"What--EUAGH!" Landon yowled as the hot tea spattered all over his royal blue garments, causing him to jump out of his seat. He looked to Lilly in total bewilderment before noticing the rabid rodent skittering towards him from the bench, causing him to shriek in a pitch that almost matched the disguised noblewoman's. Reeling in horror he tripped over his chair, stumbling to the ground and scurrying away for his life, eventually taking refuge underneath a table in the corner where two crewmates were having breakfast. The crewmates looked down at Landon before glancing around, unsure of what was happening, as others in the room turned towards the commotion as well.

"T-There's a monstrous vermin there! S-Somebody quickly, get rid of it!" the frightened nobleman pointed towards his table, his finger trembling. His page soon rushed to his attendance, searching the nearby floors for the said creature.

One of the crewmates sitting at the table shrugged after a quick scan of the room. "I don't see no monster anywhere... all I see is a sissy hidin' under a table," he grinned as the room broke into laughter. Landon, still bewildered, looked to his page, who shook his head after being unable to locate the rodent. Hesitantly, the nobleman emerged from the table, red-faced and shocked as the sailors around the room continued to laugh.

"There was a gigantic rat coming after me!" he contested, which only made the laughter more raucous. Finally he stomped towards Lilly, angry and humiliated, still checking the floors vigorously for the threat. "[i]You[/i] saw it, didn't you!? The thing looked like it was diseased! Tell these [i]fools[/i] to stop laughing and [i]find it![/i]" he demanded of Lilly, huffing as he looked around contemptuously at the crewmates amused at his expense.
