surprised by how much he likes that, and pushes into the man's hand. He did not smell like death, or the Underworld...and was not likely to be his King.

's tail wags, unable to help it. He barks, and manages to lick Alfred's hand...and pauses. That was strange. Did not taste human in the slightest. Didn't smell human, now that he thought about it.

starts to sniff him a little more, running around him a little.

....wonders if lunch is alive. He tilts his head, watching the other expectantly.

barks at him, turning away from the meat. It was definitely dead...

isn't a puppy. He stares at Alfred like he's absolutely ridiculous.

leans into the touch, back leg twitching in happiness. He wondered if he could get more humans to scratch him this way...

barks happily, nuzzling his hand.

licks his face. He wonders if this man can help him find his King...he doubts it though.

isn't hungry, really. But he perks up, and goes to bound after a squirrel. He's already eaten, and so it's more playful than anything.

slips behind a tree, and shifts back into his human form. It was fairly late out, and there weren't that many people to see. Not that he couldn't eat the ones that did. "I wouldn't call myself pretty..."

leans forward, bumping his nose against Alfred's jaw much like he did when he was a dog. "As I've said, I'm not pretty. Handsome, maybe. But whether in human or dog form, pretty tends to be for cute bellas."

huffs softly. "If you saw my real form, you wouldn't call me a puppy either."

leans into the touch, still liking it quite a bit. "But I'm centuries upon centuries old. Older than all these humans."

he's supposed to be scary... "Handsome like a puppy?" Well, he doesn't mind if this...being calls him handsome. He's certainly handsome himself. "You don't smell human. What are you?"

about that for a moment. Hm.. "Okay." That smelled about right.

only mildly surprised the other can read his thoughts. But when you have to put up with someone as...batshit as Zeus, he isn't surprised by much anymore. "No. Just different." He leans against Alfred's hand,_

_enjoying the petting in this form just as much.

hums, contently. He was only really in a good mood due to the petting. "No. Not really.."

supposes he is. "I like when you pet me."

could probably stand here like this for a long time, so long as the other continued. "Do you have a pet?"

hums. "I guess. I've never had a pet."

grins at that, all sharp teeth and canines. "A rather large dog, with two extra heads. But si."

hums. "I suppose...Hades' pet. I'm more like a guard dog than a pet, though."

blinks, realising what he's doing. "We're more fierce." He opens his mouth to let the other see his teeth.

to fight the urge to bite off his hand...or at least, finger. "Is it?"

him an odd look. "It's attractive?" They were basically meant to rip things...usually humans, limb from limb.

supposes...he'll take the compliment. "Grazie...I'd say something about you, but you seem fairly human...except for the eyes, and antennae."
