Ricky darted through the Palace, he knew he could come around the back but there was some part of him that really did enjoy coming through the front, if only to prove he could. He scurried upstairs, smoothing his hair down and putting his hat back on before knocking on the office door.

Jones looked up at the knock on the door. "Come in," he yelled out, smoothing a paw down his curl and setting the plate of food he had been eating aside. His eating had only increased in the last day or so, after that bastard of an upstart Hollister had had the gall to try and actually kick him out.

The kit slipped into the office. "Ello, sir."

Jones glanced up, and tried to keep his expression of distaste off his face at the sight of the kit. "Ah, yes, Logan." He glanced down at his reports. "Did you have something for me then?"

"Wanted t' tell y' that I got those orders made f' you." He replied, trying to keep a sneer out of his voice and curb the urge to thumb his nose at the fat cat.

"Good, good," Jones said, nodding slightly. "And they all went off without any problems then?" He gave the kit a long look. "I would be loath for anything to happen that would disappoint my costumers."

"Everything's fine. They'll be delivered on time. Oh....there is one thin'..." Ricky hesitated. Maybe he shouldn't have said anything.

Jones' head came up at that. He watched the kit for a moment, giving him time to finish the sentence before finally saying, "And this one thing would be...?"

"There were some other cats buyin' for another big holiday thin'."

"Of course, I believe that Hollister fellow is throwing his own gala about the same time I am."

"They mentioned you were the cat's biggest rival." Ricky replied quietly.

Jones blinked at that, turning the sentence over in his mind. "Biggest rival?" he asked softly. "Biggest rival in what? Legitimate business or non?" He was not even talking to Logan anymore so much as thinking to himself. He glanced down at one of the papers in front of him, yet another report about the Hidden Paw encroaching on his territory.

Ricky shrugged at that. "Is there anythin' else, sir?"

Jones was brought out of his thoughts at that. "Hm. Oh, yes, I have some more reports I would like you to run out. The usual places, the usual cats and all that."

"Kay, got it." Once he'd gotten the reports the kit ducked out of the room, shuddering. He always felt so gross coming out of there. He slipped quietly down toward the main room.
