The naming of rats
Who: Lea, Fluttershy, and open for Ka dorm people
When: Early April, a few days after the new people arrive
Where: Outside the great hall for Fluttershy, Ka dorm for everyone else
What: Lea thought he'd gotten rid of his familiar, but the rat came back, and he finally accepts it. Though that means it now needs a name...
Closed to Fluttershy
Lea had been in the library, half working on homework and half trying not to fall asleep, when he felt something tugging on the hem of his coat. Looking down, he saw a familiar looking rat climbing up it and sighed. "I'm really not gonna be able to go familiarless without doing something icky, am I?" he said. The rat looked up at him in a rather pointed way, as if to ask 'what do you think?'
"Alright, fine," he finally said. "You win; I give up. Lemme just find a bulletin board; then I can contact Fluttershy to get your stuff back."
Open to Ka dorm folks
After retrieving his rat's cage, food, and other accessories from Fluttershy, Lea had taken them back to the dorm and was currently sitting on one of the couches in the common room, holding his rat and looking at it thoughtfully. "Guess you're gonna need a name now, huh?", he said. He gave an amused smirk. "I'd call you 'Xigbar', but that would be an insult to rats everywhere."
But what to call him instead though? Lea sat looking at the mostly gray rat in his lap; he'd come up with something eventually, but he'd also be open to suggestions.

no subject
He sighed. "So yeah, it's not that I don't want to be friends or anything, I'm just mad that I was pretty much forced into a situation where I'm bound to be hurt sooner or later, and so was he. Probly be even worse for him, because while I can go back to my regular life, who knows what'll happen with our familiars when we're gone?"
