Lou's birth name was Ruby before it changed into Lou when he was fully grown up, right? The ruby is a red gemstone, which is Lou's favorite gemstone when he was still a baby dragon and the origin of his birth name.
I noticed that out of all the characters in the story, only Ian has the ruby eyes, which is Lou's favorite gemstones.
Love the details.
