That.. that look he was giving her-- just like a puppy, of all things? Even though for a moment just now he had seemed so big and intimidating, he was starting to act like he was nothing more than a lapdog, some sort of puppy. Slowly she became a bit more relaxed again, the tension leaving her as she managed to have one of her hands leave the couch, instead moving up through the air.. and then on to his head, to pat him a little on the head a few times before letting her hand rest there.

... Geez. Yes, that surely was that guy, trying to win her sympathy like that. And she was just going along with it like some sort of idiot, huh? Still, his fur there was pretty soft and warm, so it wasn't like petting him was such an awful thing to do.
