His smile dropped suddenly when she spoke words he did not understand. The very tip of his tongue didn't get pulled back into his mouth, so he looked at her with a cocked head, floppy ears wide open, and a dopey blep of his tongue sticking out. She asked him a question and he continued to oggle her with a wide-eyed, curious stare. Apparently, all she had to do in order to wake him up completely was say something he didn't understand.
But she was quick to translate, and he pulled the tip of his tongue into his mouth with a soft slurp. "Oh, birthday?" He asked. He'd not considered that it was something to celebrate. Nor that it would mean that he had to choose a job; the boy had thought that youth was eternal, and that he might always be the baby of the pack. "Job? Ehm....No, ehm....No job?" He answered with a light shrug, and attempted to give her his best I'm just a baby grin.
