Stitches was in obvious distress due to the Bunglehoppers' absence. Toz placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Let's go look for them. Stitches and I will go look for the Bunglehoppers. The five of you can do what you want as long as you stay out of trouble and stick together."
Toz didn't see a reason why they should all stay together when the cats were itching to go explore the city. Not to mention how it would be easier to gather information if they spread out.
Stitches started leading Toz around the narrow and convoluted streets built on top of the roofs of buildings beneath their feet. There was surprisingly little trash and littered garbage around, but Toz's attention was more focused on the hostile glances the inhabitants gave him and Stitches. Few people walked around in the streets, and most of the looks came from gaps between shutters and behind corners.
