*they look at Cane* what's going on?

“Uh… I… he overheard us and- well… he wants to… according to him the king, uh…” he can’t get it out, staring down more to avoid Nexus’ gaze as it leaves into the next hallway

well if he wants to fight the king then so be it *hums* then good idea to find a way to escape if it foes to far

*oh dear, it's not that they don't wany to stop him but they're not exactly sure how, they chase after Cane*

*they sigh* guess we scared the poor staff

“No, I scared the staff, don’t take credit. And they’re still here, but your friend has left to go after mister ‘darkness and angst’.” Maple hums, finishing up the rat a big bite

yeah you're right, my apologies. *hums and goes after Cane* see you later

*they walk to Cane concerned*

is this all the food in the castle? *they are concerned now as they look at the staff*

They look at each other, quietly nodding… “Yes the harvests haven’t been great according to the king…”

hmm, that´s too bad *they hum softly* he sounds like a good king

“Well clearly not.” Maple spits out a bone or two. “Leaves his people to starve. Weak.”

well smart thing would have been to keep reserves when harvest was bountiful but naturally I know nothing about this kingdom, *hums* but if this is the only food in the castle, doesn't that mean the king eats this as well?

*they look towards the entrance as well*

The door is closed so they can't tell who it was, but there are definitely a few guesses

this all that's left? wow that rat was a glutton. there aren't any more of them here are there?

there are more rats?

She nods, pointing to a wall.

huh, thanks *they look at the staff* how long has this been going on?

“Uh… what do you mean…?” They all look a bit confused, glancing between them and the wall

you didn't know there were rats in the walls? *looks at them confused*

They shook their heads, an agreeing ‘no’. Though honestly in such an old castle it should be no surprise.
