Pocket Puppy. When Mikoto receives the gift that is, was, and always will be Glint Starmark’s answer to grief, he looks for a name that’ll be just right. His puppy is tiny, just a puffball, really … especially compared to a big guy like Mikoto.

The puppy was a bigger handful than he would have guessed. Not literally, of course. He was more of a scant handful, barely large enough to count as canine. Especially in a village where Kith-partnered battlers rode their dogs.
The girls had been quick to suggest names. All of them cutesy. But Mikoto firmly rejected them. He wasn’t leaving something so important to them. Plus, he’d wanted a name with more dignity. Which had brought Yulin to mind. And then the name was suddenly there and perfectly right. A doggish name that was already an endearment. Noble.

FORTHRIGHT 
Noble is such a doggish name and SO much better than anything cutesy (like a mini Yorkshire terrier I knew that the owner called Fang. A lot less embarrassing to call out on dog walks than Fluffy or Cutey! Fang got respect 😎)
Still can’t get over how TINY Noble is, though. Utterly adorable 🥰
