"Right," Duke said, staring at the rat nibbling on a slice of coffee cake across the table from him. "So. You're a rat."

"Clearly," said the rat.

"Named 'Fallacy'."

The rat nodded.

"And you're a demon."

"Daemon."

"Did Lucifer send you?"

The rat facepalmed. Duke didn't know they could do that.

"Glad to see this is all working out for you," Rey smiled. "Think this is just for the weekend?"

"Seems likely," Duke said. "It's very . . . weekend weirdness."

"I'm not weekend weirdness," Tinis objected.

[betterthanaplan]

"You're weird, and you're here on a weekend," Duke said. "No offense."

[thatwaslucky]

“I think you’re fabulous, Tinis,” Fallacy said. Then nipped Duke in the finger.

"And I think you didn't deserve to get flung into a wall," Tinis said appreciatively.

"I didn't know she was a talking rat when I flung her at the wall!" Duke protested.

Fallacy just shook her head and sighed. "Humans."
