[Dictated] In which Cimorene poses some questions

[chiefcookandlibrarian]

 In the weeks I have been here I have spoken to a great many people.  And some of the things they have mentioned to me sound very strange and curious.

And now I am wondering a great many things.  My own world is filled with such creatures as dragons and djinn and wizards and fire witches and giants and many others beside.  Are there truly so many worlds with none of that?

Also, I am wondering if anyone has any dried feverfew.  I would gather it myself, but I'm afraid it is the wrong time of year for it.

Do they talk? Frogs and squirrels and hedgehogs are more traditional. In my world you never know when you might be speaking to an enchanted prince. But I once met a frog who had picked up the language from them.

[He's heard of stories of talking frogs, but squirrels and hedgehogs?] No... I can't say that they do. Not any human's language, anyway.

[He'd probably be worried if he ever had a squirrel speaking Belkan to him one day.]

[The talking squirrels give good quest advice.]

I see. Well with cats one never does know for sure.

[solowingpixy]

[If only he knew. He might miss an important detail by skipping out on conversations with squirrels.]

... what, so you're saying that there could have been a talking cat behind my back? [He's pretty certain there wasn't, buuut...]

[chiefcookandlibrarian]

Cats are cats. They might find amusement in something like that.

[solowingpixy]

Then I can be glad the majority of cats I've dealt with more than likely didn't do that. [That's because your main experience are with Tomcats and those are jets, Pixy. 8|]

How can you be sure?

Somehow, I think it's highly unlikely for a flying hunk of metal to do any talking.
