Exasperation has a curious effect on the squeaky rodent-voice, even when Chrrou doesn't have any specific person to be riled up at. "Even asked where he was going? When he'd be back? ...Rrgh!" Obviously Chrrou's experiences are colored by his background; for rodents who live amongst predators, it's all but unthinkable to wander off alone as one pleases, or to let a friend do the same. Obviously, most dragons have nothing like a pressing need for such cautions.<br/><br/>Chrrou's eyes rarely miss much; catching Jess's gaze, he returns it blankly for a few seconds, but he can't so much as conceive of a response.
