Jon looks at Lark and makes a quizzical sound before nosing into the cracked door and sniffing a few times before pulling his nose out and giving another confused noise at Lark.
Jon will learn there are certain sounds and certain twitches of motion--the ear here, the tail there--that mean specific things. The first one he tries to teach him is the soft, huff, not-quite-a-bark that means food.
Then he leads him out into the hall and stays close, watching him as they move to the stairwell and on to the cafeteria.
He catches on; whether that's from remembering or Knowing from before all the times they were together while he was on four feet instead of two. Jon follows amiably enough, still sort of vibrating, but clearly focusing it on moving in place instead of zipping around immediately. He's much more high energy than Warren was, clearly excited, clearly curious like nothing else, but he's used to containing his feelings on that score.
...or more precisely, knowing how to keep them localized.
Once they're moving, though, he's moving. There's a few little hops and bounces and returns to Lark and vocalizations that are more tone than any meaning of word or phrase. They translate, roughly, to 'asking a million questions and excited about everything'.
Lark watches him, mouth hanging open and tongue lolling in a wolfy smile. Most of those questions can only be answered by experience, so he takes him to the kitchen where his nose will have to calibrate to four hundred thousand different smells, to chemicals he's never been able to detect before because human and humanoid bodies typically don't have the sense organs for it.

But there's so much. And he feels like he just opened the door of his mind to a whole new ocean. It's amazing.
