Firlefanz, 
#WordWeavers 30: Does your MC have any pets? If so, what are they?
No, Sun doesn't have any pets. They were not allowed, not deemed useful or necessary for his House in any way.
And after he gets out, he doesn't have the time or energy to care for a pet, he's just trying to stay alive, which is hard enough.
I will admit to giving him a pet at the very end of the story. Not spoiling this, though.
