Sun Mote Copse bring me the biggest, baddest one

Although the thought of being laughed at did momentarily damper Dorminos's mood, he was quick to bounce back. I think you were laughing at me, actually, he retorted with a knowing lift of his brow, but I don't mind. I'm Dorm. It was pretty unfortunate that neither of them knew the slightest bit about caregiving (giving care?) since the pain in his ankle was beginning to radiate.

Maybe if I do this, he said to himself as he slowly pressed his paw to the earth. Each movement called for a raise in volume of his hiss, going from ₛₛₛₛₛ to SSSSS, until he finally caught on to the fact that nope, it wasn't happening. Any ideas?
