[ She sounds just as despairing as she sounds fond as she watches the little pup trap himself in hair, his long tail and short limbs getting wrapped up in it so quickly that there's nothing Merrill feels she can do to even try and stop it. Nothing but perhaps make it worse, until he settles some; then she reaches out and grabs the pup by the scruff, trying to make shushing sounds to keep the dog from squirming further.
Not that it necessarily works, but at least she has a hold on him, ears and cheeks tinted pink with embarrassment.
But then the woman whose hair has made such an effective net starts to laugh, and Merrill looks up, surprised -- and realizes that this rifter is both quite striking and elven. The sheer ridiculousness of the scenario has Merrill laugh after a moment as well, free hand quickly scratching Barkley behind the ears before she starts attempting to get him free of all the tangles. ]
Children will be children, I suppose, no matter what species. I am very sorry about this, but I think I can get him out -- please tell me if it pulls? My name is Merrill, if you have to get my attention.
