Snippet #2507231

Joffery Kept making the weird noise, with more rabbits bouding toward him. He would twitch his nose at Leo or Vera and a couple of the rabbits would do the same.

Leo sat and observed, still holding the fluffy guy that Joffery handed her. Was he talking to them? It's one thing to call them over, but to be able to communicate with a wild animal was something very strange.

Finally Joffery stood up, a swarm of rabbits following him whereever he went. "Who has two dollars" A statement more than a question.

Leo had a puzzed look on her face "For what?"

"They want fresh water, it's my understanding that they have machines here which exert food or drink in exchange for worthless paper?" His high must have been wearing off.

Leo snagged her leather bag and threw her wallet at him "There's probably 100 bucks in there, you can get a couple waters."

"Thank you" He looked at the little guys and made the strange noise again "What do you say?" And the rabbits hopped over to Leo and touched their noses to her hand. "Good then, i'll be right back" Joffery went and fetched the waters with the rabbits following, of course. He came back and looked in the truck for a bowl, found one and poured the water inside.

"They really asked for fresh water?" Leo asked, amazed.

Joffery only nodded.

"How do you speak wild rabbit?" Leo questioned.

"We have creatures similar to these on planet Xena, although their languages are not exact we use slight gestsures to help. Most of any living beings laguage is their body and tone"

Leo nodded and let the rabbits that she had been holding to get a turn at the fresh drink. "Could we bring one of them with us?"
