"It might hurt you if you pet it", Sphix said. "So touch it all you want." She brought the box closer, figuring Loki was too ill to get up and take it. "I won't mind if you miss a few fingers. I already have an extra hand." She could use a pair of hands with the rat, though. Perhaps she could open the lid, and Loki could catch the rodent. That way she might be able to look at it before it ran away. Then again, Loki might miss it or let it go too soon, so it might not be the best of ideas.
Sphix glanced at the glass and shook her head at it. "I said rat, not mouse. Is there something wrong with your ears? And if your hands aren't as poor as your hearing, you could hold the box while I find another I can see through. One that is big enough." She hadn't seen one when she got her, though, so it might take a while.
