[ 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! ]

...I see. So you aren't sure, either.

...It's good to know that I'm not the only one who doesn't know. Or rather, it feels nice?

...I'm not sure how, or why. But thank you, Shandy-kun.

[rugpull]

No problem, lil' Honey!

So see anything cool besides the floor?

[paradiseunboxed]

...There was a very large dog. I was surprised when it barked at me.

[rugpull]

Did it scare ya?

[paradiseunboxed]

...After it barked at me, I felt like I should move away from it, for some reason. Does that mean it scared me?

[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.
