"I can handle one Rat just fine," she assured him.

"Which one?" he asked, looking around like he expected to see the rat in the crowd.

She took advantage to flick his temple as he looked away. "Must have scurried under the table."

His hand snapped up to catch hers. "Probably stealin' som' cheese."

"Tis what rats do," she agreed, trying to wriggle her hand loose.

He held it for another moment just to prove he could before letting her hand go. "An' y'd know all about it."

She could knee him in the gems too, if she wanted.

"Tis part of my work," she pointed out.

She wouldn't though. She liked him no matter what she said.

"So what kinda cheese will ye be watchin' to make sure I don' steal?"

She could knee him even if she did like him.

"The one that's locked away," she said, because it was a silly question to ask.

"P'haps," George acknowledged. "But tis th' best kind."

"You'd think so, even if it weren't so," she agreed.

He shrugged. "I'd keep lookin' til I found th' best then."

"Even if it were offered in plain sight?" she teased.

"No one would be offerin' th' best kind in plain sight," George said seriously.

"We're not in the Lower City here," she reminded him.

"People don' change," he replied. "In th' Lower City or not."

"They're paid here to put out the best," Beka pointed out.

"They're servants," George said. "They're paid t'put out what they want us t'think is th'best."

She rolled her eyes at him. "Tis good cheese, nonetheless."

He snickered. "Aye, tis good cheese."

"You're making me hungry," she complained after an instant.

"You started it," George teased. "Shall I escort ye to th'cheese, Lady Dog?"

She snorted and nodded her head. "Please do, Sir Rat."

He laughed and offered her his arm. "This way, m'lady. To th' best cheese I've seen."

"It isn't the one locked in the treasure chest, is it?" she asked as she placed her hand on his arm.
