By the time Cougar has arrived at his side, the mischievous smirk has died down and he's calmer. His hands are in his pockets and whistles to recall Baby from tackling Thorfinn too much, using a silent hand command to ease Baby into an obedient sit right in front of them. "I'm good," he promises, gesturing to the dog. "We're training."

He wants to make sure the dog is always learning tracking, which means taking him out as often as possible to learn the animals of the area.
