to:
We never see the rats talking and the only implication we have that they do talk is Dolores who tells Mirabel... \\\"The only one worried about the magic is you and the rats talking in the walls\\\".
The challenge here is that Dolores is shown to be an unreliable source of information. By the end of the story, she claims that she always knew about Bruno being in the walls and has been keeping that a secret for years.
Given the script has the line written as \\\"The only one worried about the magic is you... and the rats talking in the walls... (BIZARRE, A BEAT)\\\". It seems the writers were intending to have her statement about \\\"talking rats\\\" come across to the audience as an odd thing to say.
I suspect that Dolores was actually referring to hearing Bruno talking about the magic behind the walls, but she didn\\\'t want to share that information with Mirabel so she changes the source to the rats even though it make no sense why they would be worried or able to talk. However, this fits into Dolores\\\' line in \\\"We don\\\'t talk about Bruno\\\" where she says \\\"I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling\\\".
In short, I don\\\'t think Dolores heard rats talking in the walls nor can she SpeaksFluentAnimal because that is Antonio\\\'s gift. I think she was just wanting to gossip to Mirabel but not reveal that she knew about Bruno.
So, I\\\'d modify the current example to focus on the rats using tools in Bruno\\\'s room and being able to explain to Antonio what\\\'s been going on but leave out the bit about Dolores.
I\\\'d also remove the recently added SpeaksFluentAnimal trope to Dolores\\\' character section because I don\\\'t think she has that power. That\\\'s Antonio\\\'s gift and we\\\'re shown that the gifts don\\\'t duplicate.
