Predators and Prey

Oh, hi again, my rodent pal! don't interfere. I know what I am doing. >:3
Heyo! How are you?
*discreetly grabs you by the ear and talks in a hushed voice*

I'm about to! You can't just force someone to be a rodent! It isn't right :/
I am doing exceptionally well this evening
That's awesome! I'm glad to hear that :D
*whispers in ear*
You're most likely right. Tis the price I pay for the alchemist's secrets.
Definitely the only reason I'm doing it. Yes sir.
*backs off and speaks loudly*
Thank you for the compliment. *stands on hind legs and bows*
*whispers*
So... you don't actually wanna be a rodent, then? Or do you? I'm so confused!
...
Tell you what, wink twice if you @metatherat is forcing you into this. Or, actually, say something about... buckets! Yeah! I'll get the hint :D

Good to hear! And I'll sense you right now! *climbs on top, smells fur*

*Watches thoughtfully*
*notices*
Hehehe... I thought holding a weapon would suck but not only are rat paws superior (as you mentioned earlier) to many others, but this weapon seems explicitly designed for our kind! Thanks again, @FlannelFox.

So there's two main things I'm working on here. Footwork (of the UTMOST importance in any duel for a multitude of reasons), and precision. For the former, quite frankly, rats aren't strictly bipedal. Luckily, I think I'm working out a little improv movement...
*grabs leaf, throws it into the wind, deftly dodges by utilizing three feet*
Not pretty, but I suspect any duelists at this size are going to have the same disadvantage. Worst case scenario I just drop my weapon and recover it seconds later. Then there's precision.
*carves tiny hexagon into nearby tree, sword whistling in the wind*
Wow. First try
Finesse allows you to wield with the incredible power AND speed needed to break through both a tree's exterior and a foe's defense. Of course, I have to relearn everything, new limbs and such, but—
Oh gosh I'm sorry I'm a bit of a dueling nerd you probably don't care about any of this it's just so easy to start narrating and i'll just shut up now

I'm just as confused as you are!

No, it's alright. You don't have to stop doing stuff you've done before just because you've been rattified. In fact, rats can do whatever they want. :3
I'm just as confused as you are!
*ears prick up* hehehe

Phew! Good :D
No, no! He's into it, I can tell! He just needs a little help getting over his worries and hangups, that's all! :3
*gently lets go of your ear*
If you say so! I wonder if he'd say the same thing, though :rolleyes:
Rodents already have a bad enough reputation as it is, so let's not worsen it, alrighty? You aren't the only rodent that'll have to live with a bad rep :p

Well, just ask him directly if you are worried! I mean, you already did, but ask again later! I know he will be happy as a rat, I know it...

I intend to, buster! And if he says the contrary, expect some magic, albeit poorly performed, to come your way ;)
Err... no pressure :p
 
I drank coffee with a power engineer, and now I am casting beds, on one of which I will lie, and will not fall asleep until 6 AM, blyat.

OK, that's fair! And now, let's nuzzle. *nuzzles*
*quickly dodges the nuzzle*
How do I know that you don't have rat transformation potion that works on contact on your nose?! Sorry, but I have to be cautious. As a fellow rodent, I'm sure you understand ;)

What?! I don't have any potion on my nose! It would interfere with my sense of smell!
Wow. Maybe I should be a little less underpawed. I don't want to be so suspicious that fellow rodents won't even nuzzle me...:(
