Ace!

[ she repeats it like it's the best dog name ever. ]

Nice to meet you Ace.

[ after giving him the bit of a psychic feel-out (without really recognizing the extent of what she's doing) she draws back, distracted, looking thoughtful. ]

You felt like you were having a lot of fun so I wanted to try it too. No squirrels got hurt in the process.

[ifnotloyal]

I felt like I was?

[ It is the best dog name ever, it is, it is.

Psychically, he's similar to a human, but not the same. Chief concerns of his currently are 'who is this person' and 'squirrels'. The predominant difference might be how much more sense reliant everything is and, well, those senses aren't set up to read so easily to anyone used to humans. ]

I was, but... [ Ace plops down to sit. ] What do you meant I felt like I was?

[huitzilin]

[ it's really nice and simple, and she doesn't seem to really want to dive any further. she's pleasantly enthused, and when she hops up again she crosses her legs in the air and floats there, satisfied. ]

I mean you felt like it. You were having all kinds of squirrel feelings. That's how I found you.

[ she doesn't seem to find anything about her telepathic intrusion strange. ]

[ifnotloyal]

Wow. Really?

[ And being a dog, he has little experience with telepathy and has no idea it's an intrusion at all. ]

Is that why you decided to chase after it, too? Because you felt what I was feeling?

[huitzilin]

Yep, really!

[ she half turns in the air absently as they talk, like it's something to do while they exchange words. ]

Mm, yep again! You were having fun, and I wanted to have fun too. You didn't feel like you were going to hurt the squirrel. I didn't either, but it was fun.

If you're a talking dog, are you an imPort too?

[ifnotloyal]

We could keep on chasing squirrels if you really want.

[ So long as she knows the rules! He sure won't mind. ]

But yeah, I am! My tattoo is under my fur, so it isn't very obvious, but I am.

[huitzilin]

[ she stretches her hands to her knees and looks around for the skitter and chatter of the squirrels. ]

What kind of power do you have? What kind of doggy power do doggies have?

[ifnotloyal]

[ What kind of doggy powers does he have? Asking that, even after she's already pointed it out just a minute before? He gives her a big ol' doggy grin, tongue lolling out and all for a few seconds before he has to speak again. ]

I can talk to people. That's my power.

[ It's not the whole truth. There is more, but he's reluctant to share the rest. ]
