(Thankfully no, just looks like he fell pretty hard on his stomach. Just lies there awhile, huffing and sputtering.)
...O-oh...?
(Slowly smiles.)
...U-uhhhhm... Th-thank you, mortal, I... I-I try, uhuh...
...Heh! Funny you should mention that, he is on meds. Might be time for his next dose, actually.
(Whistles for pupper pup.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019Would you... would you like it if... I worshipped you?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Eheh... I'll look into it. Maybe upping the dose would help too, who knows.
(Stoops over and ruffles the pup's fur, giving him the trademark methodical scritchies.)
Hey, heyyy, what's got you so worked up, boy. Is there... a squirrel. Or perhaps... a mailman. Or... a squirrel who IS a mailman...! Where is this mean old mailman-squirrel, boy.
...I—I... I would...
(GLEEFUL WHEEZE)
I would love that, yyyyyes...!
...Hhhh... N-no, I think... I think I am alright, but... Nnnghhh... thank you... Let me just...
(Slooooowly starts peeling himself from the floor, wincing heavily. The towel he had around himself slips and eeeeeeughh, God, this guy's got, like, all kinds of icky little vestigial bug arms going down his sides, and a weird, chitinous, segmented stomach like a caterpillar or some other larval arthropod... Eeeeeugh.)

Okay. Um... how... how should I do it?
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?(Is eventually, after maybe a minute and a half, able to lurch to his feet again, huffing a bit.)
Nnnnnghhh... gahhh... Ahhhh goodness, terribly sorry about that, I really am a klutz, and I ought be more caref—
(Notices he left the entire towel on the ground.)
.......
(SWEAT)
...U-uhhhhm...? I... I—I don't... know, a-actually, I never, uhhhhm... I-I never got this far...
(Nervous wheeeeeze, pawing a bit at his shirt-collar.)
...Uhhhm... Hmmm... I-I think... I-I think, really, uhhhm... Your—y-your belief ought suffice, I... I-I don't require much of—of people, a-and... Y-yes, uhhhhm... Th-thank you, again, r-really...!
...Heyyy, shhhh, it's okay, no need to get growly.
(Gently tries to scoop him up.)
...Heh! Sorry, it just might be time for his meds again. I always give them to him in bits of meat, so he's grown to expect that and associate it with snacks.
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019...Th-thank you, yes, a-and, uhhhm... I—I—I am just, uhhhhm... m-mainly glad that you are so good with—with cats, actually, it—it's nice, knowing that—th-that the faithful are able to care for my... m-my favorite animals...
(Just looks about as mortified as one could possibly get.)
...I-it's fine, yes, erm... Thank you, I will just...
(Carefully bends down to get the towel, the awful little legs twitching and squirming.)
...Heh! He and I, we have a good understanding. I guarantee you he doesn't mind.
(Gently carries pup pup into the kitchen and sets him down, opening a can of vienna sausages for him.)
