Leaning against the wall, Michelle heard the footsteps right behind a corner. With the group already so close, even Ivona could hear them. The sound of the small claws hitting the ground drew an enigmatic smile on Michelle's lips.

Just as she smiled, she heard something squeak beneath her, but she didn't open her eyes.

Ivona stared at one of the rats, the size of her foot, and frowned a bit. It did seem harmless, but after Michelle told her they were tricksters, she noticed some traits which peaceful creatures wouldn't have. Though looking cute and harmless, the rats had sharp claws, clearly for tearing, and the little teeth peeking out of their mouths were clearly fangs.
