December 5th

The park was full of people, and they didn't notice the young girl, holding a Labrador puppy in her arms. She was unassuming and no one would take her for anything but a little girl. Despite the fact that she was, in fact, a goddess.

Reiya sighed, hugging little Fenrir to her with a deep sigh. Despite being in this form now, she did know who and what she was. She liked to play the little girl sometimes, though not often anymore. It had been disheartening to realize that even with Loki in his true form, he still didn't want her the way she wanted him.

She'd been feeling depressed and had run into Fenrir, who had been stalking a cat. It had been funny at first, but then she admonished him for it. She loved cats and certainly didn't want to see any get hurt because Fenrir wanted to play.

Fenrir had given in and now he sat with her on a bench, accepting morsels of food from her. "You're sad, why?" He nibbled on the piece of pastry she held, his black eyes looking up at her earnestly.

Reiya smiled and shrugged. "Why am I always sad? You'd think I'd be able to compete against some human."

"You shouldn't try," Fenrir said surprisingly and she arched an eyebrow upwards. "You shouldn't have to degrade yourself that way, my lady."

Reiya smiled and shimmered, returning to her original form of Freya. No one seemed to notice the young girl was gone, replaced by a beautiful woman. "You are kind to say so, Fenrir. I suppose it is rather childish of me to chase after your father that way. He is obviously old enough to make his own decisions."

"Yep and so are you," Fenrir said than surprisingly, he licked her face. She blinked, and then a soft blush creeped over her cheeks. It was the canine equivalent of a kiss and she didn't mistake it as anything other than that.

"I like you, Fenrir. What say we forget Loki and Mayura and have fun on our own?" she suggested. They'd seen the pair ice skating earlier and that had been what upset her so much.

Fenrir winked and jumped off her lap. "Sure, though I think I might change for that."

"Change?" she blinked and then cooed. "Oooo…yes please. I've always wanted to see your human self."

Fenrir just winked.
