Interesting Conversations

Rollin sat on the ground with his back against a tree, bare feet digging into the cool earth beneath. He wore black bondage pants and a dark gray t-shirt with "I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell" written on it in black sharpie. The boy's hair was dark brown and shaggy, hanging into his eyes and covering his eyebrows, which was all the better, considering a stud was peirced into the left one.

He sat with his knees drawn up to his chest and an elbow resting on his knee. On his outstreched finger perched a sparrow, twittering happily at him. Grinning, he shook his head and laughed. "He said -what-? Then what did you do?" Rollin asked the bird. The sparrow, who aparently understood him, went on chirping at him.

Rollin looked up, surpised. "Oh, thank you. I was listening to that song earlier, and I wanted a shirt that said it, so I just got a sharpie and wrote it." He admited, rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "I hope it isn't copywright infringment..." Coughing, he looked off to the side.

The bird, startled when Linkin appeared, sat perched in the tree above them, hopping around.

"Would you care to have a seat?" Rollin asked, grining a friendly grin.

Rollin, slightly taken aback by Linkin's acceptance of his ability to commune with animals, coughed and silently beckoned the bird back down. Once the bird was once again perched on his finger, he said, "Very nice to meet you, Miss Linkin. I'm Rollin, and this little fellow, I can't pronounce his name in this langague. Would you mind if, for our purposes, I just called you Chirp?" The bird twittered at him and cocked tis head to the side.

"Alright then, Chirp it is." Turning back to Linkin, he grinned. "Yes, this is Chirp."

Rollin blinked in evident confusion. He wasn't always the brightest crayon in the box... "Y... You can understand animals, too?!" He asked, eyes wide. "I'd say it in his language, but I can't really talk it, either. He laughed nervously and tried to explain. "Its kinda a telepathic thing..." Rollin said with half a shrug.

"Yeah, I'm new... Havn't been here for long at all. I don't know anyone yet." Explained the boy, rubbing the sparrow's chest with the back of one finger.

Rollin's eyes lit up when she said she could polymorph into animals. "So can I! Its alot easier with canines, 'specially wolves, but I can do it! You're the first person I ever met who could do it, too!" Excited, he laughed.

"Which one's your favorite animal?" He asked, completely forgetting about the other part of their conversation.
