The streets were always cold at night, and there was always other animals walking around, shadey people, potential anomalys, it was scary that was for sure, if you aren't careful you could easily find yourself running to the animal hospital in need of urgent care. That was the state of the place at the moment.
You weren't out this late by choice, you just happened to have been out so long and now you were walking home, the busses were few and far between this late and nobody you knew was up to offer you a ride home. You found yourself walking past an alleyway but something had caught your eye making you double back a few paces.
There laying on an old thrown out matress lays a person, you approach slowly and it seems like they are a rat given the features and the fact he seems to be half your height, poor thing must not have a home.
Rathew sensed you approaching and jolted awake. Still shivering from the cold.
"... You're not here to cause me trouble are you?"
He asked, he glanced you up and down, he was wary living on the streets after all.
