Adrian glanced at Aria as he heard her words. He was stunned for a moment but shook his head, thinking she didn't mean it that way.
'But, a hedgehog of all creatures? Has my luck run out?'
'But it can talk, though telepathically... It called me and Aria its parents... What a strange turn of events...'
'Whatever, I have a feeling it's not as ordinary as it seems. Even Aria believes that...'
"Then... What should we call you, little one?" Adrian muttered as he cradled the tiny hedgehog in his hands.
The hedgehog blinked up at him with its large, obsidian eyes, clearly not understanding his words. Aria stepped closer, a thoughtful look on her face. She tilted her head slightly, studying the little creature before smiling warmly.
"How about... Noxy?" Aria suggested, her voice gentle and affectionate. "It sounds cute and fitting for him, don't you think? Nox since he was born at night, and Noxy since it is a baby."
