[Ken is surprised - but not displeased - when Chikusa deposits him into Hakkai's lap, actually moving him closer to Gojyo. He'd thought that Chikusa might object to Gojyo touching him, but either Chikusa appreciates that Ken has been trying and failing to make some kind of peace with Gojyo for awhile, or Chikusa just recognizes that Ken would never want someone to stop his being petted, no matter who's doing it. Or, possibly, both.
Either way, Ken is likewise pleasantly surprised by Gojyo petting him, although - like Chikusa - he expects that it's only happening because Gojyo's pretty out of it. But it feels nice, and it's a lot better than fighting with Gojyo, and...well, Gojyo seems upset, too.
Tentatively, he licks Gojyo's hand. Considering Ken is normally a teenage boy, and still possesses the mind of one, this might come off as odd...unless you know that Ken acts on his instincts almost exclusively, and his instincts while in the shape of a dog conform pretty closely to the body he's in. This is just what feels the most natural for him to do right now.]
