[Champion barks in reply, and drops his jaw to begin panting. If ever there was a picture of an amused canine, the mabari is it.]
Hawke's dog goes where Hawke goes, as always. [He's back to addressing his human conversation partner now.] And before you ask, yes, you may certainly have an autograph, although I seem to have left my pen in my other robe. Do you have one I can borrow?
