"What is Russell raving about, has he gone mad, heeheeheeheeheehee, little mice in the caves just love to blabber nonsense, heeheeheeheeheeheeā¦"
The whispering voices by his ear were no longer coming from the unicorn.
Instead, it was the endearingly foolish Red-eyed Rat King Jerry.
Russell silently noted the insults Jerry had uttered about him, but now wasn't the time to scold Jerry.
He had to continue matching wits with the unicorn, hoping that in such a way, he could force the unicorn to reveal itself and then communicate with him face-to-face.
Of course.
If it didn't work this time, then there would be a next time. With the unicorn's magical abilities, Russell believed that ordinary people simply couldn't catch it.
So he had plenty of time to communicate with the unicorn in this way and eventually tame it.
