She raised both at them simultaneously. "Although I'm sure there's rats somewhere in the castle. They were on the list when I first got my letter," mused Patterson as she stood up and wiped the grime her hands had collected from sweeping the floor under the armchair on her school robes. "Guess they're not very popular, though. They don't make very fancy pets."
Orabelle made sure she didn't lower her feet onto the ground. The rat might try to eat her shoes or something and she loved her lovely Valentino heels. And if not, the pesky little rodent might try to eat
her instead and Orabelle was worth a
lot more than that.
The girl said ferret like it was any better than a rat. Which it wasn't. They were both... furry and... weird. And
"Rats... in the... castle?" Orabelle said slowly, just to make sure the girl was speaking proper English. Or just speaking in general. Orabelle
knew there was something wrong with this school! And there being
rats just proved it.
Orabelle watched the girl wipe her hands on her robes and grimaced. Uhm... hello, dirty? The girl could at least like... wash her hands, right?
"I can tell," she said as she glanced back at the ferret and then the girl's hands.
