Ember jolted at the commotion, stopping and whipping back toward the stocks of barrels.Lupin thumped down belowdecks, awkwardly peering around the barrel to try to see where she was headed. She set her load down, with a louder thump than she had meant, and a tiny squeak came from behind the supplies. No, two squeaks. She peered behind the stacks of supplies to find...
A rat.
The fattest, ugliest, hairiest rat Lupin had ever seen.
And a harpy.
But her eyes focused on the rat.
Her foot shot out, blocking the rat's escape. The rodent glared at her with beady eyes filled with resentment.
"Catch it! Kill it! Do something!" she yelped at the Harpy, blocking the rat's frenzied escape route. Before anyone could do anything, the rat had vanished into some unseen crack, gone.
Lupin sighed. "Do you have a cat? Or will we have to go chase it?"
Lacy Duckwing, -Shade-
Flames and Feathers.
Just as she was starting to think the crew had some decency.
Screeching over a rodent.
