As Rafael lifted his hand to show it to Bolo, the small near nonexistent pupils within the large optical array focused down upon it to the best of the canine's ability. It was a bit awkward looking at something so small that was so close to his snout, it a bit hard to make out the details... but he understood the motion still for what it was, and let the hand place down onto the cool metal.
The plating of his snout was roughed and a bit uneven. It wasn’t out of any intentional texture however, there was no pattern or rhythm to the discrepancies, but it was there. Small dings, small scrapes, tiny marks that had been mended once upon a time. The nose spent a lot of time near things, and acted as a means for Bolo to move some things around. This wear and tear was well apparent here, the outer shell protecting the inner mesh that was otherwise untouched save for some light staining on the black material.
The 'no' seemed to make Bolo pause more however, holding still while he tried to understand what was being discussed exactly. The intricacies of what Raf was saying, was lost to the canine. He understood 'no' and 'wrong' and 'hello', he also recognized 'tricks' and he thought he knew the word 'rude' but that one was a bit harder for him. He only really heard that if he was too excited and jumped on someone, and he hadn't done that right now. It didn’t sound like he was being spoken to though, so he didn’t try to figure out the words too hard, ears twitching a bit as the human's hand moved against his nose more.
More piecemeal words, but he did recognize 'amazing' somewhat, as it was often accompanied by praise. This boosted a bit of pride, trying to keep up with what was being spoken of, which... things dissolved away to a lot of terms he frankly just had no clue over, up until the 'good boy' which he definitely seemed to know.
This praise, made Bolo wiggle slightly, as if wanting to wag a tail that he didn't have. It was subdued though, anxiously contained, more of a vibration in a way, since he was a bit nervous not knowing how fragile the kids were. With this excited expression, his mouth seemed to open up slightly. A subtle motion, trying to smile perhaps, it was hard to say with no 'lips' to show as fact. This exposed teeth that lay within the clamped mouth, but they were matte and seemed dulled, not a shiny film of metal, but looked more like rubber instead. After this smile, and his little greeting to Raf, Bolo turned then to sniff at Miko, the one he hasn't got to really meet yet.
The action was near identical to the one done to Raf a moment prior, a large snout rising up to settle before her, only to take in a heavy deep breath of air. He processed her scent, just as he did the smaller one, trying to catalog it into his processor to be able to reference later if he had to. However, unlike with Raf, there was a brief pause where Bolo went still...
Only to sneeze.
A huge whuff of air shot out over the two humans, a heavy 'kkhagh!' accompanying it as Bolo's mouth gaped open momentarily. It was more noise and bluster though than anything else however, no snot flying out to cover them and make an unpleasant experience. As if it never happened, Bolo would lean back down to sniff at Miko again and try to continue the greeting.
