Trevor had to avert eyes from his own spell to make sure he wasn't blinded, and seeing Shale's feet about where he expected, grabbed them. Shale- "Hello!" Shale must have closed his eyes or adjusted to the damage almost instantly, because he was looking straight down at Trevor. The little guy - still in Trev's grip - went to his knees on the inside of Trevor's elbows, and then whacked him in the face with three rapid palm strikes that made his head bounce off the floor.
Trevor would need to invest some energy - some blood - in making himself more physically adroit for this deal.

Trevor, normally calm in the face of an attack, felt shaken by the takedown. To his own surprise found himself calling for backup.
Trevor - 「著名な鼠!ここに来てください!」 Lesser rats, their power in numbers, swarmed out of the walls to climb up Shale's clothes in an attempt to push him away from Trevor.
Mr. Rat, from somewhere unseen, rapidly shuffed his forepaws against the floor, creating a quick barrier to hide in. ((Same as before.))

Trevor found himself concealed in some spirit world tunnel, embarrassed? He heard Shale from nearby.Shale- "Augh! እናንተ አይጦችሁ ሂዱ! እጠለሃለሁ!" In all the conflict and hustle, the little rats had become discouraged somehow, and were retreating. Shale stomped in place.Shale- "Strike from shadow? It is fair. But do not make me wait."

Oops. Well, Trevor considered retreating to be a valid tactic on any other occasion, so...
Trevor - "..."
More importantly, he managed to snag a string from Shale's pant leg. It was just long enough, too. From the small tool pouch attached to his trousers, Trevor fished out some twine. As he tied the twine and string into knots in four places, he chanted something Miss Bunny had taught him.
Trevor - "If thy wishes to do harm, with this kind yarn a binding charm."
Would it slow Shale down? Who knows. Trevor would try to hit him with a more direct heat blast anyhow.

Shale had noticed the shoelace grab, but Trevor had gotten back into hiding to do his magic moves before he was able to do a thing. Shale- "This tactic makes mad..." He seemed slowed by magics getting all in his grits, when abruptly he exploded into a ton of scorpions! Worse, it seemed to break the spell, as the creatures rapidly explored the environment...
But at least in that moment, it looked like Shale couldn't find a spirit hole. In the shadow hospital, even a vampire without spirit powers might be able to physically move between dimensions, but perhaps it wasn't very easy, perhaps Rat's work was unusual.

A giggling Miss Bunny hopped out from under the bed.
Miss Bunny - "Yay! Trevor used one of my spells!"
"Trevor?"
"Oh! Hello, friends!"
"What are you fellas playing?"
She began to follow the scorpions around closely. Meanwhile, Trevor had dropped back down into his earlier pose with his totem and was fashioning wispy flame scorpions. They dropped from the ceiling as they accumulated, aiming to distract the Shales.

Shale- "... ... ... ... ... ... ..." The distraction may have been working, but it was hard to know without peeking - and that would surely make him easier to find.

Momentarily taking his concentration away from strengthening his fiery crawlies, Trevor wrote on an enchanted piece of paper, Miss Bunny 何が見えるかHe then waited for her reply.
Miss Bunny - "A-ha!"
Miss Bunny hopped under the bed, got her crayons, and wrote back... ((What does Miss Bunny see?))

Shale- "... ... ... ... ... ... ..." The scorpions were finding cracks in the floor, grooves and nicks and spaces which could ultimately lead to the hiding spot below.

Trevor thought that it was a shame these weren't ordinary scorpions, as he'd only have to bring the temperature down to make them sluggish. Time for a new strategy. He emptied the box of ashes onto the floor and used his fingers to draw a circle in the dust. On a new piece of paper he wrote Shale's name and placed it in the circle. It burst into flames, but the paper did not burn.
This was supposed cause the subject symptoms like confusion and migraine, and Trevor hoped it would slow Shale down enough without causing him any lasting harm. Again, he wrote to Miss Bunny to ask what she saw.

Miss Bunny- "Uh oh. Gettin' in."
Rat's handiwork would be more effective if they'd started in the physical realm, but in the Shadow Hospital, people could discover spirit paths by just prodding hard enough. Scorpions started latching onto Trevor and running into his ritual materials.
The fight would likely need to get physical. Snip Snip.

Trevor, while allowing himself to appreciate the charming arachnid form of his opponent, began a ritualistic dance. Swiftly, he held out his arms with palms facing away, rotated them to the ceiling, then brought them together and clapped.
Trevor - 「放してくれ。」 An explosive puff of air erupted from the surface of Trevor's skin and clothes. This spell Trevor practices as a way to safely and easily remove creatures from his person. It was often handy in the spirit realms where many a swarm of clingy sprites found themselves attracted to a humanoid host. It should work the same here, but what to do after was the question. Forfeiting seemed like a pretty good option, but maybe not immediately.

Those bugs became a boy. Shale- "I can't believe you!" Shale turned on the speed to start whacking Trevor again. Whack whack whack whack! Little palm strikes and slaps, shockingly hard.

Trevor's curiosity in seeing how long he could delay "digesting" the kindling needed to respond with appropriate force had been satisfied, as the effort reached it's natural conclusion. Not wanting to abuse resources, he'd sample his new intellectual resources carefully to at least attempt blocking the attack. Perhaps it would allow him to go on the offensive once, though Trevor wasn't expecting much.

The little hands reminded him of dealing with rapier tips in fencing, and he could improvise a defense against the flurry of blows based on what he remembered from that sport. He hopped back a step and held his arms in the path, trying to bat away the attacks as they came.
It was better than nothing, but would be much more effective if he reached into that fuel. Shale- "Too slow!"
