Stark had a little flash where he thought about it - he liked this. He breathed out slowly, startled by the fact that he didn't mind the puppy stomping his face, that little determined look in the pup's eye and his boyish smile making Stark feel pretty good about being there. He smiled softly, giving the slightest nod. "Tam! Good job." He said encouragingly. Oh god he hoped that Octavia had heard this first, and that it wasn't him getting to hear Tambourine's first words. 

The male curled an paw behind the puppy, still grinning at him even as they had their little heart to heart. "Can't wait till you're bigger and we can have some real adventures kiddo." He said, bumping his nose against Tambourine's tummy again.
