It's annoying, a little bit, to be caught off guard like that -- when did he even sneak up? -- but Lambert just offers Childermass a shit-eating grin over his shoulder, dusting himself off when Baker abandons him for his master. Ah, well, dogs are good, loyal creatures -- they won't so easily won over by something as simple as a few games and treats, so Lambert's never going to be more than a temporary replacement.
"Hypocrite," he laughs, once Childermass indulges the dog's demands for play. Childermass spoils the dog at least twice as much as he does, in his opinion. He just gets to say that also trains it to follow orders, as if that somehow cosmically balances everything out.
"How was the show?" Lambert's still lounging on the floor with his weight propped on his elbows, glancing up towards the magician with a sly, half-lidded expression. It's the first time he's actually seen what Childermass wears for performances up close, and it's funny and a little novel to see him in something so gaudy.
Gaudy by Childermass's standards, anyway, though it's much more understated than some other outfits even the natives wear ... speaking of which, while he's elected to pull on his gambeson over the black-and-white tank top he seems to have developed such a fondness for in Alola, he's left it open instead of buckling it up. Around his neck, in addition to the ever-present wolf's medallion, is a necklace Childermass will find familiar. Mostly because it's the one that Lambert lifted off him during the Celebration, which was the sorry start of all his troubles.
