Chapter 16: The Name That Wagged Its Tail
"Uhhh..."
Seraphina raised a brow. "That doesn’t sound like a name."
"It could be!" Evelisse protested weakly. "Uhhh... the Ancient Summoner of Fluff?"
"I don’t think anyone’s buying that." Fluffy deadpanned with a shake of the head.
Seraphina laughed softly, eyes twinkling. "I think we can do better."
’Do better, I don’t think that’s in my thinking description.’ Evelisse thought with a panic.
Evelisse lowered her eyes to the tiny creature nestled in her lap. The pup let out a quiet sigh and twitched one ear in its sleep. The fluff was unreal—soft enough to make clouds jealous. Its tiny snout scrunched adorably as it yawned again and tucked itself deeper into her gown like a marshmallow seeking warmth. All innocent and trusting, completely unaware that she was currently undergoing a level-five internal naming crisis.
’Why does this feel like naming a royal heir instead of a furball with four jellybean toes?!’
Fluffy crossed his paws midair and smirked. "Any day now, Your Highness."
’Okay. No pressure. Just naming a living creature. That’ll be your best friend. Who might imprint on you forever. And who looks at you like you’re the center of its universe.’
Her brain kicked into overdrive.
