The mouse was nowhere to be found, but within the tiny collector's den was 'treasure.'

'Treasure,' rather than simply treasure, because it was questionable in its value.

There were a scattering of gemstone chips, and two actual gemstones: an Unakite and a Garnet. There were several little pearls, scavenged from some unknown source, mostly creamy white but one soft pink. The metal scent's source was here, too: two tiny bits of scrap metal, rusted and old, and a little brass-hued jewelry chain tarnished by time. Other 'treasures' included various swatches of fur in different colors, two tiny, mouse-sized bones, a fang of some creature, and a glittering chunk of mica rock.
