Sometime between the party and the jaunt

Um... hello! My name's Connie? Hi.

Wow, this is weird. [ she giggles softly and nervously ]

So, um, I had a question for the people who've been here a little longer than me? Um, see, the last place we went, I sort of ended up coming back with a gryphon egg. Aaaand it may have hatched earlier today.

And I remember how to take care of it, mostly! So that's okay, um, just... well, first, I don't really know how to get him food? But also, um, I was wondering what would happen to him if I end up thinking I'm someone else again? Because if he's stuck here and I can't take care of him, he could die, and I really... really don't want that to happen.

Anyway, thank you very much and I'm sorry for taking up so much of your time!

I mean, I got him back in the last place we were in. I was a squire to a Gryphon Knight, and taking care of my own egg. But I guess he came back with me, and he hatched earlier today!

[ she sounds a little shy when she adds ] You can come see him if you want...

[darkhourdear]

That's pretty cool! Um, Daneel has Lady, and she's a really nice gryphon and he could probably give you some tips!

[oh but he is so taking that up, with no shyness at all.] Ok! Where are you?

[doitforhim]

Maria said! I can't wait to meet her. And him! Um, is it rude that I'm more excited about Lady than Mr. Daneel?

[ idk insert location description here use your imagination ]

[darkhourdear]

[...Phillip actually doesn't know the answer to that.] Um... I'm not sure? But they're both super nice! [Daneel probably wouldn't care, at least.

and hey, heading over to that place now! Ignore the fact that he literally appears from the shadows.] Hi Connie!

[ Connie squeaks a little when he just kind of appears, but seems to more-or-less accept it pretty quickly.

Hi!

[ The downy little tortie-furred gryphon hatchling makes a soft, high-pitched little trilling noise at the sound of Connie's voice. ]

[oh nooooo it's so cute. It's an effort for Phillip not to squee.]

Is it a boy or a girl? Have you named them?

[doitforhim]

I'm pretty sure it's a boy. Although the cat part is tortoiseshell and that's usually only a pattern on girl cats, but... it's magic, does it even work the same as normal cats?

[darkhourdear]

Probably not. [who even knows, with magic.] We could ask someone, if you're not sure!
