Interior of the (hamster) Ambassador to Syria's office. The hamster is sitting at a desk. The doormouse is standing in front of him, hat in hand.
Doormouse: Sir! You have two guests who seek an audience. Felines. They claim to have been sent by the king.
The doormouse leans in to listen to the hamster, hand cupped around his ear.
The doormouse stands up slightly and uncups his hand.
Doormouse: No sir, I don't know if they brought you any cheese.
