And how then does this apply to sentient balls of lightning? Or dare I suppose that Cy cannot communicate with Darren.

I wouldn't know having never read about an encounter between an Andalite and such a creature, so I guess that's on your end to figure out how Cy's physiology copes with the difference. Since he can communicate linguistically with other creatures I wouldn't think it would be an issue. How do the Valis communicate in their natural form?
