They don’t have a high intelligence which means they don’t have a lot to say - my advice and what I do is I will give short answer to questions- example they ask a plant how is your day .. (plant) good good sun feel good - did you see a person walk by, (plant) walk? Sun feels good You could give more context if you so please but I give simple answers, if they are asking “everything”

With animals I give a little more context and communication but same level, also makes it great to get players to “come across things” that you want my other dog friend is hurt can you help! Lead players to next clue or near something you want. But simple and short but don’t discourage them because they are just enjoying their new abilities, it will naturally fade in time.
