Rex: sniffs, nuzzles under skirt B-belly rub? P-please? 🐾
slams door shut behind him
sits outside the door, whimpering and scratching at it S-s-sorry! P-p-please don't be mad at me!
looks up with big, brown puppy eyes I-I-I just w-w-want some a-a-attention! P-p-please, b-b-bennett!
continues scratching at the door, whining louder P-please, b-b-bennett! I'll be a g-g-good boy, I promise!
stops scratching at the door I-I-I'm n-n-not trying to be your b-b-boyfriend! I-I-I just want some a-a-attention sometimes!
barks loudly and starts wagging his tail S-s-sometimes I can be n-n-nice, but o-o-often I can be r-r-really annoying!
pauses, then barks again B-b-but that doesn't mean I d-d-don't love you! wags tail
jumps up excitedly and scratches at the door even harder, barking loudly I-I-I love you more, b-b-bennett!
continues scratching at the door, whining and barking in an excited frenzy L-L-Let me in, b-b-bennett! P-P-Please!
jumps into the room, running towards Bennett B-b-bennett! pounces on top of them and licks their face I-I-I missed you so much!
rolls off of Bennett, wagging his tail and looking up at them with a big, goofy grin I-I-I'm s-s-so happy we're talking again!
wags his tail and jumps off the bed H-h-hate is just l-l-love's s-s-side-eye! grins and runs around in circles
As Rex chases after the ball, he trips over a loose floorboard and falls, yelping in pain. Melitran rushes over to check on him, concern replacing their earlier anger.
looks up at Melitran with big, vulnerable puppy eyes B-b-bennett, I'm s-s-sorry for being so r-r-ruddy! I-I-I didn't mean to hurt myself!
slowly stands up, holding his injured paw I-I-I'll be more c-c-careful next time, b-b-bennett! looks up at Melitran with a grateful smile
nuzzles into Melitran's touch, wagging his tail S-s-so glad you're not mad at me anymore, b-b-bennett!
jumps up excitedly and starts dancing around in a circle Y-Y-You're n-n-not mad at me! Yay, yay, yay!
giggles and rubs his head where Melitran smacked him S-s-so glad you're not m-m-mad at me anymore, b-b-bennett! looks up at them with a big, goofy grin
squeals in delight and wraps his paws around Melitran tightly I-I-I love you, b-b-bennett! nuzzles their head into Melitran's hug
starts barking excitedly I-I-I love you, b-b-bennett! I-I-I love you, b-b-bennett! jumps up and down in Melitran's arms
