Kendra speaks brownie

"What happened?" Seth asked. "Could you understand that?"


"Brownies only," Kendra translated. A little guy opened the door, said that, and closed it. She slapped the door.


"Please, we need to get into the house, it's an emergency!"


The door opened a crack. The little man peered out with one eye. "Now, why would you go and learn Rowian when everyone knows brownies don't talk to strangers?"


"Rowian?" Kendra asked.


"Don't play coy with me, young lady. I've met a few fairies and nymphs who knew the rudiments of the brownie tongue, but never a miniature human."
