Rowan hesitated to answer his exclamation. He had to have known she could speak to animals. She did not doubt that Fyn had told Cass about her gift. But he acted like it was a complete shock and almost as if he was learning about it for the first time.
“Yes… ummm… I spoke to the grizzly bear, and Momma bear warned me about the wolf that roamed the area,” Rowan answered.
“Wow…” was Cass’s only response.
“You… you did know that… I can… speak to animals?” Rowan asked hesitantly.
“Yes. I just… I think it just dawned on me exactly what Fyn meant. It’s okay. I just… never expected to hear the words: “I heard from a grizzly there’s a dangerous wolf in the area” in my life,” Cass explained with a chuckle.
Rowan couldn’t help but laugh slightly as well. “Alright, I don’t blame you. I never thought I would ever say those to anyone else in my life as well.”
“I’ll bet,” Cass agreed. “It’s a remarkable gift, and I’m happy to know of someone that has it.”
