Ivona was a fair bit surprised that Michelle wanted to see her wounds, but she still pulled up the hem of her skirt so Michelle could check them.

Michelle squatted down and carefully inspected the small wounds to check for poison. In the rats' mouths, she found glands right next to their teeth, which probably

contained poison, so she wanted to check Ivona for poisoning.

First, she checked the small wounds themselves before taking the pulse from Ivona's both legs to check for any differences. When that was the same, she took her pulse from her wrist, too, and only when that was the same did she relax.

"The rats have poison in their teeth?" Ivona wasn't stupid, so she could easily guess why Michelle was acting like that.

Michelle nodded a bit. "It seems they didn't poison you this time, but be careful next time!" she said as she stood up lazily.
