YOU CAN SET YOURSELF ON FIRE ☆ rat "attack"

[michael t.]

When Michael had originally started thrashing about, desperately calling out for help from any sort of source to get away from the rats currently assaulting him, he certainly hadn't been looking for people to make fun of his unfortunate situation. Sadly, the thief had managed to attract over the two people who were probably the most likely in the world to do so, as demonstrated by their words immediately after coming over. At the very least, Roxie was able to get the attention of the rats long enough for him to push himself up into a sitting position, letting out a gruff little huff from the back of his throat. Taking the bag back when it was passed over to him, he quickly tossed a few more puffs out, just to keep the rats away as he mumbled, "I didn't think they would just attack me like that! I thought we were formin' a bond." An expression somewhat akin to a frustrated pout came to his muzzle as he glanced around at the rats, most of whom were still staring up at him in fascination while also glancing at Roxie and Octane – whom the fugitive fixed with a hard glare when he remembered his little mocking comment. Not feeling especially hungry anymore, the bobcat tossed the bag of puffs straight at Octane's mask, watching as the rats swarmed him instead.

Turning his attention back to his sister, who had immediately latched back onto Princess the moment she had seen her, Michael found himself chuckling softly. He mumbled as he shook his head, the smile on his face accompanied by a thorough shaking out of his ruffled pelt, "I still don't know if she's actually pregnant or not. She does keep gettin' bigger though, so it seems like it. I even set up a little neat for her to give birth in." He knew how excited Roxie was for Princess to finally deliver, considering she wanted someone to share in her experiences with, and also just wanted to see the adorable tiny rat babies. Michael had to admit that, he too was extremely excited to see what the babies would look like, wondering which of his little gang of rats was the father to Princess's mother. Nearly all of the other rats were male, which meant that it could've been any one of them – or perhaps even a rat that had fled the house before he arrived.
