[ The white dog under his arm seems to think it's a fun game when they run into another person down in these dank hallways, tail wagging and beating her owner's back with vigor. Noir turns to swing his bat at some of the lead rats, knocking them clear to the ceiling with the momentum and keeping a good buffer between the rats and whoever he may have gotten caught up in his mistake. It's the least he could do! ]
I'm sorry! Very, truly— ah—!
[ WHY IS HE SLOWING DOWN.... Noir stops on a heel and leaps back in front of him, giving him time to cast the spell and batting away any rats getting too close to the boy.
The spell shoots past him and knocks the entire front line of rats back, causing chaos among the ranks. That... That actually worked really well!! He's shocked for a split second until the other's voice draws him back and he moves to run once more. ]
Of- of course!
[ He'll still keep an eye on their rear in case the rats organize enough to keep following them, rounding the corner with ease and a hand between the boy's shoulderblades to ensure he stays a step ahead of Noir. The least he can do is protect this child he's caught up in his mess. ]
There! [ A room! Hopefully a clear room. Unlike the room that had sparked the rat's nest he'd stumbled right into. ]
