"Why would I do that?" Nimble asked Somnom, sitting back down, his
whole thought about escaping disappearing from his mind. "I'm
having fun with you! Connie usually stuffs me in her pocket like a
doll, but she does have good qualities! Still, I want to stay with
you right now!" Nimble grinned at Somnom.
Somnum paused in her walking to look at Nimble in shock."Are..you
sure?"She asked wary of what he was saying.So many people had told
her they would stay but they ended up leaving anyways.It wouldn't
suprise her none if he left her as well.
"Yep!" Nimble smiled at Somnom. "It's so much fun doing whatever
we're doing!" Nimble crawled across Somnom's shoulder, pulled some
purple hair to the side, and gave her neck a hug. "There! The
closest thing to a real hug I can give!" Nimble chuckled,
embarrassed by his height.
Somnum smiled and then laughed."That's the best hug I have ever
gotten."She then started moving forwards."So tell me what is being
a Bum like?You told me that you guys are mostly happy but I have a
feeling there is more to you then that."
"Well...we all have a specific thing we enjoy collecting from the
trashcans. I enjoy collecting thread, needles, buttons, things you
use to sew. I then make clothing for homeless people. My friend
Dough, picks out the least horrible doughnuts and gives them to
homeless people so they can eat them. Our whole lives revolve
around making sure homeless people have clothing, shelter, and are
not poisoned by food from trashcans." Nimble told Somnom. "It's
fun! Especially seeing their faces! It'd be horrible for one of
them to die because they ate something that had gone bad and was
not good for them. Granted, we put our lives at risk, but...it's
our duty to take care of them." Nimble looked up at Somnom, waiting
for her response.
Somnum nodded her head."I see.So you gather items to make clothes
and your friend Dough serches for Doughnuts to feed the homless.It
sounds nice actually."She smiles a little bit and thinks for a
second."Is there any that like to collect strawberries?"
"Yep! Though...I have no idea where she is! Last I heard she was
heading to some organic strawberry farm!" Nimble sat there deep in
thought. "My other friend Crust, her family, the Yeastuns, collect
pieces of bread. Yep, there's a lot of us! Many people can't see us
though! Only children, homeless people, and other magical creatures
can see us. So...are there a lot of Night Elves?" Nimble wanted to
learn more about the species, Night Elf.
Somnum nodded."There is over a thousand of us.We all have our own
sub-category within our race.I'm know as a Nightmare Night Elf due
to my ability to control Nightmares.Papa and Mama are both
Nightmare Night Elfs as well.I can't remember all of the
sub-catagories there are but I know there is a lot of them."She
looks up as if trying to remember before shaking her head at the
futile attempt.
"Most are but there is a few that is not.We have what known as the
Hell Night Elfs.They are in charge of taking the souls of those
that belong in Hell to Hell.They are the ones that are somewhat
creepy though so if you happen to run into one of them then always
be on your gaurd.They can't always tell the difference between the
dead and living."Somnum said shivering as she thought of her
distant cousin.She made Somnum look like an Angel.
Somnum smiled sadly."It's fine if you feel uncomfortable around my
kind.We are not normally known to be kind people.Though I wish that
was different."She said softly while scuffleing along the
hallway.She was careful not to run into anyone so Nimble wouldn't
fall off.
Somnum smiles."I'm only kind to those I trust I'm afraid."She says
softly while opening the cafeteria door.She then hears her stomach
growl."Well I think that is a sign for me to feed my stomach before
it decides to eat me."She says cracking a small joke.
Nimble chuckled. "Can you place me in that trashcan over there?"
Her stomach was growling so bad, Nimble was vibrating. He had never
felt that shaken up in his life.
"S..Sorry."Somnum said gently picking Nimble up and placing him in
a trash can."I'll be right back."She then runs off to get her
breakfast before coming back over and sitting down against the wall
near the trash can.
Nimble munched on a few crumbs of leftover pancakes, a glob of
syrup, and a few brown pieces of lettuce. "Hey, how's the food?"
Nimble asked Somnom, as he flew up and sat on the rim of the
trashcan.
Somnum looked over at Nimble while she was noming on a
strawberry.That was actually the only food on her plate."Not bad.My
guess is that these are fresh grown strawberries so they taste
really sweet.How was your food?"
