Tava was nervous. Today was the day her Human Integration partner was coming. She would already be anxious enough about that, but her previous designated human, the one she spent a week chatting with and getting used to by starting at photos, dropped out at the last moment - something health related.

She got the news yesterday, and, since yesterday, she was busy preparing. She didn't know how old the child was, nor how to care for human children - what they ate, what they knew, if they where toilet train... So she bough EVERYTHING. Diapers, formula, baby bottles, education books (maybe she could teach the child venlil language?), covers, clothes. Of course everything sized up - to account for the size disparity between venlil pups and human children. All this stuff was laying in the corner, as she paced around the room, waiting for anyone to contact her
