"D-Doctor…" Merry quietly whimpered, tongue lolled out as she panted on all fours. Her cheeks were flushed in a cherry-red blush, tail quivering from the very stimulus that was practically driving her instincts mad. "W-we can't do this! This is too much for me to handle! C-can't you please hurry and do it-?!"

"Shhhhhhh…" The light-haired Perro felt a shiver run across her back as the Doctor softly reassured her, his masked visage reflecting her embarrassing image right back at her. "This is simply a harmless experiment, Operator Cardigan. A little something that can benefit you and me. Nothing more will come after this."

"B-b-but I want more!" The usually peppy Operator whined, her mouth practically salivating at the sight of the long, hard object the Doctor was holding. Her mind was barely even coherent, a fog of pure doggy instinct kicking aside any remains of Cardigan's previous lucidity. Her eyes were only directed to the object the Doctor was holding in his hand.

That long...hard...thing.

She wanted it.

She needed it.

At this point, she would do anything to have it in her mouth aga—!

"Do you want it?" Doctor waggled it right before her very eyes, causing her inner puppy to fully fracture what was left of her pride.

'Yes, yes, yes!' Cardie gave a huge doggy smile, panting even harder as her tail wagged.

"Do you really want it?"

'Oh yes! Give it to me!'

"Alright then...here it comes—!"

Afterwards, Merry felt like she was flying.

Doctor's Findings: Testing with Operator Cardigan has proved that, despite her humanoid traits and higher intelligence compared to her canine ancestors, Perro still share some latent instincts with the latter. As proven by the reaction Cardigan had when she was given a stimulus of an object and the command 'fetch,' it can be implied that with enough stimulation, many other Ancients could potentially have some degree of fallback to their more feral traits. Further permission for testing will be required.

Kal'sit: Permission denied. Stop wasting resources on pointless ventures. Our Operators are not your pets. Kindly not take advantage of an Operator's inebriated state next time it occurs.

As for whoever is responsible for putting the missing kohl into Cardigan's drink, know that I'm watching you.

Amiya: Doctor, that drink was meant for you!
