[ no no, egon, if a certain man didn't have a habit of provoking this kind of response from his skitty - see his contest entry - he probably could have nipped this in the bud a bit sooner. but he has not, and here we are.
dixie accepts the head scratches with a little tilt. when kölliker is released next to her, she gently gives her a lick to her 'cheek' membrane. when egon asks her say something? that has a look of surprise.
she's a dark type, so she can still hear kölliker but the psychic interference doesn't affect her. instead, she bumps her head against her, verbalizing a series of gentle growls and low barks.
the gist of what she says? that she gets swears are super fun, don't get her wrong. but for other people they're not fun. and she can see how upset she gets her trainer-dad and other pokemon when she does it.
if she listens to trainer-dad initially, she won't get in trouble. he's not mad at her until after she says no - and she can sense that egon is upset, but still cares about her, right?
she bumps her nose against kölliker's membrane again. plus, if she listens to him, then she'll have more leverage on when she can use swears later. ]
