[He turns his attention from Anders to Pearl, who is still yipping and bouncing excitedly at Anders' feet.]
Pearl!
[At the sound of her name, Pearl begins bouncing and squeaking over to Hawke, her fluffy tail waving merrily like a little curly banner]
Pearl, focus!
[He holds up a hand, fingers together and palm flat, when he speaks, and Pearl obediently quiets down, watching him intently and waiting to see what he'll do next, although her back end is still quivering slightly with energy.]
Sit.
[He reinforces the command with a motion of his hand, pointing down with his index finger, and like magic, she sits, bright button eyes moving back and forth between his face and his hand, eager for her next command. Hawke will wait a moment or two before speaking again.]
Good girl. Go see Anders.
[and with a happy yip she bounces right back up and runs back over to Anders, whining and panting and excited to see him.]
