Bostwick's hostile personality was grating on Trevor's nerves. An irritated micro expression flashed across his face.
Trevor -
"..."

And so went the conversationing. Other times, Trevor plied the realm of spirits for whatever he could glean. It was easier when he astrally projected, but it was a dangerous prospect without a powerful spirit guide. Nonetheless, he had to give it a try sometimes.
One such night, a lesser rat appeared to him before he took off.Lesser Rat-
"Hey chief. Got a line on a faerie that does things for Florence sometimes. May or may not be willin' ta double agent. Whaddya think?" |

Trevor -
"We can look into it, but not without taking every imaginable precaution."

Lesser Rat -
"You don't have to tell us that. But I ain't talkin' very
powerful, just like... A cobbler spirit. They make shoes.
So, whaddya wanna do? Run with a buncha rats in yer
back pocket? Put on some like super-triple-dipple magic?"

Trevor -
"I'm mainly concerned about the consequences if we give our location away a second time."

Lesser Rat -
"No worries. We won't leave even the scent of a trail behind. Besides, it's a pretty faraway spot, lotsa space to lose a tail. Ya wanna go?"He seemed to be forgetting it wasn't that easy for Trevor. Astral projection took some effort, and once projected, going anywhere without a guide was risky. Was Lesser Rat going to be reliable enough for that? Less powerful spirits often seemed to have a short span of attention.

Well, it was worth a shot. Trevor could always call back the distractible Lesser Rat, should he be led astray.
Trevor -
"All aboard."
Lesser Rat hopped onto Trevor's shoulder.
Lesser Rat -
"Let's go!"
((Edit: Dialogue added.))

Trevor made incantations for protection and luck - especially for the body he was leaving behind - and rose into the silvery void, the rat now on the shoulder of his spirit form. The little being scrabbled at the false air, pointing out invisible paths, directing Trevor through the false cosmos.Lesser Rat-
"Yeeah, so, it's in the Green Lands, but not in the palace. A shame, I really love the food there." |

((Awww.))
Trevor -
"So, this faerie friend of Florence's is traitorous? I wonder why."

Lesser Rat-
"Well, that's what this guy said to this other guy who said to an airt with an attitude problem. Might be."

Trevor -
"That sounds completely trustworthy."
Snark aside, it was the least suspicious thing he'd heard these parts in a good while. Miss Bunny had to stop sending him on (once literal) wild goose chases.

They whooshed through the void, finally breaking clouds from above to sweep over a brilliant emerald landscape of faerie rings and megaliths and mounds. There were three suns in the sky, glimpses into reflections of places this realm drew near to the material. The lower they went, the less bright the sky was, until at the grass level it seemed a bit overcast - dark clouds with random bright breaks that illuminated the realm in patches.
This lesser rat directed him with twitches of the nose, until they alit in a moist sparkling grove. Will-o-wisps and other things circled each other in an endless dance.Lesser Rat-
"They said they'd be hanging around here somewhere." |

Trevor -
"I can understand if a double-crosser informant would prefer to stay out of sight. Hello, anybody hiding in the grasses."

There were a lot of replies, from an assortment of creatures. Lesser rat covered his eyes.Lesser Rat-
"Oh no... There are too many." He kept sniffing the air though, and pointed a little hand in the direction of a hill crest. |
