Curt wouldn’t have predicted that something else was going to happen until she jumped at him and gave him a tight hug. Almost instantly, he wrapped his arms around her and returned the hug. A hug… a hug felt so nice and she smelled divine. A small sigh left Curt when they let go. “Don’t worry about it.” He said with a nod as they began to gather up the things that he needed.

Despite her getting pulled away from him on more than one occasion he was okay with it. By the time they were finally finished almost every animal was gone and the crew was finishing up with the last few. Soon they would all be adopted. She presented him his two dogs and his things while he paid for everything in the human cash. Taking the leaches, the dogs seemed to be ready to go, jumping back and forth and braking happily. 

“Alyssa, there is something else I need to talk to you about but I’d rather do it in private. If you get some free time please come by my home.” With that he gave her a bright smile and a nod. “Thanks again, take care.” With that and his things, along with the dogs, he walked outside. Once out of sight, he gathered up the dogs in his arms and flew back towards the mansion at lightning speed. 

It was surprising how well the other gods came to like the animals and they were greeted with open arms. The weekend rolled around and the Gods were pressuring him to get Alyssa to the mansion so they could talk to her. “Give her time. We can’t pressure her into anything or she won’t help us. Just let me talk to her.” At that he took the animals into the front year and proceeded to play fetch with them laughing all the while.
