Yeah, it really is how he looks. At least Alolan Childermass didn’t opt for shorts or this illusion would be a lot more ridiculous.

“Are you implying I don’t take everything seriously?” Lambert makes a show of drawing his brows down and pouting at Childermass. It’s also probably a little different hearing his own gravel-rough voice coming from someone else’s throat instead of in his own head, no matter how mock-offended it sounds...

“Let him out this instant so I can give him some very serious belly rubs.” And Lambert has a suspicion that while Childermass might not want to be touched by Lambert right now, a big, dopey dog with no concerns except whatever innocent doggy thoughts go through his head is a different story.
