In the middle of lighting himself a cigarette, Goodman glanced up in brief alarm when the lady arrived, bursting through the door with enough of an explosion to cause him a bit of anxiety. No,<i>they</i>hadn't found him yet. It was just another one of Freddie's bombastic friends. As he finished lighting his cigarette, he jerked his head in a breezy greeting, stormy eyes giving her a liberal appraisal as Freddie rushed to answer the door.<br/><br/>Goodman merely glanced at the newest newcomer, offering a wave as he puffed on his cig in a relaxed fashion. But when the little dog barked, Zany lifted her head, ears perked as she stood alert, looking in that direction. A hint of amusement touched his lips as he watched her watching, finally startling her just the tiniest bit as he nudged her shoulder with his thigh.<br/><br/>"Go on. Say hullo. Be friendly," Goodman said in a silky rasp to her.<br/><br/>Still, the great dane hesitated, backed up a step or two and used his body as half a shield from whence she could watch the cute little dog. Rolling his eyes, mischief gracing his grin, Goodman tucked his cigarette between his lips and gave Zany a very sudden tap on her hindquarters. It was just a touch, not even meant to harm, yet getting her to nearly jump out of her skin with the spontaneity of it, a deep yelp coming from her throat. As Goodman chuckled deeply over her reaction, Zany gave him an offended scowl and drifted away from him, out of reach.<br/><br/>"Oh, how undignified," Goodman teased her as she tried to regain her composure.
