[Mat's been in town all day, but he's made his way back to the lobby after a rather successful day of gambling. He's in a pretty good mood, so he's softly singing an old drinking song under his breath as he heads for one of the couches, intending to count out his winnings before heading upstairs.]
My love is gone, carried away by the wind that shakes the willow~
[Meanwhile, a very scared Prickles the Hedgehog has been making its way invisibly around the castle. Now, settled on one of the couch cushions, it has just begun to calm its prickly little heart. As it calmed, its form began to appear, translucent against the couch. It is a matter of epic bad (or possibly good) luck that Prickles relaxes enough to become visible just as Mat is dropping down to sit on the cushion.]
and all the land is shaken hard by the GAH!
[there's a shout as Mat throws himself aside just in time, landing with a thud on the floor as the distraught hedgehog darts along the length of the couch. There's a bit of angry chittering and, just like that, the animal disappears once more, leaving the gambler to stare in shock]
What?! Blood and-
What in the Light was that?!
