Bab 247: Trunkling 2

Damian walked toward Einar and Yovan, they all seemed to be sitting together near one of the campfires, forming a circle. When they saw him, they waved like kids. Sometimes he forgot they were kids, but their antics occasionally reminded him.

Damian approached them, and as he did, they stared at the little creature in his hands. Sensing the attention, it started trumpeting proudly, though it could barely make the sound without panting for breath. 

What a drama queen.

"What the hell is this…?" Sam exclaimed, predictably. The others also starred, confused, before blurting out random guesses.

"It looks like a glowing elephant…" Jorven observed.

"Is it dinner? Did you capture an animal for us to eat?" Yovan asked, his eyes sparkling. Wasn't that guy vegetarian..?

"It kind of resembles you…even acts like you, all proud. It has the same eyes," Einar said.

"Maximus? Are you secretly an elephant?" Sam asked stupidly.
