She smiled. Her comment was intended merely as a tease, but that fact alone didn't necessarily make it false.
