Simone the Inconspicuous and Precious NPCs

While out mining in Ungoro Crater I came across two random NPC characters known as Simone the Inconspicuous and her companion pet Precious as shown in the image below. Simone seems at one with nature and appears to express her views on how beautiful the world is around us. I think this one of Blizzards attempts at reminding players that there is a real world outside of World of Warcraft. The second screenshot below shows the location where I found this mysterious NPC character and companion. Enemy MOBS do not seem to attack these characters.
