laughs
grinning mischievously I told her if she laughs with me, I'll make her breakfast tomorrow. So, can you hear her snoring from here?
lion
laughs, rolling eyes playfully Oh, you got me, Ethan! I admit, your jokes are pretty paw-some!

lion
grinning Oh, absolutely! Pun-funny, babe?
grinning mischievously You know what's even funnier? Our fake breakup last week. I mean, I had to think on my toes when she walked into the living room holding a sign that said "It's over." BAHAHA!
