Extra bloop:
Alzu will make an absolute fool of himself for children. He loves kids. And babies.
Probably shouldn’t be left to supervise a baby, he doesn’t know how to care for a helpless baby, he’s used to puppies. Also, he’s likely to give the baby a sex toy as entertainment. (”What? ‘S body-safe, ‘s clean, an’ the baby don’ know what it is. Tha’s a baby.”) And prone to playing with the fact that babies don’t know to be afraid, he’ll put his mouth real gently around a baby’s face and grin at the baby not being aware that this is potentially scary.
Kids, though? Kids like him. Little kids in particular tend to go “COOL, a talking dog” and try to play with him. Y’know, the age before they understand the lines between fiction and reality. He’s got that friendly, open expression, the wagging tail- if they don’t mind the fangs, they like him.
He’ll play Frisbee, too, or fetch a tennis ball or stick. Like I said, he’ll make a fool of himself. It’s different with kids, and he understands that. In his words, “they live in a world where talkin’ animals are a thing. They don’ got that whole thing ‘bout animals not bein’ people. Ain’t, what’s th’ word, depersonalizing, ‘s just playin’. I like playin’. An’ some of ‘em throw real well.”
