He jumped backwards, his fur standing up. This was the worst case scenario. Horrible. Bad. Awful, even. ...Somehow he had his doubts that so called 'big dog' was actually that aggressive. He actually bothered to focus on his— her? Voice, suddenly being far more confused than anything else. He tilt his head. Was this Curly. Looked like Curly. Talked like Curly. ...Wrong gender, though. Jimmy could talk. Slightly. Albeit extremely difficultly. "...I. Can't re..ally. Ex..plain.. this."

He didn't have much of a reaction. While the urge was there, he was still sane enough to not go after it. ...He did however pick it up, struggling, and then returned it with a very passive aggressive throw. ...It had claw marks. Several. It didn't seem in the greatest condition. He wasn't good at picking things up normally like this, of course it was a little beat up.

He tilt his head. He had no idea what they were talking about. "...Who?"

He looked back at his tail, that was... really weird to have. He was almost tempted to try out of spite. However. If he really wanted to catch it, he could just... hold it. So, no. He wouldn't humor the idea any longer. Surely. ...He's not a full on canine he'd just look dumb. He's not giving anybody that chance. Though the idea is stuck in his mind now and it's pissing him off. Does this increase his agility or something? He wasn't really sure. No, he wouldn't find out. He's too prideful for that.

He did the closest thing he could to a frown. He hasn't really tried, but if he was being honest with himself he was nervous. Surely it couldn't be any different than a fully human mouth. "...Tr...ying." His voice sounded significantly different, and the movement felt awkward. But, since he could make noises at all, he simply assumed he could speak. He would avoid it if possible considering how unnatural it felt, however he was capable of it. Albeit quietly and with struggle.

His body language tensed, his ears pinning back. He did a quiet howl in turn, quickly covering his mouth. He glared at them, making no further sounds. And if he did, he'd just shut himself up. He has arms and was human enough in thought to do so.

He seemed to dissociate before reluctantly snatching it, tearing into it without much other thought. Which was weird, given he usually doesn't have the urge to eat anything. He was content for now.

He growled, practically leaping backwards. It was unfortunately much easier to visually tell his emotions. He also got the urge to run away further than that. Which was weird. He shouldn't be so cautious of a stupid pat. Despite that, he didn't follow those urges besides the initial panic. His stance was very cautious, despite acting so aggressively usually. Though, he was reasonable enough to know biting someone would be kind of weird. And stupid.
