[ Well, isn't that precious? A tiny little mouse scampering after her, who probably just wants to be friends.
But first of all, it's a mouse, which to Dorothy means it's either
a.) plague-ridden, or b.) highly suspicious.
Which is really just because she's already observed that it is following her, and no animal ought to be doing that unless it's trained to do so and it is. Still very much a mouse.
So finally, she spins on her heel, props her hands on her hips, and draws back one leg threateningly. ]
I can and will kick you if you try anything remotely questionable, buddy.
2c but also I'm sorry
