Was this thingâŠtrying to tell him that it wanted someone to remove that rope? From the sudden change in its demeanor, it definitely seemed like it. Butâ

She twitched at the question, tensing with a soft hiss of frustration. She didnât want to be found by that person! And she definitely didnât need the ugly rope. âPika pi!â
This was such a hassle, why couldnât he just take the rope off for her? The sound of running behind them made the mouse scowl, lightning sparking around her cheeks again; her tail whipped forward, and a thunderbolt raced away behind her.
âPi!â
