Talika took a reflexive step away as the kath hound approached her, understandable given what she'd just been through, but the violet skinned twi'lek managed to curb the fear and anxiety and swiftly had her emotions back under control. She didn't let the beast lick her anywhere, though, holding her hand out to push it's muzzle away, moving herself if she needed to. It was just a dumb animal, so she couldn't really hold it responsible - it was it's owners she blamed - so she didn't want to hurt the hound, but she really didn't want it getting near her either. With only the faintest hint of anxiousness, Talika said sharply, "Get your pet under control!"<br/><br/>She wanted to go, but she didn't want the hound following her. As soon as they had it leashed she'd be gone, though.
