"So, you gonna name him?" Leo called from the kitchen.

Tala had of course been thinking about it, but she wasn't sure yet. She looked at the fox a little more intently before she decided. "I think I'll call him Hobbit," she said. "Do you like that name, Hobbit?"

The fox seemed to immediately show distaste in the name and growled at Tala.

"Fine, fine," she said, a little sad that her first choice was rejected. "If you're not fond of that, how about 'Jack'? You look like a Jack, don't you?"

The fox didn't respond but instead chased and attacked his tail all around the room.
