Kato jaw dropped, his whole body sagging as his strength left him from sheer shock. He stared at the eloquent, speaking rat in shock and awe. Gregor was clearly a person who had gained rat features, but this... this was a bonafide talking animal.

[color=#00FFFF]"I was not prepared for today..."[/color] Kato finally broke free from his astonishment long enough to at least speak. First Sasha [i]almost [/i]breaking his curse, then a stone man offering him gold, then a girl fell from the sky, then a helicopter followed, and now a talking rat.

Then some sprout of a kid that made Kato look intimidating by comparison-. . .  OK, so maybe that wasn't possible, but regardless the small guy from earlier showed up, saying something about reporting them.

[color=#00FFFF]"Wh-what!? We didn't do anything! The helicopter fell on Gregor and I wasn't even here! Y-you were the one casting spells, maybe we should be reporting you!"[/color] Kato shot back. Somebody had just made the rat talk, and by process of elimination it must have been the little guy... probably. Kato hadn't arrived on the scene until almost everything was over. Well, even so, someone had to help the pilot, and if that got kept them out of trouble then all the better. [color=#00FFFF]"Err... b-but maybe you should still help, Gregor, j-just to be safe."[/color]

Unfortunately during the day, Kato was about as useful as a paper mache hammer...
