Chapter 41: Friend of the AnimalsRhevi is all set to hold an enormous grudge, when the phone rings the day after Rhalden and Jaydeep's wedding.
Rhevi: "Aren't you supposed to be enjoying your honeymoon? What are you doing calling
me?"
Rhalden: "I just feel awful about yesterday and want to apologize. Even Jax thought I took things too far. Still, you were out of line with that toast."
Rhevi's heart melts. "I know. I'm sorry too."
She takes a moment to ponder it over and has to admit, when it comes to her emotions, she doesn't always have the
best control.
Perhaps it's time to set aside her beef with Jaydeep and find a more appropriate outlet for her machinations.
A little help from mediator Kalanea - okay, well, a lot - and their relationship slowly starts to turn around.
Speaking of melting hearts, another alien abduction results in an adorable new addition to the household: Moco.
He gets along swimmingly with Nephentes.
And (
much to this Watcher's disappointment), they produce two perfectly ordinary looking puppies.
After being sufficiently trained and loved on, Moco and his children are sent to live with a friend of the family.
Rhevi fosters a couple of pooches,
Finally earns the dog lover trait,
Gets to know Jax's dogs (who he keeps adopting instead of having children!),
And even gets acquainted with a couple of ghostly types.
Aspiration: achieved!
In other news, Morgaine tops the criminal career.
She's also the one to put the fire out when Arleth's ghost starts a fire. That's right, the self-sufficiency N.A.P. has unfortunately been voted back in by the community.
Still, any opportunity to connect is a welcome boon.
Kalanea gets a spiffy new skill room.
.
And starts a career as a charity organizer to champion environmental causes after finishing up the gardening career.
Loario becomes Mr. Solar System and achieves the bodybuilder aspiration to boot.
In closing, Rhevi finishes leveling the robotics skill with a perfectly timed bonk to the noggin.

Notes: While I am eager to see Jax produce some green offspring, I thoughtlessly gave him the Dog Lover trait. Accordingly, every time the family suggests he "expand the family" he just . . . adopts another dog.
The dog Moco is "Cute Alien Pet" by Natala.
