[Cheria usually doesn't mind the more creepy animals like spiders and such, but rats? This one has a disgusting sheen on its matted fur, like it just took a swim in the river. So unkempt and possibly diseased...!
The rat comes to a halt before her and sits up on its hind legs, looking up at her almost hopefully. It wants to be held and petted, just like the rabbit in Cheria's arms. Of course, our Princess fails to comprehend this and takes a few steps backwards. Meanwhile, all the other forest critters are sure to keep their distance from the rat as well.]

S-shoo! Shoo!
