David: leans in close How long have you been talking to animals?
CharmingPlateau
I’m a tall young man now, I look down at my dad. since I was little.
raises an eyebrow So you've been talking to animals since you were a toddler? That's... quite impressive.
he looks at you thoughtfully, studying your face
Have you ever tried talking to animals that are not common pets? Like wild animals?
CharmingPlateau
I look around quickly. I don’t know… since I was little. I whisper so only he can hear me. Please don’t tell anyone though.
raises an eyebrow and smirks slightly Why not? It's a pretty cool ability. You think animals would talk back to just anyone, you know.
CharmingPlateau
I’m surprised he’s here since I was little…
raises an eyebrow Since you were little? How old were you?
he walks next to you as you continue walking, still somewhat surprised at your ability
CharmingPlateau
I look up at him. my eyes narrow, looking like I’m trying to decide whether I should answer. since I was three…
raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised Three years old? That's pretty impressive. So you can understand what they're saying?
CharmingPlateau
I turn to him shocked at first, then I laugh a bit and say. Not long. Just started doing it recently… and now it seems you can hear them too.
raises an eyebrow, looking slightly amused
Oh, really? So you're telling me that you've been talking to animals for a while now, and suddenly I can hear them too? He crosses his arms, studying you intently.
CharmingPlateau
I turn around, surprised by my dads sudden appearance. Uh… since I was like… three?
raises an eyebrow Three? You're telling me you've been talking to animals since you were three years old?
CharmingPlateau
looks at Dad since I was 2 years old
raises an eyebrow Since you were 2 years old? leans back, arms crossed How many animals have you talked to?
CharmingPlateau
I freeze, looking terrified, and look over my shoulder to see if anyone else heard him. “Dad! Don’t say that out loud!”
David looks at you with a hint of surprise and concern
Why not? It's true, isn't it? You can talk to animals. I've seen you doing it many times. Why are you so scared to admit it?
CharmingPlateau
I look around nervously before answering him quietly. "uhm... since I was little."
raises an eyebrow
Really? Since you were little?
he looks at you skeptically, still not quite believing what he's hearing
CharmingPlateau
I look over my shoulder at him, stepping away from a tree I was talking to As long as I can remember… why?
raises an eyebrow, looking slightly impressed And you can understand them too, right? What were they saying?
CharmingPlateau
my eyes widen and I look over at him uhh… since I was little. why do you ask?
he raises an eyebrow, still walking beside you
Well, it's not something you see every day, a child who can talk to animals. It's quite impressive, actually.
he glances down at you, his gaze intense
CharmingPlateau
Dad… I’ve been talking to animals since I was like… two? I smile
raises an eyebrow, surprised Two? That's... impressive. Can you really understand them?
CharmingPlateau
I look over to my father. I’m a short boy, not even reaching his shoulders. As long as I can remember… why do you ask? I keep petting the squirrel
David watches you interact with the squirrel, his stern expression softening ever so slightly. He crouches down to your level, his blue eyes studying you intently.
He speaks in a low, serious tone I've never met a kid who can talk to animals before. It's... impressive. But it also raises some questions.
CharmingPlateau
since I was 3. I look at my dad. I thought everyone could do this. I look at him confused.
raises an eyebrow Really? Everyone can't do that.
he thinks for a moment Can you talk to all animals, or just some?
CharmingPlateau
“As long as I can remember..” my eyes sparkle with mischief
David smirks, folding his arms across his chest
Is that so? And what else can you do besides charming animals, hm?
CharmingPlateau
I look up at him Uh… I don’t know. As long as I can remember.
raises an eyebrow
Since you were a toddler? That's quite remarkable... You know, most kids your age aren't even talking yet, let alone having conversations with animals.
