"Hey Bulb, whatcha doin?" He waves, glowing slightly brighter and turns back to the space abyss.

"Looking back at space, huh?" She strides over and sits down next to him, watching the gaseous sky twinkle rivers of colors and stars.

"Well, do you plans on doing anything else?" He looks over, emblem facing her. His fingers sign out: eye, touch, animal.

"Of course you would want to that. Last time we did that, we almost got trampled to death." Quickly, he waved his hands and signed out sorry. She sighs and grabs his hands with one of hers to silence him. "I know you're sorry, I know. It's alright, I enjoyed it, I'm not gonna lie."

Bulb symbolically sighs in relief with a forward head jolt. She cracks a grin, letting go of his metal fingers. "Do you have your journal ready?" He nods his head immediately, his bulb glowing brighter.

"Hmmm I don't know man, you don't seem to making any sound," She nudges at him playfully and smirks. "Maybe you should of had a bell installed so I can tell if you're actually excited or lying." His grew bright as he folded his arms and looked away from her, his imaginary chin & nose up and their bulb head tightly between his shoulders. "Awww you're trying to pouttttt~ So cuteeee~"

He shakes his head rapidly, light brightly flashing and messily signing out an angry message. Quickly, Fae shields her eyes & leans away before raising a open hand as a symbol of her surrender.

"Easy now- easy! Easy Bulb! You know I can't understand you like that- also you're blinding me!" He curtly nods, knowing very well of his effect and goes back to pouting, "looking" away from Fae.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry. Now where did you want to go today?"

His light dampens to normal, allowing Fae to see again and let down her guard. When she does, he lifts his pointer finger up as he has an idea.

- _ - _ -

Quietly as possible, they crouch low to the ground as they duck walk pass the trunks & shrubbery. Fae frowning as she remarks to her lightheaded friend. "This is stupid idea Bulb, and the most painful."

His metallic finger is pressed against her mouth, Bulb's glow dampens. She, of course, removes them and blows hair strains out of her face. "You're hands are cold Bulb, and what's-"

He shoves a hand to her mouth and uses the other to drag her up to the view. She gasps and slowly pulls down his hand, taking in the view. She glances over to Bulb, seeing his imaginary wide eyes and smiles.

"Luffians, this world's most magical creatures... Heh... They glow just like you Bulb." He nods rapidly, before turning his sights back on the prancing creatures. He leans forward on the bush, taking in their anatomy and playful nature. Bushes of soft illuminating fur coated their heads and bodies & ankles, large joyful eyes of purity stared around with their light coral skin.

In his mind, he smiled. He reaches out subconsciously, -could their coats be as soft yet weightless as described in the books- and falls flat on his lightbulb; alerting the alluring creatures of them. Fae quickly grabs Bulb's arm and pivots to the opposite direction. "Oh shit-welp lets get going Bulb-!"

Bulb pulls away from her harshly, forcing them both to fall flat on the ground. Above them now stood a few luffians whom cocked their heads to the side and sniffed them. One sniffed the lightbulb and sneezed, flying back a few meters and giving Bulb a small shock. He touches where he was shocked and rubs it, his light flashing in amusement. Their nose buzzes as they rose up unbalanced and sneezed again, sending a bolt of electricity to the ground.

"Holy shit..." The luffians crowding the duo shift their focus to them.

"Uh-Uh we mean no harm..!" Bulb stands up, revealing his stature. The creatures stare at them, and some walk a few steps closer. "Bulb..! You don't know if they're deadly! Well to you anyways- but still!"

Nonsense, Bulb signs as he waves her off and walks in the middle of the luffian batch. They surround him as he sits down, crisscross applesauce. The initial luffian bounces over and snuggles into his side, rubbing itself all over his dress. Slowly, another approaches and sniffs his fingers. Bulb reaches above its head & lightly scratches it.

He beamed brighter than he had before (well with one exception), blinding Fae; who yelped as she fell back into the bush. He didn't notice as he was in bliss- it was truly true about the luffians coats. The luffian purred loudly, leaning into his hand completely.

Alluring, more came closer to him, some laid down to soak in the light, others continued to feed on the weeds & weed-fruits. His light flickered and piped down, however it didn't make much of a difference. A few piled on to him, snuggling him endearingly like he belonged. His robotic heart swelled; he hugged all that were in his lap. One stood up and rubbed its coat against Bulb's head, creating static electricity that shoot off into the sky when the creature sneezed. He pats them back down and scratches their neck & back, loud purring followed. Now that he got a better look at it, the hairs of the coat shimmered with a small barely visible electric-like current traveling through them. Hmmmm there was a study on them sometime ago about a theory- Hey!

He ripped his journal out of the glittering creature's mouth next to him. They baa at him and lays back down. Bulb shakes his head, opening it up to a new page, and takes out a pen from his sleeve.

-_-_-

Fae opens her eyes, massaging her temple. She mummurs as she sits up. "Thank Qwaud that headache passed..... Wait where's Bulb???"

Jumping on her feet, she looks in all directions ready to sprint, until seeing her friend have puffy creatures lay all over him; claiming him as theirs. She raises a brow, strolling over one foot at a time.

"I guess you're a king now Bulb, how do ya feel?" He simply shrugs, lightly scratching a snuggling luffian's coat while sketching the creatures in his journal. She takes a seat beside him, a luffian sits in her lap while another lays next to her. Unconsciously Fae scratches the creatures side, her eyes focused on Bulb.

"This really is your purpose... Creature hugger and nomad." Bulb nods, scribbling notes quicks before dragging his fingers down the page then shutting the book. Etched into the cover was a cross with a circle sitting near the end for each line that held another small circle; a symbol standing for 53 in hieroglyphs.

"I like the idea. One day, you'll take over the city and be it's king...! Hopefully I'll be your royal adviser right, hah!" He only nods, lying back into a luffian resting behind him. If he could smile, he would as his bulb shined brighter. The luffians near him shined brighter as well.

Fae sighs and lays back next to him. "Hmph, he's practically at home....." She grins, staring up at the stars. "Finally adjusted and all, I'm proud.”

She laughs to herself, Bulb glances over curiously. "I practically raised you like a child... Yet here you are as my best friend," She glances over. "Fun how that works?"

This time he didn't nod, he slowly reached over with his hand and booped her nose then retracts his hands behind his head; she snorts and chuckles. "You are so strange Bulb. A strange little tin man you are; I wouldn't have it any other way."
