When the Elphane Traders mention that the so-called "fairy coins"-- stars-- are magical sources energy that have the ability to guide the dead through Avalon, he sets off at once to gather them. Are ​they living rocks? Actual stars? Magical lights? No doubt finding them himself will reveal the answers. Wary of the bubble-drinks offered at the aptly dubbed bubble-bar, Somnus merely takes the bottle with him into the caverns of Lestari to begin his star-hunt, opting to, perhaps, consume it only if necessary. His magic is kinetic; surely that will be enough.

He decision to withhold the drink seems to be fortunate, for when he spots another in the caverns floating haphazardly for anchor, Somnus stops at the edge of black cavern moss, craning his neck to look upon the spectacle with a neutral expression. Flying by foreign, magical means is undoubtedly more difficult than it appears.

"Hail, traveler," he greets, cordial. His voice carries within the cavern, even as the fairy coins buzz about. While he cannot be sure exactly how well the stranger might be aware of his surroundings, flying about like that, he offers nonetheless: "You may find purchase upon the grand stalactite to your left."
