[Whaaaaat. There's only a handful of things that will throw Dandy's fears out the window, and one of them is definitely fighting for the honor of the booty. He puffs up defensively, which really only makes him look fluffier and even more ridiculous, but dammit he's trying his best. How could anyone think Ass Rat isn't a name of pure perfection?!]

Of course I did, name one thing that's better than ass!! Look at her beautiful booty face, how was I not supposed to name her after that?!

["Booty Rat" apparently didn't roll off the tongue as well. But he stands by his choices.

The rest of the team decide they're having too much fun with this and all give each other a look. Hmmmm, ARE they really okay with Dandy? They of course love him, no one ever gets to see how affectionate he really is with them when no one's looking, but they're also just as terrible as he is. Especially Martini, who gets a wicked grin on her face. Oh man, they could sooooo use this to get more treats...

Dandy's toucannon seems to be in on the plan and holds her wing up more like a hand and waves it in a so-so fashion. Her trainer nearly screeches at the continued betrayal, but there's at least one good egg among them.

His little baby, brightly colored jangmo-o can only tease "dad" so much before it breaks her heart, and she finally paws up to Dandy and nuzzles against him. Look? See? He's niiiiice. Dandy's puffiness simmers down just a little at the surprise contact and he can't help but smirk at his apparently only good child. The others aren't really set to make Honey look like a liar, so with a somewhat defeated sigh, they all return to his side. Even his toucannon gives a bit of a nervous squawky laugh, she was only joooooking, gosh. Please don't kill her trainer.]

Y'see? [Dandy's much more calmer now, even if he still looks a little annoyed.] You can keep pettin' me now.
