"I agree" he nodded. "What do you eat"

"bugs. berries. flowers. fabric, if i find good."

Nikias wrote that down, "I might have some fruit in the fridge if you get hungry"

"Good for now. Ate earlier. Lilac color again?" He asked, looking up at the lights.

Nikias turned the lights back on. "Your very interesting."

"Hmm?" He said. "Interesting. Is that like monster, weirdo, or killit? People have called me that before."

"No, as in, something I would keep close and protect. I collect interesting things" He motioned to a glass box that had a two headed snake in it, alive. "I try to keep them alive, but normally… they die from complications that come from what makes them interesting"

"oh- that thing could eat me twice-" Ash said, staying at it. "Fascinating."

"Yeah" he chuckled and reached into the box, picking up the snake. "It is poisonous, so I wouldn't touch it if I were you. but you can look at it."

Ash walked slightly closer. "Does it have two stomachs? If one eats all the food, will the other starve?"

"I don't know, once it dies I'll dissect it and figure it out. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't"

"Cool. When does the big light come up? I need to head back before." Ash said, looking around for a window.

"the sun? why do you need to head back?" He asked setting the snake back in its enclosure.

"Too bright! hurt. Sleep when bright light."

"ah, where do you go?" he asked as he closed the box.

"Home. cave. dark there." he said, sitting on the floor.

"would you like to stay here? there is no windows for the big light to come through, only my lights I turn on" he offered.

"No, need to see friends and get small soft thing." He said, not knowing the correct word for his plushie.

"ah, you have friends, are they like you?" he asked, checking the time.

"No. smaller. more legs. they dont glow."

"ah, well I guess you should be going now, I have to work in a few hours anyway. " He led the way back up the stairs.

"okay! can i come back and see the pretty lights tomorrow?" Ask asked, following him.

"yes, anytime you would like" he led Ash to the exit.

Ash smiled. "Okay! bye!" He said, walking out, smiling. He flew to his cave, where he met up with a colony of regular moths, grabbed his stuffed bunny, and got ready to sleep, happy that he made a friend.

Nikias went back to his basement, sitting on his desk and finishing his sketch of the creature he had met, also finishing his notes.
