Nostalgic Kanis
Basilisk_596Hugo looked up, stood on his back legs, then continued to hop around the room. Hugo was your typical rabbit minion. He liked to hop, he liked to eat, he liked to sprawl out on the grass with his fluffy cotton tail sticking up and he liked to sleep. But he loved to hang out with Biologist, his Nostalgic Kanis.
Hugo was just a tiny thing when Biologist brought him home. Back then Biologist wasn’t the amazingly fantastic Nostalgic that he is today but that was easy for Hugo to forgive. Now that he was Nostalgic, he was the most amazing friend that any rabbit could ever have. Most of it had to do with the fact he was a plush rabbit. Biologist always watched Hugo do tricks, he always shared his carrots and he was always available to be used as the softest pillow.
Biologist was lazy. Extremely lazy. He hadn’t always been lazy. He had once been a brilliant biologist. He had been an evolutionary biologist to be exact. He loved the knowledge and loved learning but one particular experiment left him wanting more. In this case more meant less from life. It wasn’t the demanding nature of the job or the complexity of the work that left him empty inside. The knowledge he soaked up fulfilled him in stratospheric ways. Perhaps that was the reason he desired to leave it behind.
He desired to sit in a grassy field, wind in his fur, and the smell of spring around him while he soaked up intoxicating amounts of sunlight. He would sometimes accompany the others to the library or consult if it were a convenient time to take a phone call. He still loved to read and science books were his favorite. But his dream was to become a Nostalgic Kanis: a stuffed rabbit who didn’t have to walk or didn’t have to talk if he didn’t want to. A stuffed rabbit who got to spend all day watching his minion do tricks, a minion to share his carrots with and a minion to cuddle with.
