i heard there were talking animals on this network!

are you guys like people's spirit companions or something? do you have telepathic links to your bonded humans? what's it like having paws or hooves, can you type with those??

i've never seen a talking animal before so mainly i'm just curious!

Neither would I, to tell you the truth! It first happened quite by accident... [Hoof still within the frame - flicking a couple of times along the lines of the way someone might flick their wrist - but, now, moving on! Light but theatrical "Eh-hem!"]

Now, I can only speak English; I can only assume that before I picked up this most convenient fluency it was close enough to one hearing any old language they can't understand. I picked up some of the obvious bits and pieces... Didn't have quite the voice to use them for myself, of course.

Looking back I like to think I understood humans at least as well as my cat friend understands me. ...Cat friend made through a so-called pulse, by the way - I can't say the dear's one of "us."

Wait.

[he holds up a hand, looking intrigued but also skeptical]

Waaaaait. So you're...

A talking pony, with a cat animal companion.

[oddly flat, but perfectly sincere: ] That's. Amazing.
