I heard William's meek question from behind me. And it surprised me. Did he really just ask me that?
I knew of others keeping some animals as pets, sometimes even hostile creatu- res like zombified piglins.
But this was something entirely different. William asked to move in and live with me. The enderman must have been yearning for some connection all his life to ask me this. And to tell the truth I was consider- ing it.
"Yeah. I think I'd like that." Suddenly I heard excited sounds coming from the dark creature. He was very happy to hear what I said.
Overjoyed he ran back up again excited about leaving the cave with his newfound friend.
But in all that excitement he forgot himself."William wait!" I exclaimed fearing the worst, but it was already to late. I was looking up directly into those purple glowing eyes.
