Lyla and Adele and open
Lyla was aware of dogs in the same way that she was aware of elephants and kangaroos; she knew they existed, and she knew all manner of information about them, but theory was very different than practice. Mouse didn't count, really, since Miguel talked to Mouse like he was a person so she took her cues from him.
She stopped when the dog began sniffing at her, unsure of what to do next. And then someone spoke to her!
"He is not bothering me," she replied, watching the dog as he sniffed at her ankles. "It is not possible to bother me, as I am a holoagent, although I am currently manifesting as hardlight. This may confuse your dog. I am Lyla, by the way. How are you?"
