(Sorry for the delay, work has been kicking my ass.)<br/><br/>[CC Command: Good Day, Your Majesty!]<br/><br/>Despite the apparent excitement of you mount, you can't help but notice that the female Dire Dog is stepping backwards. You haven't seen what your pets can do in combat, but you can easily guess the amount of damage a giant rat could do to both you and them. And the smell is beginning to make your stomach churn.<br/><br/>So, you decide to do the only thing that has worked for you so far, and screech loudly right back at the surprised Rat-Queen. Everything goes even more quiet than before after you do so, as all the animals turn their eyes to you.<br/><br/>You begin to feel a little silly...<br/><br/>[Persuasion Check: ... Success!]<br/><br/>...Until the large rat suddenly steps backwards a few space, and makes some quieter squeaks, as it tilts your head questioningly at you. Your dogs also seem very confused, but are apparently willing to go along with whatever it is you're doing.<br/><br/>You aren't quite sure how long this monster will stay docile, so you quickly begin to look it over just in case you do have to fight it. Saliva drips from its exposed jaws, and from what you know of monster rats, their spit is toxic if injected into the bloodstream. You were never taught that: you've just seen it happen to someone before.<br/><br/>Whatever, they deserved it.<br/><br/>The beast also has long claws on its feet, but given its size and body shape, it will have some difficulty utilizing those in combat. And then, there is the tail. It's bare and exposed, and you imagine that having it bit would hurt quite a lot. The only problem would be exposing yourself to its ass and, possibly vagina. And considering the stench you're having to withstand at the front.<br/><br/>[Awaiting Input]
