In my world, everybody can communicate with animals. My best friend is a chameleon named Pascal, when I went to a pub and everybody was singing the rats joined in, and my friend Eugene is a thief that manages to outwit and fend off every single palace guard that comes after him, but it's their horse that always gives him the most trouble.
...I haven't met anyone around here that can understand them the way I do though, so I'm kind of the weird one here.
