finding a wounded dog

Cait: “We don’t have time to waste. We need to keep moving on.”

“I know, Cait.” Sole knelt down and pulled a stimpak from their bag.

“We don’t have stimpaks to waste, either. One of us is going to need that.”

“I know, Cait.”

“You’re not even listening. You’re just repeating the same words to acknowledge I’m speaking without hearin’ the words.”

“I know, Cait.”

She threw her hands up in dismay. “I don’t know why I bother.”

“Cait, look.” Sole gestured to the dog who was now on her feet, jumping up to try to lick their face. “Look at how happy she is. We did something good.”

Cait sighed heavily. “Yeah, okay. It is kind of cute.”

Sole absolutely beamed. “I know. Let’s keep her.”

“Well, if you’re gonna keep her, you ought to name her.”

“Any suggestions?”

She frowned in concentration. “Scrapper.”

“I like it. It’s tough, like her. Also, like you, and I like you.”

Cait flushed. “Come on, then. Let’s get back to Sanctuary.”

Scrapper trailed them home.

Codsworth: “Oh, dear. We can’t just leave the poor thing here to die.”

Sole nodded vehemently, already searching for a stimpak in their bag. “I agree.”

Codsworth hovered nearby as sole gently administered the medicine, fretting about the animal’s condition. Thankfully, she was on her feet in no time, albeit a little unsteadily.

“Most excellent work, mum/sir. I think she’s right happy to have your help.”

“You think?” Sole reached down to scratch the dog’s ears. “What should we name her.”

Codsworth searched for a good name. “How about Lady?”

“Like, from ‘The Lady and the Tramp’? I loved that movie as a kid. I watched it a lot.”

“As I recall, young Shaun saw it more than once as well.”

Sole nodded, distantly. “We were gonna get a dog when he was older. A best buddy for him, you know? Teach him responsibility, how to care for something besides himself, the like. We read about it in some parenting book or another.”

“I remember.” He floated a little closer. “Don’t worry, mum/sir. We’ll find young Shaun eventually. We just need to have patience and stay hopeful. Now, why don’t we take Lady to the nearest settlement?”

Sole nodded again, eyes still far away. “Starlight Drive In isn’t far. We’ll take her there.”

Away they went.

Curie: “Oh, mon dieu! Zhis is not good. Not good at all.”

Curie dug through her pockets for a stimpak, hands shaking. Sole silently handed her one of their own from their bag, and she carefully applied it before turning back to them.

“Merci, merci. It is important to help those in need, no?”

“You’re right, Curie. Good eyes to spot her laying here.”

She nodded, stroking the dogs head. She scooted closer and into a better position to receive the affection. “Perhaps we should keep her?”

Sole nodded. “Sure, if you want. Would you like to pick a name?”
