It's communication.

[That makes sense. It seems like inexact and messy communication, but Ecks has always been adaptable when it comes to learning the languages of the creatures around her.

Cautiously, she leans down to lick Lucky on the face.]

[ Lucky is - not expecting this! There's a pause, and then Clint starts laughing for real and Lucky makes that same sort of borf sound and licks Ecks' face right back. ]

[Ecks is not prepared for the enthusiasm of the response, and she is still not at all sure that she enjoys being licked. She jerks her face back, already working her mouth in response to the uncomfortable feeling of hair on her tongue.]

This is a very messy form of communication.

[awwnoun]

Yeah, it is. He speaks English, too, so you can probably just talk to him if you want. Tell him he's a good boy, he'll like that.

[ This is cute, and Clint's kind of glad - he needed this. ]

[ecks]

You are a good boy.

[Just a flat declaration of fact. She pets the wet patch on the dog's face.]

Did I do it right?

[awwnoun]

[ Clint's still grinning. Lucky seems pleased, anyway - he tilts his head up at Ecks, letting his tongue loll out as he pants. ]

Good enough. You did it just fine. He's a good dog, he'll be nice to you as long as you're nice to him.

[Is Lucky going to lick her again?? She steers her hand away from his mouth.]

Where did he come from? You did not have him before.
