Wraen had been in the process of examining a particularly tempting mouse's nest, when a scream nearby got her scared, made her jump and the small rodent, who had been hiding just nearby and waiting for the opportunity to disappear in the little hole, took the moment of confusion and slid inside the nest. 

With the first fear shaken off and away, she looked around to seek the culprit and her eyes fell on a stocky, agouti pelted male, who was staring at her as if he had seen a monster. "What's wrong with you? Why are you screaming?" she asked, feeling a little annoyed by the other's lack of good manners.

When the guy did not reply, she decided that she did not want to either ask any more questions or spend more time in his presence. She turned around and went.
