At the rate his heart had been beating at since her kiss, it must have felt as though it were about jump out of his chest at any minute to the goddess. Had Genie not restrained himself, it probably would have- though in a more comedic fashion than appalling one.

He smiled at her words, admittedly never had expected such a reaction himself. He was unsure how he felt by her kiss, other than surprised, but as far as thanks went, Urd’s company was all Genie felt he ever needed. For everything he had done, and everything he would, her smile was more than reward enough. He could not think of anything else. After all, Genie had spent so long granting others wishes without anything in reward, he had come expect it. He could not imagine asking her for anything...

In the now demolished kitchen, Genie stood facing the kitchen’s entrance which the goddess had passed through, his gaze distant. He gave a small wave, long after the goddess has left. Behind him, the cupboard door that had once hung off its hinges fell to the floor, the noise enough to wake him from his distant state. “What a woman!” he suddenly cried out before he transformed into a wolf and let out a long, loud, howl.
