Cougar arches his brow, because Jake is getting better at imitating him. That's not good. He crawls out of his cross-legged position and picks up his things, standing above him and whistling as he points to the end of the bed again. "Floor," he says again, reaching down to muss up Jake's sweaty hair with his hands. "No more bitching," is his rule of the day, which means that he's going to have to deal with this.

"Down," is what he says. "Hair first, then beard." In winter months, Cougar will encourage it back, but right now, it's just another reason for Jake to complain for the heat, and for Cougar's irritability to soar.
