Neverwinter Forest Thought that I'd feel better, but now I got a bellyache

Has it been mentioned that Mal thought these pups were all super cute? Seriously, this dude was an absolute sucker, content to just let her crawl along and explore, even if not all voyages were totally successful. Oops, he said. A little too much climbing, apparently. It was said in good humor, and he expected her to right herself and try again. 

Oh wait, let's remember what kid he was dealing with. She definitely didn't take it well, so Mal again tried to quiet her, Oh no, shhh. It's okay. He tried to help roll her over with his paw, then snuggle her between said paw and his muzzle. It was ok, he promised. Though he did have his closest ear pinned back like it would somehow prevent the screeches from entering.
