it's a little thing called puppy love

Raleigh had told her about the strange boxes that arrived now and then for people without warning or clue as to who sent them. It was in one of those boxes that he had gotten his cat and she knew that Margaery had gotten her puppy the same way. Sansa didn't consider that it might be possible she would get a box of her own, though.

So imagine her surprise when she stepped outside with the intention of going for an early morning walk only to stop at the sight of a box sitting on the front step. Freezing, her lashes fluttered as she blinked at it and the fact that her name was written rather boldly on the lid. Her lips parted in surprise as she glanced back and considered calling out for someone to come look just in case what she was seeing was a trick of the imagination. Not that she did actually call out. Instead, she turned back to make sure the box was still waiting for her and pressed her lips together when she saw that it hadn't disappeared.

Closing the door gently behind her, she took a careful step closer and then another until she was right in front of the box where she could kneel to get a closer look. She started to reach for the lid when suddenly the box jumped just a little, causing her to jump a little as well. She froze for a second, holding still for a heartbeat or two, before finally opening the box to see what was inside.

The way the box had moved clued her into the fact that there was most likely something living inside but nothing could have prepared her for the sight of a white, fluffy puppy inside. Almost immediately she was cooing as she watched the puppy wriggle in excitement at the sight of her. Then the puppy was doing its best to get out of the box, its back feet scratching against the side as it tried to pull itself up and over in an attempt to get to Sansa.

"Ooh, you little sweetheart." Sansa giggled, reaching in to scoop the puppy out into her arms. Then she sat right there on the front step of her home, giggling again as she tried to avoid the exuberant 'kisses' the puppy was trying to give her face.

Considering that he, too, had a younger sister, Raleigh tries to be cautious about when he shows up around Sansa's house since he knows she lives with one of her brothers. When he sees her out on her porch with a puppy, though, he thinks that's interesting enough that even a brother won't think it's strange that he stops to say hello and he draws up close, kneeling down to see the new little pile of fluff that calls Sansa mom and this place home.

"So, I'm guessing one of the boxes finally showed up for you, huh? I told you it would eventually," he says, grinning wide at her.

"It's definitely a little ball of fluff. You're going to lose it in all in this snow," Raleigh says, grinning at her. It's a very cute dog, Samoyed if he had to ballpark it, and he thinks that's not a bad dog for a area like this. He thinks he ought to try and rig her up a sled; could be useful when the dog is bigger.

"Samoyed, I think. They're sled dogs. Use 'em up in Alaska where I come from, you know. Faster to travel over the snow."

"You could name her Akira. It means bright in Japanese," Raleigh suggests. "It's a language from my world. It's the same language I got Yuki's name from."

It's a beautiful language, actually, and one of his favorites. He watches as the puppy squirms in Sansa's arms and he reaches out, touching one of her silky ears. "She looks like she's going to be a sweet one."

"I can help you train her, if you want. I've had dogs before," Raleigh offers. He doesn't know if Sansa's ever had a dog before, or anything, but he doesn't mind helping her with Akira. If anything, it means they get to spend more time together.

"I've always loved dogs. I used to have them when I was growing up. It's been a while since I've had a chance, though, so it'll be nice to have one to play with again."

Gilbert bounded into the room at the smell of another creature. He circled around Sansa, sniffing at the floor and the air. The sudden scratching having caught his ears. He jumped up, peering inside the box as the two dogs became accustomed to each other.

Not far after him, Margaery paused behind her friend, smiling with surprise. "It seemed you received your first gift." She chuckled, kneeling down so she could pull Gilbert away. "What a lovely surprise!"

Her first gift had been seeds and a spinning wheel. Not that she hadn't been pleased by that.

She knelt beside Sansa, holding out her hand to the puppy, letting her sniff her fingers. "She's lovely. You will have to think of a good name for her."

She had heard the stories about what had happened to Sansa's direwolf (Joffery even bragged about it.) Seeing the delight on her face brought a smile to Margaery's face. All she had ever wanted was her friend's happiness.

"Do you know how to train her?"

[personal profile] thekittenqueen 2016-12-15 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"A lovely name," though one that Margaery can't say she has heard before. "How did you come up with it?" It didn't sound like a name from their world. She would have thought Sansa would have chosen a name from a song.

She had always been able to read Sansa well, even before the later tutelage of Petyr Baelish. She knew the expression Sansa always bore when she had lost her heart to a man, recalling how she was about Loras. It wasn't hard to guess what had happened.

"Who is he?" Margaery asked, lowering her voice in case Robb was about.

While Peggy is hardly a dog person, she's still more than capable of admiring the ones that other people have received here for their pedigree. This one seems to be rather suited to the weather, which makes Peggy smile warmly for the way the young woman reacts to the animal. "He's quite small," she says. "And white! I think you might have a great deal of searching on your hands in the future," she warns as she comes closer to regard the animal.

"It's quite enthusiastic, isn't it?" she observes. "Or perhaps you've got something of a scent on you? Food, perhaps?"

Peggy peers and wonders if there were holes or whether someone had literally just placed the dog here. The animals are what irritates her the most about the unanswered 'who is leaving them' because it has to be someone who's fetching them from somewhere. "I got pigeons, myself, but they were far from this affectionate," she says wryly. "I'm not sure I would've wanted them pecking at me with kisses, though."

She crouches beside the both of them, studying the dog. "Have you got a name in mind yet?"

"Peggy Carter," she responds in turn, arching a brow as she regards the girl. "I'm beginning to think that Stark is, by far, the most common name in this place." She doubts that she's somehow connected to Tony (though you never knew), but it seems more likely that perhaps she knows the others that she's met. "I don't suppose you know a Robb? Or an Arya?" She's come across the both, though the latter had been quite an interesting reaction when she had brought up Robb's name.

Peggy wonders if she's in for that again or if it will perhaps be a touch less confrontational.

"Who's this then?" Robb asked as he made his way up the front walk, sack slung over his shoulder filled with the morning's hunt. It hadn't been as bountiful as he would have liked, but it was easy enough to put those worries aside for the moment at the sight of Sansa's radiantly happy face.

He'd heard about Lady, and it had pained him. If the forces controlling this place saw fit to rectify a bit of that loss, he couldn't be sorry for it, even if it was technically one more mouth feed.

"I suppose she turned up in one of those mystery boxes," Robb said as he stepped forward to scratch the wiggling puppy behind the ears. He couldn't help the way his throat went a bit dry at the feeling of the fur beneath his fingers, but he swallowed quickly against it and returned Sansa's smile. We was glad she had something to make her happy here, something of her own.

"Have you fed her yet? I reckon I've got some things she might be interested in."

"Come on, then," Robb said, motioning Sansa inside. "Let's get you both out of the cold, and I'll see what I've got that might tempt the little one."

In the kitchen, he hefted his pack onto the counter and pointedly opened it where Sansa couldn't see inside. She had grown, it was true, and was a capable lady just as he'd known she always would be, but still he worried about upsetting her.

"I've got some livers and kidneys," he said, sorting through the little bodies in the sack until he found a bound bundle of entrails he'd saved when he'd dressed the rabbits. "Could you fetch a bowl?"
