[Ack, no! You weren't supposed to go back in there, dammit! Fine. He'll just...pet Cham-P instead then. Since he's the only one still sticking around. What have you been getting up to on his shoulder anyway, big guy?]
So can you just tap anything or does it have to be something they're close to? They didn't do anything when you tapped your shoulder.
[He actually kind of dozed off there. He jumps a tiny bit at the initial petting, but oh hey please continue.]
The closer to them you tap, the better if they cannot see your fingers. They need to be able to hear the sound and on certain surfaces, such as with clothing, that sound can be muffled. Should your fingers be in their line of sight, you can generally lead them with the simple gesture of tapping alone as well, even if it does not make a sound.
If they are further away from you, such as across the room, other techniques should be employed to be sure they will come to you.
[Hello San-D. Hamdad is glad to see you and is giving you a copious amount of pets and gentle finger scratching while you are here.]
