Aarav Tlak shook
his head and said, “Horses don’t talk.”
Kyla Das sniffed
and said, “Shows what you know.”
“There’s no such
thing as magic; there’s no such thing as a talking ani...”
“To reiterate
what I said, you’re showing your ignorance by making such a categorical and sweeping
statement. Are you including animals who have been trained or recognize
commands?”
“Of course not!
Animals can be smart and trainable, they just can’t talk.”
She gave him a
long look then said, “So you’re saying that no animal on Earth can communicate?”
“No! You’re
twisting my words. Animals communicate in a thousand different ways – some we
can’t comprehend, like elephants talking below our level of hearing. But you’re
talking about...about...about...talking like we’re talking and animals don’t do
that.”
“How do you know?”
“You know what I’m
talking about!”
“I could say
that you’re a bit of an animal,” Kyla said with a smirk.
“I am not!” Aarav
exclaimed.
She snorted then
said, “You’ve never had to deal with yourself after you and your gf haven’t had
a chance to make out.”
Sputtering,
Aarav exclaimed, “That’s not fair!”
“That’s what criminals
all say.”
He glared at
her, took a deep breath, glared a while longer and finally said, “Proof would
be you introducing me to some animal and
then me and the animal having a conversation.”
“You’d accept
that as proof?”
He gave her a
funny look and she burst into laughter. Blushing furiously, he said, “Of course
I’d accept it as proof! I’d hardly be a dispassionate scientist if I ignored an
actual animal actually speaking to me.”
“Any animal?”
Aarav scowled, “I
don’t like the direction this conversation is taking. What do you mean by that?”
She held out a
stethoscope and said, “Put these into your ears.”
His eyes grew
wide, he took them in hand, and said, “This isn’t funny anymore.”
“It’s not
supposed to be. Warm up the end of that thing and put it on my belly – and prepare
to be amazed.”
