The Last Philosopher: https://books2read.com/b/m0pJYA

Spotting him, the small creatures both jumped up, falling over themselves to fold up a couple of chair-contraptions while waving excitedly at the same time. He had seen less entertaining comedy troupes. Once he was close enough, he saw they were wearing weird dark glasses, which looked even more bizarre than their regular eyes.

“Get back in the cave, someone might see!” He made shooing motions, and they obediently scurried off.

Close to the entrance, a bird flying overhead all of a sudden dropped out of the sky.

“What happened?”

“Is fumes master,” the shorter one answered, picking it up.

“What are you going to do with it?” He had forgotten this one’s name.

“Lunch!”

“Oh...eww.”

“Bird not important. We wait for master. Good Knomes sorry master upset we wait.” The taller one, Isath, came up and removed his glasses.

“Why were you waiting outside, and what’s with all the waving? People might get the wrong idea, you know!”

“We keep watch for master, give good news!”

“Have you been watching since I left?”

“Yes, master.”

“What if I didn’t return?”

“Good master leave note. Isath trust master.”

“It said ‘TF’! “If” things went well!” He was shouting; he hadn’t meant to shout.
