Really? That's brilliant.
My old mentor would have loved to have met you. He was very keen on wildlife. He used to teach Herbology at Hogwarts many years ago.

*She smiled shyly as she heard his words, finding a soft blush to grace her cheeks. She tilted her head in interest as he continued on, and she would grin brightly and nod.*
Well I'm certain I would have loved to meet him as well... I absolutely adored Herbology as well honsetly... I found I was good at it. I had quite the garden almost from the time I could walk...
*She laughed a little and nodded some, before debating on telling him about her odd ability... Indeed it couldn't be normal to be able to really understand animals... Not just snakes mind you... Now snakes were always actually a weak point for her, having the hardest time understanding them... But she still got the gist of what they were saying anyway...*

*He chuckles*
I think that was one of my weaker subjects.
Though I do enjoy the outdoors.

*Daisy couldn't help but giggle, but she nodded a little, grinning some*
Ah yea Herbology and Care of Magical Creatuers were always my best subjects... Potions was my worst...
*She shook her head a little and shrugged*
I'm rather hopeless with potion making honestly. I do decently with everything else... And I suppose I did well enough to pass my O.W.L's with pretty good marks... So indeed... But I absolutely adored anything to do with animals and plants...
*She nodded a little, before glancing to Ken and grinning mischeviously*
I think why I was so... Well off in the Care of Magical Creatures class... Was because I could... Well... Talk to them?
*She winced a little, hoping that didn't sound too off.*
I mean, I could understand what they were saying, and make my intentions clear, kind of conversing with them back...
*She blushed a bit, wondering how common that was.*

*His brow raises curiously*
You can speak to animals? I don't think I have heard of that before.

*She looked to him in surprise and nodded just slightly.*
Indeed. I mean not really... Animals don't exactly talk in words like we do... Well not exactly... Sort of... I mean it's so much simpler though... They're much more simple than we are and yet at the same time they have their own... Language of sorts. And yes... I can understand it.
*She winced a little, realizeing just how crazy she sounds*
Sorry... I know it sounds bizzare...

No no. I mean I have heard of parseltongues obviously, but not animals in general.
But I suppose it makes sense.

*She looked up to him and nodded a little, with a slight smile, wincing a little bit as she heard him speak of this.*
Ah yea... I have heard of parseltongues of course... But to be honest snakes are a bit of a weak spot for me... Their speech is all hissy and rather slurred...
*She shook her head a little, having a bit of a distaste for snakes.*
But I still kind of understand... At times. I've never heard of a gift like mine... I haven't told anyone... Not even Greyson... I'm not sure if he knows though... I know he might have seen me before...

*A little taken aback*
You haven't told your brother.. but you told me?

*Daisy winced a little, knowing just how odd that sounded. Indeed... She hadn't outright told Greyson. They spent so much time together that she assumed he knew, but never stopped to think that he might not...*
Yes... I haven't been purposefully keeping it from him honestly... I... I have just never outright told him... It's not something I use a whole lot outside of my shop or something I used much outside of class... But... I don't know... I mean I suppose I should see if he knows... There are no secrets I would keep from my brother afterall.

Well, of course that's up to you. Maybe he already knows.
*He shrugs, then lays back on the grass to stare at the starry sky*
I do enjoy relaxing here.

*Daisy nodded a little, giving him a small smile.*
I'm not entirely sure... But I did indeed figure he might know... But I'll make sure... I never thought it was that big a thing... But I suppose it may be bigger than I thought...
*She shivered a bit, but nodded some.*
I had never heard of anyone who could do it, but I figured there must be someone...
*She nodded as she moved to lay near him, laying somewhat perpendicular to him, her head near his side, that long brown hair fanning lightly around her head as she gazed up into the sky as well.*
Indeed... This is such a lovely place...

*Without moving his head, he looked at her. He was somehow comfortable with her, despite only recently having met*
Well, it certainly is a rare gift, though I do not see any reason to make a huge issue of it.

*She sighed gently and gazed up into the stars. Oddly enough she felt very comfortable around him as well. She usually didn't feel nervous around people, but very rarely did she feel so relaxed around anyone. She looked up to his face and grinned a little bit to him as he spoke. She nodded a little in response to his words.*
I suppose you're right... I mean, where it does come in handy, it's not like I can affect a whole lot with it...
*She smiled and nodded a little bit again, seeming a bit more assured.*

*He turned his head resting it on his crossed arms and smiled at her*
Don't be so modest. It could come in very useful I'm sure.
