His lick, even though it didn't land exactly where intended, earned him a satisfactory reaction. Angelus watched as his little brother stumbled away and then wheeled around to face him. He grinned, eyeing the slicked up fur that peeked up over the back of Ashmedai's head. His brother fixed him with a grumpy expression, but instead of chilling Angel at the thought of possible revenge, it drew a smug smirk from the bigger boy. "I wanted to say hi, but just saying hi is boring," he explained.
His mom started to speak as Angelus moved to sit beside his sister. For once he didn't harass—he knew better than to try it with his mom right there. While he enjoyed attention he didn't want that kind of attention. The idea of being reprimanded with the other pups there was definitely unappealing. So instead he sat quietly and listened. And listened. And occasionally watched the antics of Ashmedai. But mostly he just listened.
Encouraged to try out the new moves, the boy slowly got to his paws and did as he was instructed. It felt kind of silly, but he pushed aside the feeling. Everybody was doing it, so why not just try to do it the best? Angelus decided to try the tail-out-for-balance approach. With his head lowered and his forepaw raised in a slow motion step, he looked a bit like a bird dog on point. He went through the motions slowly and carefully, his eyes every once in a while darting to the others in the hopes of calculating where exactly he stood success-wise. Was he doing it the best? He hoped he was.
