[Through the haze of so much pouring rain, it will probably take Towa a moment to realize Everett has his own... fair amount of changes. The mist had gone a head and turned him into an absurdly handsome rat.

Is it strange, then, that's he's saving kittens and welcoming another cat into his home? He's not so unkind as to leave any of them out in the cold, that's for certain. The irony isn't lost on him, though.]

They are in need of shelter as much as you are, it seems! Know you are welcome over anytime, my dear. [he opens the door to his cottage and ushers her inside. The cottage is a tidy, cozy place, neatly decorated with rustic furniture. When the door opens, another creature rushed up to them, jumping upon Everett's legs excitedly; a white and yellow petal puppy.]

Down, Daisy, be polite. [he chides the little pup, though it doesn't do much to stop the dogs excited rushing about. Everett looking to Towa with a little laughter at how many animals he has about, including their own mysterious changes]

I'm taking in many the stray, if you could not tell. [many, many, many stray, when you count all the city rats he's been befriending.

They're luckily not inside his house. Only Clementine, his pet rat from home, is curled up on the overhang of the hearth. All manner of creatures are welcome in the Vaughan home.]
