Unfortunately for the dark blobling--whose name, it turned out, was Fathom--Feivel was far too restless to stay in any one place for any extended period of time. This tendency to always be on the move made for fast-paced conversations and rather abrupt conclusions. For instance, as soon as they saw the smile creep over Fathom's face, Feivel had already turned their attention to the stranger under the rainbow-hued tree; and as Fathom mused about how he spent too much time thinking rather than doing, Feivel was eagerly expressing interest about meeting the third, nameless blobling.

As it turned out, the blue blobling actually did have a name! Myrtle. And with that, a new friend had been acquired! Onto the next adventure! At least, that's what Feivel initially thought before they were stopped by Myrtle's question. She asked if Feivel and Fathom were new bloblings. The darker of the two gave a long, philosophical answer, one that largely went over the magenta blob's head. As he spoke, Feivel nodded--not in agreement to Fathom's words, for they understood little about what was being said and chose not to give enough thought to decipher it, but in direct response to Myrtle's question. The short answer was yes, they were new blolbings!

Confusion aside, when Fathom playfully bumped up against Feivel, they returned the act by grinning and nudging the dark blob gently. "Questions and answers have their time and place, but that's not now!" Feivel chuckled while looking between their two new comrades. "Friends make the world go 'round. Just look at how happy this tree is now that it has company!" They looked up at the bright rainbow petals above them before looking directly at Fathom. "Why choose to be sad about questions you don't have the answers to when you can be happy about the friends you have here and now!" Feivel seemed to be proud of themselves for coming up with such a compelling counterpoint.
