This mouse... is an unusual mouse.
It walks (rather than scampering or scurrying) down the road. When carts or dogs approach it hides in the foliage, but it merely gives human travelers a berth of a few feet.
Also, it's got what looks like a cloth bandage wrapped around a stretch of its tail, with a rusty stain seeping through it.
"I see. That sounds like a very troubling time for you and I'm sorry to hear about it. Well, you're welcome to stay here while I do my best to figure out how to turn you back into a person. Can you tell me anything you know about whose tower you were excavating and what they were like? Do you know what became of the sphere?"
...I can't say I know much about the tower's former inhabitant. My employers didn't tell me very much; my job was not to know things, but to repel thieves. The archaeologists kept the sphere, though they did not meddle with it.
