I mean, imagine your some hired goon guarding the door to some culty bullshit. You get jumped by a group of do-gooders and as your about to get up to a bit of the old ultra-violence you notice one of these punks has a damned rat sticking out of a pocket, and it’s not even dead!
That’d be a little distracting at least. Did they train the rat? Is it a magic rat? Is the rat going to jump out and join the fight? Do they have to clean rat droppings out of the pocket every night? Do they keep the rat in a cage when it’s not in the pocket?
So many unanswered questio… Fuck I just got stabbed.
Me and the mouse in my pocket are gonna fuck shit up.

I think you overestimate how many people are gonna care about that kind of things when their lives are at stake. Rats are not that rare or unusual.
I think they were just rationalising the idea that a rodent pet could be effective enough ally to let you sneak attack
Probably. But some things just don’t make sense no matter how hard you try.
