On a random day some years back in Pandora's Tears, Rat was sat in Panila's office with a proposition which was met by a resounding; "No."
"Why not?" Rat said with a playful flick of her tail, knocking a few papers off of Panila's desk. "Because you are asking for something so... Inappropriate." Panila sighed and took a sip of her coffee before Rat began grabbing something from inside her snow globe.
"Just wait, just wait. You say it's a bad idea, but I'll fund it outta my own pocket." She said as she triumphantly pulled out a briefcase full of gold bars in the shape of rats. Panila glanced over the gold before shaking her head. "I shall still not do it."
"But Tophi would love it."
"Not the issue."
"What is it then?"
"You want me to chase after him with such dramatism and lust, to then rest with him. Why would I do that?"
"I said sleep with him. And it's not like it'd hurt anyone?" Rat giggled, running her hands over one of the chains on Panila's suit. She seemed to shoot Rat a piercing glare, whipping her hand away with a chain. "It is humiliating. Why don't you go spend time with that... pet, was it?"
Rat let out a loud, bored groan and chucked the briefcase back into her snow globe before slumping in her seat. "You never do anything fun. Gods, I'd be a much better ruler then you."
"Isn't Desires currently broke?" Panila said as a slight smirk formed on her face. She took another sip of her coffee before placing her mug down and turning to the window. "You lack focus and commitment, Rat. You only do as you please, never focus on one thing at a time and you always repeat the same mistakes while never looking to the future. Are you even listening?"
Panila turned in her chair to see Rat pouring herself some coffee. "I'm listening. You're just really boring."
She let out another sigh and drunk another bit of coffee, though noticing it tasted different. She took another sip just to be sure and it still tasted off, like it had a more sweet taste. "Did you do something to my coffee?" She asked flatly as Rat sat back down with a slight chuckle. "I may or may not have put a few bits of one of my many elixirs in there." She burst into laughter, holding up an empty Elixir tagged as "Love".
Panila looked furious but began feeling dazed, her anger fading quickly as she began to laugh. Rat quickly pulled out a photo of Tophi and holding up to Panila's face. "You love him, right?" She asked while trying to hold back a snicker.
Panila stared at the photo before laughing louder, using a chain to pull Rat close. "No silly little Rat. I'm dying for you instead."
"Haha... Funny. But you like him, right?" Her smirk was quickly replaced with a worried smile as Panila shook her head. "I only want you. Come on, look how cute you look with your tail between your legs."
Rat's survival instincts kicked in as she quickly tried to run for the door, only to trip on a chain. She fell to the floor with a thud, quickly squirming to get away as Panila jumped over her desk, leaning down to Rat and slowly pulling her to her lips.
Rat let out a bizarre sounding squeal. "You ain't my love, bub!" She used her tail to throw scolding hot coffee at Panila's face, causing her to fall back in pain. "AH, MY BLOODY EYES! MOLLIA, I WAS TRYING TO DO A JOKE!" Panila yelled, using chains to shove Rat out of the room as she angrily went off to dry herself off.
Rat dusted herself off casually and casually waved to Team Cerbi, who were in the middle of playing cards and were interrupted by Rat tumbling out of their Boss's office. "Uh... You alright?" The Fox headed Decaynine asked with a slight laugh, helping up Rat.
"Panila can't take a joke. Neither can I, I guess."
