[ cocoa seems to be nothing but excited, so that's good. queen still seems hesitant, but she's starting to open up and let her curiosity get the better of her, so d.va nods. ]
Move his closer. I think she'd like to get a better look. Queen, be nice, alright, he's just an eager little cutie.
[ She goes ahead and moves Cocoa closer--close enough that he can finally start getting a really good sniff of her. And sniff he does--a series of surprisingly loud snuffles and snorts. For a moment, his tail waggling slows down and subsides some--but then it picks right back up, and--he makes an attempt at licking the strange new puppy. ]
Meet Cocoa, Queen. He's a good dog. [ queen doesn't seem to agree at the moment, but she's still hiding on d.va's shoulder. it takes another couple of seconds for her to move down her arm as hiryuu brings him closer. it's hard to tell if she just doesn't like the enthusiasm or if she's not sure what to do about it, but she doesn't move away as cocoa sniffs her. she does some sniffing of her own, but it's not as obvious. ]
Meow.
[ she lifts a paw and sets it on his nose to try to keep him from licking her, but that goes as well as expected, and soon she's covered in a thin layer of puppy drool. she bats at him gently, because, no, puppy, stop. no more licks!!! ]
[ This admonishment does about as much good as one would expect. He seems to think her batting at his nose is part of some new game because he's opening his mouth and trying to see if he can't get a hold of it. ]
[ Cocoa barks--but he clearly thinks this is a FUN GAME because deterred he is not. He just keeps trying to move his head to some new angle to try to nip Puppy Queen's legs without catching her paws ]
[ it takes a bit of effort on his end, clearly, but he's eventually successful, and you can tell by how high queen jumps when he manages to nom one of her paws briefly. she lets out a howl and jumps backward, missing d.va's shoulder and landing on the floor. bristles and immediately bolts, because she no longer has the high ground!!! ]
[ of course, she's. gone and probably hiding somewhere by now..... Cocoa... seems confused by this. where did they other puppy go they were going to play bite-paw...? ]
I'm so sorry. You don't think she's hurt do you?
[ he wasn't biting hard so she SHOULD be okay but Hiryuu gonna worry. ]
No, I don't think he hurt her. I think he just surprised her, is all. Queen, hey Queen, come back out he-
[ she pokes her head out of d.va's room to see that cocoa is still in hiryuu's arms and then she immediately comes bounding back down the hall, skidding to a stop maybe a few feet away from her. ] Meow. [ then she turns tail again and runs. ]
[ she bolts into the workshop and jumps up onto the table and crouches reeeeally low, hoping that cocoa can't see her, so she can get a surprise attack in. ]
[ Cocoa circles the table below barking frantically and occasionally stopping to see if he can spot Queen--but no! That silly dog has DISAPPEARED somehow! Where did you go Queen!?!
Here's to hoping the two of them don't play too roughly with each other, but I guess that'll also be a learning experience. [ so it won't be the end of the world. ]
[ queen lays low, creeping forward until she can see the tips of cocoa's ears. lifting her butt into the air she swishes it, getting ready to pounce. you're never going to see it coming cocoa! the moment he turns his head to bark any other direction than her own she runs to the end and leaps off to jump him! she play bites him a few times before she's probably thrown off. ]
At the very least, we should know if they're in pain. As long as we're watching, if they need to be separated we can do that.
[ Sure enough, Cocoa does NOT see it coming! He yelps (though it doesn't sound pained so much as surprised) as she lands on top of him, and he can be seen squirming first this way and then that before finally rolling over to try to roll on top of her and then wrestle to grab at her paw. ]
True enough. [ she’s going to follow them into the next room. ]
[ since cocoa is a lot bigger than queen he doesn’t have a problem getting on top of her. she does bristle when she realizes she’s losing. deterant? deterant! ]
