"Our dog's adopted a pet," Moist said, manfully holding his tee-shirt closed. The elephant lifted its trunk daintily and playfully swiped him across the face. Moist received a black eye.
"Ow," he grunted, melding with the bark of the tree. "Do you think you can help me out here a little? Look like...look like whatever it is these things eat. You're fast. You're young. Ohmygod, it's trying to eat me. Duo."
Trying to push away the head of an inquisitive neonatal elephant was about as effective as, say, digging out of an A-M prison with only a spoon and a lot of hope to help you.
"Hey now," Duo said, walking over and grabbing the elephant's trunk, breaking into a grin as the grey appendage snaked up his arm.
"I- he's mine, only I get to do- hey," he said again, laughing a little. The elephant made a small trumpet, which set Zwerg into an odd, loping, jumping-about sort of dance of excitement.
"Oh my god, it's a fucking elephant," Duo said, petting one of the animal's ears. "This is so cool."
"It's a baby," Moist pointed out, scooping up Zwerg, who licked his chin before leaping (with, admittedly, remarkable aim) onto the elephant's back, and with some industrious scrambling, then neck. Eventually, he flopped over the beast's forehead, looking proud of himself.
"Which makes Zwerg a...kidnapper. Which means that, somewhere, there's a version of this that's - and this is important - much bigger and probably very upset."

"...What are you doing," he said, eyes large and wide and round, gaze flickering between their baby puppy and the elephant and his husband.
