The large Black dog suddenly seemed to transform, going from stern and proud to playful, thick tail waggling, entire face seeming to vanish in a wave of wrinkles. The Dog bowed down in a familiar stance that triggered some of her instincts, whispering
'play' in her ear, and she dropped down, forelegs splayed out and tail high in the air.
Her eyes widened in shock as suddenly several other Big Black Dogs appeared, mimicking the original. The little white fox jerked her head from side to side, looking between them, before bounding forward, swiping a paw at one of the clones in hopes of getting it to play.
To her disappointment, the Black dog stood, and so she did the same, tail still wagging. They were fun! She liked them, especially the Big Black Dog. The White Winged Dog she still wasn't sure about, but she seemed nice enough, if a bit skittish.
And then the White Dog was speaking, saying something about a 'Nemean' being small, as well.
"Nemean? Who's that?" she asked, still unaware of all the Gembounds that ruled the Caves.
The White Dog (introducing herself as White) told her not to jump on others while they were sleeping, and Paige drooped.
"I'm sorry, I was just trying to have some fun." She hesitated, tilting her head, before asking,
"You called him 'DAAAAAAD' earlier," she tried to mimick the bird-dog,
"What is a 'DAAAAAAD'?"
