[Uh-oh. That tone of voice meant Ion is upset at her! Anise cringes a bit and dips her head in submission, trotting over to Ion on all fours. Maybe she could play cute and get off easy!]
That's because I am one, silly! [She barks at you to demonstrate, all thoughts of avoiding trouble forgotten. Really, and humans say that dogs were the dumb ones.]
But I'm playing right now! [Grinning up at you, all innocent and happy. Ion is gentle and patient, so it's perfectly fine to negotiate with him, right?] I can take a bath later!
[Cr-cringe, and a small whine escapes from her. She presses herself flat to the ground, getting more grass over her clothes.] Ion...? You've always let me play when I want!
[Whine, whiii~iiiine. Anise is nothing if not persistent, especially since you've been so lenient with her in the past. Plus your voice isn't as scary now! She just has to keep looking pitiful, right?]
[And he follows behind her, making sure she's actually going back.]
I could very well be asking you the same thing. You've never been so disobedient before, Anise... as far as I know, at least.
[Why yes, his darkside is set on guilt-tripping Anise on top of encouraging her further humiliation. Really, he'll never stop apologizing for this later.]
[And he just walked outside to find Anise digging a hole in the ground. Seriously, girl, wut r u doing? His voice is sharp and stern.]
Anise.

Of course you are. But even a dog need to be well-groomed. You wouldn't want to bring shame to your master, would you?
[Naturally that master is him. She's his guardian, after all. Guardian, pet... was there really so much of a difference?]

[Which is exactly what Anise does, all the while shooting the most pitiful expression ever at Ion.]

Anise. I'm going to count to three. And you better be on your way back home before I get there.

[Uh.]
[Whimpering one last time, then getting back onto all fours and trudging ever so sloooowly back to House One.]
What's gotten into you all of a sudden?
