"No I don't...who the Hells are you?  When did a telepathic rodent move in?  Why is the rodent telepathic?  Are you in the Mystic program?  Would you like to schedule some time to study together?  I'm working on a project to demonstrate our innate superiority over wizards.  And none of that has anything to do with the fact someone has stolen the most horrific thing imaginable in a plot to kill me!"

"Nobody panic. We can figure this out. It doesn't have to end with Unit being eaten alive from the inside out by mutant grubs and me being suspended for bringing contraband on campus, or maybe even oh no I'm going to be expelled..." Shiori stops herself. "Okay. Deep breaths. Where do we start looking? Ideas?"

"That's a good idea," Shiori says, sounding hesitant, "only... I was hoping we could not talk to anyone official about this? I don't want to get in trouble for bringing them on campus. Maybe we could try Craig first? If something crooked is going on inside the building, he probably knows about it."

Unit turns to regard the tiny thief.  "Yes, what do you know about thefts in dorms?"

"Hey," Creig responds to Unit, "petty theft is not my bag. I'm a world-class trickster, guy. I don't take anything, unless there's a bigger prank on the other end. Although, rust mites have some potential..." He turns and makes the same flirty eyebrow waggle to Sarah.
