Murphy's just amused as shit at all of it. He might have invited them over with this sort of thing in mind, actually, but good luck getting him to admit it. Still, he does go and scoop up the three puppies annoying Walter. It's a big squirmy armful he regrets but they see something new, and they won't give up. He leaves the little black one with Caro.
Of course, it's about when he's moving to put the puppies back in the kitchen behind a gate when there's some very loud footfalls from upstairs.
"Go back to bed, Charlie." He calls out at something short of a bellow, but it's useless. He can hear the 8 year old barreling down the stairs already.
Not a moment later, and the kid's in the entry way in his pajamas, smiling brightly at Walter and Caro.He's both very cheerful and wide awake, apparently.
"Hi!" Caro gets the first greeting from Charlie before he turns to the still-frowning Walter. The man's gruffness is not even a problem for the kid, he just grins up at him and especially at the kitten he's holding. "Hi Uncle Walter! Is that your kitty?"
