( It isn't that she's startled by him — she smelled him coming, that scent of skin and hormones and ashes and flames, stronger with each progressive step closer. No, what startles her is the fact that he says sit, and Pyrito... immediately sits, without so much as a second thought, planting his round butt on the ground and panting open-mouthed at them.
Her mouth falls open for one silent second.
And then comes the tirade: )
¡He estado intentando que este perro me escuche durante veinte minutos! ¿Cómo es posible que simplemente te acerques aquí y se lo digas una vez y te escuche? ¡Ni siquiera te había conocido antes! ¡Lo llamé como tú en broma! ¡No se supone que te escuche mejor que a mí! ¿Qué carajo?
[ Always going to be thankful to this realm's magic for always understanding her tirades even when they're spoken through another language. It amuses John so, and it's palpable in his expression when she's finally done with it. ]
Guess that just means the name works on him.
[ Because Pyrito will only listen to Pyro himself. ]
( She huffs unhappily, crossing her arms for a moment. Does it make a difference? Messing with her or not, he still does not sit for her when he does for John. This is deeply annoying and, after a beat, she marches over and stuffs a fistful of treats into his hands. )
Since he loves you so much, you teach him.
( And that is the story all about how Pyrito begins following John around any time he comes within sniffing distance of the stables — and, eventually, even further than that. )

You sure he's not just messing with you?
