Valkyrie smiled up at the king, patting him on the arm. "See that's how we know you're a good king. Well that and your ruling practices but based on how you'll outlaw animal abandonment I think you'll be grand."

Her eyes enlarged with taking in the sights, all of them adorable little mutts who just needed a chance. Like people.
"All of them." She murmured in response to Thor's question.
