A Zimma?

......................

Ella: * humming *

......................

Me: Hmmm......

Me: Uhhhhh...... : /

Me: Hey, El?

Ella: Huh? Yes Rosie?

Me: How's the egg doing?

Ella: Oh, just let me check.

...................

Ella: Yep, it's fine. Nice and warm.

Me: Right. Um, Ella?

Ella: Yeah?

Me: Do you know what kind of egg this is? Because it looks a lot like a spider's egg from

what I can gather.

Ella: Oh no Rosie! It's not a spider's egg! It's a Zimma's egg!

Me: A Zimma? Never heard of them before.

Me: * typing * Zimma. Let's see now.

Me: Um...well I don't think that's what we're looking for.

Me: Let's try something else.

* click *

Me: Hmm....Uh Ella? Is this a Zimma?

Ella: Let me see.

Ella: Oh no! That's definitely not a Zimma!

Me: Well that's pretty much all that came up.

Ella: I guess Zimmas mustn't be common in this dimension.

Me: They live where you come from too?

Ella: Oh yes! My people keep them as pets all the time!

Me: What do they look like then?

Ella: Um, wait a second and I'll show you.

* scribble *

.................

Ella: Done!

Me: A bush is going to hatch out of that egg?

Ella: Huh? A bush? Oh, hang on!

* scribble *

Ella: There!

Me: Ah yes. Now it makes more sense. Can I see?

Ella: Yeah, here.

Me: Hmm. Well I suppose they look different. Do they only come in green?

Ella: Oh no! They come in all sorts of colours!

Ella: They're really cute too. You'll see, it should hatch any day now.

Me: You know that?

Ella: Of course. I can sense all life, right down to the tiniest ant, and this Zimma is well and truly living.
