Can he like
Kind of understand me?
Like a Rhyshadium but a rat?

Ferences covered Fred’s beak to stop him making any noise and hunkered down.

“At least mine is logical based on the fact that none have ever been found. Not bedtime stories.”

"Well mine is-" Evee speaks before he can finish. "Stop squabbling the both of you! You sound like hatchlings!"

A special rat 

The trio slowly moved to avoid detection. Suddenly, Ferences’s eyes widened as he got an idea.

Ok wait hang on

In real life rats have an IQ of 105

This guy could totally understand me in a fantasy world

Also they’re smarter than dogs 

”Hey,” Ferences whispered. “Edward. You’re a rat, sewers are your bread and butter right? This place is dragon sized, so there must be dragon-sized sewers. Can you take us to the sewers?” 
 

Even if he can’t understand every word he could at least get “sewers”

An hour or so

Revi looked a bit ashamed

Thank you  

This is serious stuff I’m consulting research and studies on what rats can and can’t do irl  

Edward shot out from under the table, racing for a destination only he seemed to know.

“I hope you know where you’re going!” Ferences shouted 

Should you control Edward since you know where the sewers are and I don’t

You say that like I know where we're going

Edward kept running, the guards kept chasing

Ferences drew his makeshift dagger from his cloak just in case. Not that it would do much good against a drsgon.

As they neared one of the big doorways, a very large dragon stepped into it.

“Hey you!” Ferences shouted. “I warn you… Alexie, I am a powerful sorcerer, capable of taming even the most vicious of beasts!” He patted Edward as they raced forward. “If you so much as move, I shall place an unbreakable curse upon your bloodline!” He pointed his metal spike threateningly. There’s no way his name is actually Alexie.
