[ It wasn't just the smell that pinged Jake's mind as he unfolded the paper with his paws, nosing at the cipher and its code. Who else on this ship would shove homework under his door and run back off into the night again? Yujin was a lot of things, but the thing Jake enjoyed most was this kinda thing. You'd never know it to look at the man, but he had a real flair for dramatics.
It takes Jake longer than most to puzzle out the message, settled on Finn's bed as he traces a paw along it. In the second it took for his eyes to travel from the note to the cipher, Jake could only half remember which man he was supposed to be looking for. But he loved language, always had. Letters, characters, glyphs, little dancing dudes -- they were all just shapes. And shapes were Jake's business.
Well done, Jake. It was practically encoded into his DNA to wag his tail at the praise, though the compliment came through with a bittersweet edge and that instinctual enthusiasm flags quickly. Jake studies the cipher a few minutes longer, memorizing a message of his own before taking a deep whiff of the note and hopping off the bed.
It doesn't take him long to reach Yujin's quarters; door locked, of course. That was hardly an inhibitor for Jake, but he still knocks once before stretching a paw through the impossibly tiny crack in the door. On the other side, his flesh stretches into the message he'd studied before coming. ]
