Snippet #1540499

Kaylee wagged her tail happily when Matt scratched behind her ears. Absently, she wondered how he knew that was the best spot to scratch. When he commented on the fact that she couldn't talk in this form, she barked again, wagging her tail as if to say that she could respond perfectly well. When he commented on her escape attempt, her tail dipping toward her legs and her head bowing slightly. In response to his question regarding if she was okay, she wagged her tail once more, poking his knee with her cold nose in a 'what about you?' motion.
When Heroku jumped in and Matt started to talk to her, Kaylee quickly hid the disappointment that formed in her mind. Instead, she payed close attention to Matt's actions, looking up at him with curious eyes. Her ears turned slightly to pinpoint the sound of approaching footsteps and then tracked it until there was a soft thump as a lion lay down beside her, seeming to grin. Kaylee wagged her tail in greeting and listened to Matt for a moment more before she was startled by a banging at the door and then a thump as a book landed on the table. Ears back, she stood and padded over to the door, taking a seat before she began to howl at the door in an attempt to receive the guard's attention. Of course, she got it within a minute.

"What is it now? I can't hear the game!" the guard's angry tone echoed into the room.

Halting in her howl, Kaylee barked and glanced at Matt before turning back to the intercom and pulling her front feet up into a begging position.

C'mon. Someone get the idea. Food. Do I need to spell it out to you? Food! F-O-O-D! Bring us food! Or at least me! Am I the only hungry one here?
