It was 3 days later and he had contacted his new landlord about the procedure. They were very welcoming and offered him an appointment at their office. This is where Dan was now.
"Welcome Mr. Feyrer, may I call you Dan?" a peppy young representative of Theriapartments called out to him. She was what Dan thought an antelope furry would look like. She had wide hips and brown fur. Most noticably on her head there were the long horns. Her casual top revealed some different colored fur patters and her mid length skirt had an opening at the back for a short tail.
"Uh, sure." he said unsure how to act around one of the first anthros he's talked to.
"Great! I'm Pheobe, the Theriapartments representative for your apartment complex. It's great that you've chosen to remain our tenant! I hope we can guide you into a new wild life!" she exuded marketing talk, but her excited personally was somewhat infectious.
"So umm, how does this procedure go? I'll be honest, I'm not particularly looking forward to it."
"Great question! And I'm sorry to hear you are not especially enthusiastic, but we at Theriapartments welcome anyone who is willing to embrace their true nature, even if they don't know it yet." she beamed at him, overpowering any of his concerns with positivity, and continued. "we have multiple options of free procedures from in-house medical professionals. The other options are paid procedures from approved medical facilities. In case of the latter we can offer a loan and integrated payment plans into the lease agreement."
"Oh, there are free options?" Dan was surprised. He had read online that these procedures could cost thousands of dollars, but it was still just a few months rent, so in the long term he'd still be far cheaper off with them.
"Yes! We are working in conjunction with a research institute, so if you are willing to participate in a medical study, we can fully cover cost."
Dan continued talking to the spirited antelope girl for a while longer, but in the end they decided he'd contact them about the type of procedure he'd undergo.
