Ruby's heart raced as she watched Mie interact with the rats from behind a crate. She had been searching the docks for random treasures when she came across the scene before her. Despite her usual bravado, a surge of nervous energy coursed through her veins and she couldn’t help but yelp loudly, revealing herself. Since she was revealed, she decided she could not hide no more.

With a shaky exhale, Ruby took a hesitant step forward, her hands trembling at her sides.  [color=C17ECE]"Um, hey,"[/color] she stammered. [color=C17ECE] "I-I didn't mean to interrupt or anything. Just, uh, thought I'd come say hi."[/color]

But as she drew closer, Ruby's pulse rose, her chest tightening with each passing moment. Panic was rising up inside her, threatening to spill over at any second.

And then it happened - a sudden burst of noise erupted from her lips, a wild scream tearing through the air. [color=C17ECE]"Aaaah!"[/color] Ruby cried out. She clapped a hand over her mouth, eyes wide with shock at her own outburst.

As she calmed down once more, Ruby's breaths came in ragged gasps. She forced herself to take a deep breath. Then she demanded, [color=C17ECE] “ …How do you make the rats dance! “[/color][/color]
