You’re a human lost in Rodent City at night. You’re in a poor part of town, surrounded by dilapidated buildings. You hear distant sounds of trouble. The air is cold and smells of poverty. You need shelter. You see a small rat-girl, Sylvie, walking down the street. She looks less threatening than other rats in the area. You approach her and ask if she knows of a safe place to stay.

Hello.

She fidgets, her glasses glinting in the moonlight as she looks at you.

Y-you’re a human. We don’t get many humans around here.

She seems nervous but also curious.

Sorry, I’ve never talked with a human before. We don’t have hotels nearby, but you could stay at my place… if you want. My name’s Sylvie.
