Yes, Trinket. I quite enjoy him as well. Animals always have the most wonderful perspective on the world, I've found, and he's such a bright spot of hope and love. There's true enduring goodness there.
Averting the apocalypse seems to be an all too familiar call. Villians always want to bring about the end of existence - or such a violent change that it may as well be the end.

Marquet is hot and dry with strong winds and rare rains, but plentiful oases and long winding rivers. Heavy spices, sweet fruits, and enduring people. The mountains are dark places - places I've always preferred not to go - but there's life there as well. We trade in wines, tapestries, unique spices and woods, and a few metals and gems. Ank'harel specializes in brass and sapphires, Sandkheg ale, and a rare spice, Fusaka.
