Laughing with relief, Hawke sets him on his feet, whereupon he immediately turns to check on Dame, still trapped gently between Sergeant's front paws.]
What happened, Captain?
[Still not one hundred percent reassured, Hawke crouches and reaches out a hand to stroke along the Growlithe's back while he makes sure Dame is properly cleaned from her tumble down the hill, washing her with his warm pink tongue. He leaves off the Togepi bath for long enough to briefly explain, but it's obvious his mind is less on his own recent misfortune and more focused on his tiny friend.]
