Moon comes to the door, her arms fully of three-week old grey-brown fluffness and knocks.
Mare is by her side, eyes moving between the door and the puppy. The puppy, it should be said, looks like he is not two weeks old, but more like six. He's big and alert and quite happy, squirming in Moon's arms.
She'd promised Indy the puppy, and when she'd seen the little boy among the litter, she'd known this guy was the one meant for Indy.
Moon waits with a big smile on her face, giggling quietly as the puppy licks her chin and nips playfully on occasion.

"He's two weeks old now. Mons was more willing to let the puppies out of her sight."
She giggles.
"He needs a name."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 04:53 am (UTC)He's brought back to the here and now by the mere mention of the word NAME.
"South Dakota Smith!"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 04:57 am (UTC)"He does need a name. I think I'm gonna have to get to know him and judge his personality first though."
"You got any ideas so far, from the time you've spent with him?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:03 am (UTC)"I tend to name things after heavenly bodies," she says. "Like... Rigel... Polaris... Merope... or Dorado."
She eyes the grey-brown puppy.
"Rigel is nice. But I'm a moon-girl," Moon says with a giggle and looks up at Indy. "So my choices are... unusual."

Date: 2007-06-22 05:17 am (UTC)"He's not a Chet... or a sound effect... or a Random State Common Surname."
Sternly, "hand over the puppy."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:18 am (UTC)"Does this mean that Smeeeesh is out of the question too?"
Dejected, Mike hands the puppy over.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:21 am (UTC)She tickles the puppy's feet so he squirms in Indy's hands.
"And Chet sounds like what someone does when they sneeze."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:28 am (UTC)"Smeeesh is the sound someone makes when they crash through a window," he reveals, handling the puppy adeptly, even with the bonus squirming. "In comics."
"And Chet's is the name of Raph's favorite pizza shop." As well as every other Italian run shop in their New York.
"Both very bad names."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:31 am (UTC)"You're one to talk..."
His eyes narrow.
"...Junior."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:33 am (UTC)"Well," she finally says. "Since you named yourself after your dog, maybe you should name the wolf after you?"
See?
She's helpful!
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:38 am (UTC)"Another Indiana? Or Henry Jones the Third?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:39 am (UTC)Mike offers helpfully. Well it's a very smug version of helpful anyways...
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 05:44 am (UTC)"What he said."
Cue the cute grinning.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 04:53 pm (UTC)"No."
He pulls the puppy to his chest protectively and wanders into the living room.
"Don't worry, lad. I won't let those two conspirators give you a crappy name. And I promise I won't invite Aunt Alanna's input either."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-22 09:13 pm (UTC)Mike turns to Moon, his face all aglow with mischief.
"I really am going to teach that puppy the words to Henry the Eighth I am you know that right?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-24 06:15 am (UTC)She then looks at Indy.
"I like Rigel, but he isn't mine," she says with a grin. "He's yours. And, I think, Mike's in some weird way. Will Stampy like him?"
no subject
Date: 2007-06-24 06:56 am (UTC)"She gets on great with mom and dad," Indy says offhandedly, after a suspicious glance is aimed at Mike, and then Moon. "They'll be fine."
He doesn't know what they're talking about, never having heard the rhyme. Nor can he really argue that about the custody issue, since pets are pretty much 'shared family charges' if Stampy is anything to go by.
"Rigel's okay," he then tells Moon. "I think we can do better though. Something a bit more macho, and... earthy."
no subject
Date: 2007-06-27 03:14 am (UTC)"Rocky? Doug? Phil?"
Why yes, Mike is in fact working his way through his, What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs... joke pool, why do you ask?
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 05:47 am (UTC)She shows this by laughing again, quietly, behind her hand.
"Phil? I don't think he's a Phil." Then she turns to Indy. "And more macho? You are such a guy!" Moon lightly bats Indy's forehead. "But I like you enough that I can forgive that."
no subject
Date: 2007-07-29 06:19 am (UTC)"Stop. Just... stop."
He stoops and places the puppy down on the carpet. There's a slight wince as his recent leg wound protests the strain, but he stays hunkered to observe the cub at close quarters.
"As for you," he asides to Moon, "watch it." He reaches up without taking his eyes off the wolf, and idly swats her butt. "Macho's my thing. You should be appreciatin' it, not forgivin' it."
The cub, for his part, makes a beeline for Stampy's hiding place, very curious about the wiggling thing protruding from the foliage. Before long, a wet wolf nose meets the tip of a miniature elephant trunk. And a suspenseful pause in sniffing and snuffling occurs...
no subject
Date: 2007-07-31 06:31 pm (UTC)Think Flowbee without any actual fur loss.
no subject
Date: 2007-07-31 06:38 pm (UTC)Which isn't a very good one.
Then she grins as she watches Stampy and the yet-unnamed pup. "A perfect pair," she says with a giggle. "Although, not-yet-macholy-named-puppy might give Stampy a run for her money before long, wanting to chase and pounce her."
no subject
Date: 2007-07-31 07:50 pm (UTC)He looks to his room-mate for confirmation.
"Right, Mikey?"
Meanwhile, the pup doesn't quite know what to make of this wriggly worm-thing that's making a very thorough olfactory inspection of him. He sits back on his haunches and tilts his head to one side.
Then decides to take a closer look.
He scrabbles up the side of the plant pot and onto the soil, then half-springs half-blunders through the vegetation, aiming at whatever's beyond.
no subject
Date: 2007-08-01 04:37 am (UTC)"Oh, I'm sorry. Am I allowed to talk again?"
A quick trumpet of alarm comes from within the deep recesses of the potted plant. The walls! They're being breeched! Battle stations!
Of course this being Stampy it really sounds a bit more like: Warning! Bicycle passing on your right.
