[ Summer heat! Great for more time in the sun or sticking inside the air-conditioned buildings. Anyway, it's humid. Make sure to stay hydrated and apply sunscreen!

Heard there were some new faces, though. Why not greet them! ]

[rugpull]

Yeah. And t'be honest s'good to listen to that kinda feeling. It happens to try t'keep ya safe from stuff.

[paradiseunboxed]

...Mm. But what if it tells me to move away from something interesting?

...Actually, I wanted to look at the giant dog more. It's fur looked very soft and I was wondering what it felt like. But then it barked at me and I started moving away from it before thinking about it.

[rugpull]

Well the dog prob got a set of chompers like me so ya gotta be careful. Don't wanna get bit.

[bares own teeth for example, he has some very impressive teeth that were it not for the nerfing laws of this land could snap through bone]]

[paradiseunboxed]

[standing up so he can take a closer look at Shandy's teeth. in fact, he will try to poke one, testing how pointy it is.]

...Those do look very sharp. How impressive, Shandy-kun.

[rugpull]

[allows without fuss]

Thanks. S'why ya gotta be careful sometimes, alright? If ya get bit s'gonna hurt like hell.

[paradiseunboxed]

[he presses a fingertip down on Shandy's teeth very gently, just to test it out and see how it feels. he's being careful, though.]

...Mm... I don't think I like being kept from interesting things.

...But I don't like the idea of being hurt, either. That seems like it would be--unpleasant?

...Alright. I'll try not to be bitten by things, if they have sharp teeth.

[rugpull]

[absolutely reaches to stop him before he presses on his canines]

[paradiseunboxed]

[it's easy to stop Honey, he doesn't even try to avoid Shandy's hand or to free himself afterwards. he just stands there looking mildly surprised.]

...?

[rugpull]

Wanna try petting my ears? I ain't a dog but 'll allow it this once for yer curiosity.

[paradiseunboxed]

[happily shifting to gently pet Shandy's ears]

...Yes. I can tell you're not a dog.

...After all, you've never barked at me. ♪

[/joke??]

[rugpull]

I'm a hyena a--oh tha's nice....

[apparently hyenas have very soft fur so enjoy]

[paradiseunboxed]

...Fufu. Shandy-kun, your ears are so soft. I'm enjoying petting them very much.

...Are you enjoying having them petted?

[rugpull]

Yeh s'nice....

[purrs alas]

[paradiseunboxed]

[continues gently petting]

...Fufu. And now you're making some strange noises.

...Ah, it's still pleasant to hear them, if it means that you're having a good time.

[rugpull]

I am but makes me wanna lay down...

[paradiseunboxed]

...You can lie down if you want.

...If I sit next to you, I'll still be able to pet your ears.

[rugpull]

. . .

[goes to curl up on the lobby couch]

[paradiseunboxed]

[sitting down as well, angling himself so he can continue petting Shandy's ears]

...♪

[rugpull]

Y'look happy....

[paradiseunboxed]

...Do I?

...Maybe it's because you're happy, and it's because of me petting your ears. I've made you happy through my actions. Perhaps that's made me happy as well.

[rugpull]

[sleepily]

Mmm, m'happy. I ain't gonna let many people touch my ears but...I guess yer fine. Cuz s'the first time I seen ya smile like that.

[paradiseunboxed]

...Oh.

...That's very kind of you, Shandy-kun. Thank you.

[rugpull]

Well, we're teammates.

[paradiseunboxed]

...Mm... I don't understand how these things are related. Isn't the fact that you want to see me smile enough of a reason to allow me to pet your ears?

...The concept of teams...

...It seems the people around me have an instinctive grasp of what it means, yet I don't seem to understand it all.

...But it seems important, so I'll keep trying to understand.

[rugpull]

Teams mean ya work together and protect each other.
