[Cecil takes Eugen's hand, still looking very apologetic. He would tell him that the puppy looked perfectly "normal" before, but he doesn't wish to offend Floweregg. She is too cute.

Which is why he is forcing himself to smile, and addressing the puppy directly.]

I apologize for frightening you, Floweregg. I promise I will not get weird again. [Probably.] Like Eugen said I-I am a reincarnate too. [He attempts once more to get a grip for the puppy's sake. He still dislikes admitting he is a numbered.]

Anyway, it is a pleasure to meet you.

[He might be offering to shake her paw. Dogs do that, right?]
