Success! Turning her head up to the male addressing her, her ears went flat for a moment to give him that traditional "sad puppy" look before letting out a soft bark of sorts and taking the cookie he offered. Not as well known to her, she still took certain to lick Mattis's hand as a sign of her ever-present gratitude for the edibles. Ah, yes, now. Their savior had arrived! With the cuteness that she had in her Inugami form, Marie couldn't help but give her all of the cookies -- well, save the two that had been procured beforehand. Once the maid leaned down to give her the rest of the tray, she'd receive a bombardment of licking and nuzzling to her face before being let go for the sake of consuming the treats offered up towards her. No matter what anyone else said, they tasted fine to her!
As seen by her ravenous devouring of them.
Once the tray was (literally) licked clean, Exoris would lift her head and a small tilt would see to her...thinking. Hm. What to do here...Ah, yes, She couldn't actually talk when she was the Doge, now could she? With that, she sat up and began her little shaking to "wriggle" out of her Inugami form. From the presence of the blue dog-like creature came that of the girl once more. Stumbling up and brushing off her legs, she laughed and waved to the group.
"Ah, good afternoon! Good afternoon! Now that I've finally gotten something to eat, I'm feeling a bit better! Marie, your cookies are amazing as always.~"
Would say nobody else ever.
"Now, now. There are new people? Hiya! Nice to meet you and all of that jazz. I'm the resident food-eater....err.. Inugami. Exoris Magnolia! A pleasure to meet you- ...Lady, are you okay? You're seeming like you got kicked in the stomach by an angry kangaroo. Didja see something bad?"
