Creature languages, 1/16, period 4
There is no spider or other animal in view today as Dream stands to address the class.
"Hello. I hope you all enjoyed speaking with Aunt Nancy last week. That was an attempt to acclimate you to the kind of experiences you will have in class.
She told me, by the way, that she quite enjoyed your questions. And she thanks Mr. Gavin for the coffee.
Today, I want you to take a step back from this subject and recognize something you already know: humans can speak Creature languages, at least on a primitive level. Think about the near-telepathy you might have experienced with a pet, for example. Or a time when you knew an anumal was dangerous. Even if it did not say "I would like to bite you," odds are you could tell what it was thinking.
Creature languages is really just about taking that intuitive communication and expanding it a level, so you can converse as readily with, say, a garden slug as you can with your pet cat, and so you can communicate more complex messages across the species barrier. It is physical and emotional as well as vocal, and I trust you will keep that in mind.
In class today, I want you to write a paragraph discussing a time when you feel you communicated with an animal."

Re: Classwork, 1/16
Um...I have not had many experiences communicating with actual animals. I have, however, had a few experiences with animals acting under demon possession. On one memorable occasion, my (now ex-) boyfriend, Xander Harris, became possessed by a demony hyena. Out of respect for Mr Harris, I will not give all the details of his possession, but suffice it to say that I definitely had some communications with a hyenaew, not like that.Or there was the time that Xander tried to hook up with the praying mantis. I bet they did a lot of communicating.Also, one time this girl I went to school with turned into a rat.Other than those odd cases, aided by magic and demons, the only communication I have had with animals is of a pretty basic kind: angry dogs or squaking birds.
