We must pause for nostalgia purposes. The Narrator just heard Courage, the cowardly dog, making that 'Yes!', for a moment there. About as anxious, probably. That said, after identifying himself as Rock and the other man giving a name that was...actually a name...the rock was guiding them - and himself - forwards. This had to be the most capable random rock that Michelo had ever seen, and he knew about this one wizard tower outside of Hylop that has talking statues. The rock was literally psychic, capable of talking in your head and propelling itself. That takes real talent.
Now uhh...Michelo had a quick look at the teeth-marks. This was all wrong. I mean, sure, the goblin
could have bitten the floor or something, but why would he? A particularly-tasty grub? This guy wasn't the sort who'd just tackle-nom a meal like a savage. Other gobbos, sure, but this was the guy that'd been clever enough to sneak in during the Midnight Harvest - a time of transformation - and masquerade as a kid playing as a goblin. He was too
smart to do something like that. So then, what? Some monster? The only other smell he was getting was the rabbit!
So, they were continuing along - Michelo had failed to notice any failures of the ball of light, since he could simply see well in the dark and used his other senses, as well. - when they came to some stairs. Well, Michelo stopped abruptly when he noticed that there was a
down and stepped back for a second. Wallace might bump into him. This would be important because when Rock dropped down and bounced down a step or two, it made noise...and something
heard that noise. It'd been further down, but at hearing the sound, it suddenly bounced up the stairs at a rate unheard-of by small furry animals.
The rabbit hath been found!
Michelo flinched as this black-haired thing with red eyes hopped up at a swift rate and
immediately began investigating Rock. Oh look. The teeth in its mouth match that of the markings on the floor. That's...not good in the slightest. And the REALLY funny part is because Rock communicated by telepathy, he could also
hear this thing, now that it was sniffing him rapidly.
WHATISIT?ITMAKESNOISE!Very rapid thinking. Anyway, the reason why Wallace possibly bumping into Michelo becomes important is that if he
does...Michelo might fall forward into this thing.
