The girl sat there listening to Varma go on, though her eyebrow arched at the way the woman said ‘our own advantage’. Maybe the Hoods had ears in the classroom so Varma had to make it seem as though she was on their side. Anyway. The good thing was that they were moving on.

So that’s what it had been! Colour Claudine intrigued and excited. Just think! She’d be able to hear Samm’s thoughts! Level of bond and trustworthiness? Claudine and Samm had plenty of that going on between them.
She got right down to work by petting Samm on the nosey. The rat had always liked that and he still did. See how he squeaked and sniffed at her finger? His front paws grabbed said finger which made Claudine giggle. Animals always made her so happy. “You hungry, buddy? Here. I’ve got some treats for you.” She always kept a packet of treats for him in her bag which she retrieved. It was a packet of dead flies which Samm loved to eat. The proof was that he was currently gobbling up a few. |
