Mice! Clive! There are mice...everywhere!

You should get a big dog.

I saw a dog last night who would fit that bill, but he seemed already...attached. Besides, the big ones hardly ever chase mice--ours never did. Terriers sometimes will, but they're shrill little beasts and I won't keep one.

But sometimes rats don't like it.

I'm Sirius Black.

That is true. A big dog would keep them away even if he didn't chase them himself.

Mrs. Clifton Roderick. A pleasure to meet you.

The mice will be gone tomorrow.

And I'm a pine marten. Or shaped like one, at least.

[riding_habit]

Yes, so I've been told. It's still unpleasant for everyone involved, I think.

Pine marten? Is that what you are? I couldn't tell--I do apologise for mistaking you.

Voice

[lyra_of_dust]

Yes... It's fine, it happens quite a bit.

If this does keep up, I shall have to ask if the Cheshire Cat's services extend to preying on these talking mice. Chatter is enough, but constantly....

[riding_habit]

You're the chatterer between the two of us, you know.

[camaraderies]

Oh, I'm aware, but that doesn't automatically ensure I enjoy others' chattering.

[riding_habit]

Hmm, now that is true.

It was recommended to me that we get a large dog to keep the mice away. We never did have much trouble with mice with all the dogs around, did we?

Since you brought it up, I'm speaking.

{Voice}

[riding_habit]

Oh!

...

Well, I don't think you're the dog I met last night, but...well, now I've truly a talking dog to add to the list. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Never met you before, so nope wasn't me yesterday.

[riding_habit]

I wonder what dog it could have been then.

Regardless, it's good to meet you. And if you can speak, I suppose you have a name? What ought I to call you?
