Another half an hour had passed and Van was still stuck in the backyard, surrounded by all sorts of creatures that came from god knows where. Just where was Ms. Elton keeping all of these, Van could not help but wonder.
Van's ear could no longer hear the peaceful wind and the rustle of leaves, instead, his ears were drowned by the incessant murmurings of the creatures. Some of the least intelligent creatures only released whispers, as if someone chanting random words.
But the more intelligent ones, like the cercopes, can do full sentences, albeit broken.
Van knew one thing for sure, though. His head was starting to hurt. He already told Ms. Elton that his ears were already ringing from all the noise the creatures were making, but Ms. Elton just told him to get used to it as she shamelessly covered her ears with plugs.
Ms. Elton, however, was right. Now that he had spent minutes and minutes in enduring their noise, Van could somewhat ignore them now. It wasn't that he could control it, it was entering from one ear and exiting to the next without registering in his mind.
"Interesting, interesting!
