He offered but wasn't pushy. They would have to get used to living together. "She might bite if she's frightened. Some fan came up once and grabbed my hair and she drew blood on them." The rat was well behaved and nice but it was still an animal and reacted when frightened.

Rik gave Billy a playful poke in the stomach with a finger. "Don't I get that anyway? I thought winning a bet got you something you don't normally get."
