His name is Sir Pent. Want to say hi?

[the snake hisses a little. it's fine.]

[retellers]

Uh... not a big animal person.

[ said the furry ]

[dawnblushed]

...

You're wearing an animal mask and you told us all to call you Wolf.

[retellers]

I didn't pick the mask or the name.

[dawnblushed]

It's still kind of funny coming from someone with an animal mask on their face.

[...]

Sir Pent's really nice, you know. He won't bite.

[retellers]

Wouldn't be so sure about that.

[ they don't seem scared of the snake so much as. worried? ]

[dawnblushed]

Well, he probably bit some leeches, but I'm pretty sure that was to protect me and Zuko.

[retellers]

I'm sure he did. Look, animals don't like me much.

[dawnblushed]

That's weird. You aren't so bad.

[she pats the snake on its head and it kind of tastes the air a little with its tongue.]

They'd probably like you if they got to know you.

[retellers]

Thanks for the endorsement, but it's fine. I don't need a pet.

[dawnblushed]

No? But usually people get less grumpy when they have pets.

[the words are mean but her tone of voice is totally sincere... she doesn't mean anything by it......]

[retellers]

I'm not grumpy.

[ they said, grumpily ]

[dawnblushed]

[yona stares at them.

sir pent stares at them, too.]

[retellers]

Stop that.

[ >:T!!! ]

[dawnblushed]

Prove me wrong by smiling.

[retellers]

How is smiling on cue any better?

[dawnblushed]

It would prove the muscles you use for smiling aren't broken.

[retellers]

That's not a thing.

[dawnblushed]

There are definitely muscles in your face, Wolf.

[retellers]

You can't break your muscles.

[dawnblushed]

What word are you supposed to use when they don't work, then?

[retellers]

My muscles work fine. And it's called a strain.

[dawnblushed]

Okay, so prove that your smiling muscles aren't strained, then.

[retellers]

No.

[dawnblushed]

[POUTS.]

Please?
