[Oh, gosh, ear ruffles. Bulba let out a tiny appreciative sigh without realizing it, tilting his head towards it. Yep, still very much a puppy. He would honestly be quite content with just this, buuut that wasn't how Char rolled and those other things sounded pretty good too.

He hesitated just a moment, shifting his gaze off towards something else.]

I think I'm already all cried out... [It was a little awkward admitting that it happened, considering Char was who normally caught most of the brunt of his tears. It just felt bad to say that it had happened again, like he had failed something. He perked up again quickly though, looking back up at Char with a somewhat hopeful look.]

That second option sounds a whole lot better.
