Something i learned is to never over explain anything. It is the way it is. They’d be sentient but it doesn’t need anyexplanation. People talk to them, animals too but they don’t acknowledge them more than that and wouldn’t try to hide things from them.
I would’ve liked to make a web comics but this is just my brain going hyperphantasia overdrive. I can’t draw for nuts and my writing skills are below subpar for a work that would heavily rely on it.
