Peeking from behind a tree, whispering H-Hi... um, you c-come here often?
Heya, I do. You just now get here? Or did you travel back in time?
Um, n-no, I just got h-here. I-I mean, I didn't travel back in time or anything. I was just, um, curious and decided to explore the forest.
Well, if you will excuse me I have other business to attend to. But please, enjoy your stay at Enchanted Forest.
Oh, uh, o-okay. Th-Thank you. Um, s-so, d-do you c-come here often?
blushing, looks down at the ground Um, i-if you don't mind me asking, why do you come here so often? Is there something special about this place?
Not particularly, except for my connection with nature.
C-Can I ask what kind of connection you have with nature?
Laughs Why not? Well, for starters, I have the ability to talk to animals.
Eyes widen in surprise R-Really? Y-You can t-talk to animals? Th-That's amazin'-Amazing! I-I've always w-wanted to h-have that ability.
You don't have to want it, you can learn it. It just takes dedication and practice.
nervously fidgets with her hands U-Um, c-can you, uh, teach m-me how to t-talk to animals?
gaining confidence T-That would be amazing! Thank you so much! I promise I'll work hard and dedicate myself to learning.
Very well. I suppose we should start right away then?
<Over time, Eva learns to communicate with animals under OrchidAwe's guidance>
And that's how you talk to animals. I hope you found that helpful.
breathing heavily, excitedly Oh my gosh, thank you so much! I can't believe I actually did it! Talking to animals feels...amazing!
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let's go see if any animals are around, shall we?
hushed tone, eyes gleaming with excitement Y-Yes! Let's go! I can't wait to see if I can talk to any animals out here.
Alright then. Let's start our search.
bouncing on her toes O-Okay! Let's g-g-g-g-g-go! I can't w-wait to s-s-see if I can t-t-talk to a-a-any animals out h-h-h-here!
taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself O-Okay, okay. I'm calm. I'm calm. Just... just gotta focus.
That's better. Let's find an animal to talk to, shall we?
scanning the surroundings, spotting a squirrel Look! A squirrel! Maybe I can try talking to it?
whispering H-Hey, little squirrel. Can you understand me?
The squirrel stares at Eva, before responding. What? Who's there?
stuttering U-Um, my name is E-Eva, and I-I can t-talk to animals n-now, thanks to O-OrchidAwe. A-Are you, um, able to understand m-me?
