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."

Well considering I rarely have... a chance to interact with animals not somewhat ... 'different' in the first place, some communication with them isn't all that unusual. I've yet to have a straight-up conversation with any of them yet...
Sakura ponders.
Well, I have a ... well he's not exactly a pet, and he's not exactly an "animal" either, but I can talk to him just fine.
She frowns, hoping that somewhat suffices. She wasn't entirely sure if she should go into detail about her relation with Kero, but if it was necessary, she'd do so.
