Project befriend dog is succeeding. Smiling lightly, they hold out their hands in front of them, showing that the banana is all gone and they have none left. Still, they will wait for her to feel comfortable enough to touch them first. "Told you I ain't so bad. Now, can you or your bird friend show me where you came from? Do you know Gambit?" Scourge is unsure of how intelligent this dog or her hoot are. But they're trying.

Hm no more snack.... she sits down, looking up at them with... an eyebrow raised. What are you expecting? The hoot readies a pencil and paper but she shakes her head at it, and it puts it away.

Doggo immediately gets a huggo!! He brings her face close to him and he rubs is cheeks against her fur!! "Aww thank you for trusting me!! You're so cute!!! Hey, hey!! I wonder where's your owner? Do you have one? How'd you get a Hoot!! How'd you get inside here!! We should name you something! Oh-- I know!! How would you like to be called... Kate!!" Naming her after the iconic protagonist of Alpha & Omega, an animated cinematic masterpiece.

Woof she didn’t expect that! She probably should have though. Nevertheless she doesn’t wriggle out of it, instead, happily accepting the hug and affection. Of course, she doesn’t respond to his questions, just wagging her tail.

I'm awake which means it's back to dog time. Scourge seems pleased that she likes the banana! She gets another small smile outta them! "See? Ain't so bad, yeah?" They unpeel the banana further so they can give her another chunk of it, putting it on the ground in front of them. They take the remaining small chunk at the end of the banana and set it on the ground in a different spot. "Do you think your bird friend would like a piece?" is the dog's hoot hongry!!! snack time

She lips her lips, and then nudges her hoot, which flutters off her and pecks at the small chunk. The dog herself bites the banana and gives it one or two chomps before swallowing it, looking satisfied. It seems she’s no longer cautious of them, looking up expectantly.

You know he sways faster baby!! He's spinning in position like a top would now! Always facing her though! It's more like his body is moving but he remains in the same pose, still singing and waiting for that dog hug! "Faster! Cute cute dog you're a cute dog! Cute cute dog you're a cute dog!! Cute cute--"

Initially she was watching him sway faster and faster but-- she stops wagging her tail and walks up to him and puts a hand on his leg to... stop him? Looks like she was getting dizzy.

[mysteriousnostradog]

"Cute dog, cute cute dog! Cute dog, cute cute dog!! Cute dog, cute cute--" He just... Keeps repeating that exact phrase in a sing-song tone over and over! He then starts swaying side-to-side slowly while singing as well! He's moving to the beat of the dog's tail swaying! His arms are still open in case the dog ever wants to get close within hugging range, but for now it seems he's just going acapella! Animals love music after all!

It looks like she’s getting into it! Her tail wags faster...does Pip sway faster too?

"Aw, c'mon. I know it's no bacon, but some dogs really like some of these." They set the carrot on the ground and unpeel the banana instead. Break off a chunk of it and hold it out. Bananas smell more interesting than carrots, I'm sure! "They don't really have bones or anything. Least not I can find. This is the best I got unless you want me to cook for you." Scourge's hoot peeps in a friendly manner at the dog and her owl partner. They break off a smaller banana chunk and feed it to their hoot.

She does go closer to sniff at it. As she nudges it off their hand with her snout so it falls to the ground and then eats it there, it seems she’s satisfied. The hoot on her back peeps back!

[mysteriousnostradog]

Oh, a smart dog! PIP gets it! He's used to the smallest cues animals and beasts make to try and convey emotions and feelings! So instead PIP sits down, cross-legged on the ground, and opens his arms. As always, his voice is as honest as ever as smiles. "I can tell you're a bit nervous. I promise I don't bite, hehe!! Would you like a hug? I'm not going to hurt you I promise!!" He'd rather throw himself off a cliff than hurt a creature of any sorts.

The dog stares at him.... but any seriousness she was trying to convey is ruined by the tail lightly wagging behind her. Though she doesn’t bound over to him she does approach him, stopping at three feet or so away to consider further.

[mysteriousnostradog]

Scourge smiles a little at her being receptive!! All dogs universally know snacks!! They hold up one of their fingers and say: "I'm gonna go get you some snacks. I'll be right back. Wait here." and then go back inside to the kitchen. They locate some simple foods that I hope exist and they know are safe for dogs (ie. carrots, a single banana, etc.). And then come back outside, sit back on the ground a bit away, and hold one out for her. "See. I brought you something." hopefully she didn't leave

Luckily for them, the dog had chosen to stay out rather than wander off. When presented the selections, she approaches slightly though stops when she smells what it is. She looks up at them judgementally for presenting her with a carrot.

Scourge observes the dog's wariness and then just. Sits on the ground. Not getting any closer. They click their tongue a few more times. They spread their hands out in their lap, showing they have nothing on them. When they finally speak, their voice is lower and calmer, even and quiet. "Hey, don't worry, it's alright. How'd you get way out here, huh? Do you want water? A snack?" here's hoping all dogs know water and snack

Snack?

It gets her attention and she cautiously takes a couple steps closer but... she stops and cocks her head as if to say You Clearly Don’t Have Snack On You, You Just Showed Me You Have Nothing In Your Hands.

[mysteriousnostradog]

Of course, Scourge immediately approaches the dog whenever they see it. But! They have experience with dogs and don't know this one, so they approach her by getting closer and squatting on the ground about a foot away. They click their tongue to get her attention, but don't reach out and instead will let her approach them at her own pace. Does she?

When the husky sees Scourge she’s immediately on guard, ears flattened, and she bounds back with the hoot almost flying off, glancing around for...something. Almost like she’s being wary of someone with a sword or something. When satisfied no such person is there, the dog relaxes, and settles back on the ground from her position of about 10 feet away from them, observing them.

PIP adores the dog!! His eyes immediately light up and he rushes over to where she is!! Dogs are usually responsive to the energy and charisma of a person, and he's got a lot of it when it comes to animals! Maybe that'll help him gain some of her trust? Either ways, he tries to get as close as possible. "Look at you!!! You are so adorable!! You're the most beautiful girl in this whole hotel, yes you are, oh yes you are!!!" He's not even baby talking, just professing his love for her.

The huskys ears perk slightly seeing Pip approach, but then lay flat as he rushes over. She gets up and backs up to about seven feet away from him, the hoot on her back fluttering with her movement. She’s observing him carefully, cocking her head as if she’s listening to what he’s saying.
