He and I helped rescue the Emperor and were in the army together
One eyebrow shot up. "Really? Good show! I myself saved Her Majesty the Queen (God Save Her) on my last case. Hmmm...I wonder if there could be a connexion..."
And I bet that many people reguard you as a hero.
"Well, it's very kind of you to say so," said Basil, swelling slightly with pride, "but 'hero' may be a bit much for a chap simply doing his job."
Though all of them have performed some good deed of some sort.
"Interesting theory you have there, Daw--, er, Miss Mulan. That we have all been brought here because we are agents for good in our respective worlds."
"Alas, it doesn't quite fit the facts. You see, I have encountered several villainous persons: an exceedingly cruel lioness who tried to devour me and a fiendish human who attacked me for no reason whatever."
"Besides a few others who, while not evil, were not, at least upon first observation, particularly heroic." He was thinking of a chanteuse in a seedy pub, a temperamental faerie and a loud and annoying chicken.
Basil was pleased with the way this girl's mind worked. Although she was in error, still she seemed to have a penchant for rational inference.
"However, I have met several mice, like myself, more predators than I care to remember, a great many humans, and one..." he hesitated to say it, it sounded so absurd..."one faerie."
"Basil, are we dead?"
The detective laughed good-naturedly at that odd question. "My dear young lady, you must not let your fancies run away with you." Surely he would know it if he was dead.
Do you have an idea on where we're at?
"From what I can deduce, we are in America. That is an unknown country to you, I'm afraid, which shan't be discovered for a great many centuries. But when are we, that is the question."
