{In the coliseum, Caster not only has her hood down today, but also has a baby griffin perched carefully on her arm. She's handling it like one would handle a falcon, which makes sense, considering the sizable claws, even though it's so small}

Ahh, Afratos, you're eating larger animals now, so it is close to time for you to learn how to fly. You cannot nest too long if you are to be for more than show.

{She waves her hand, and a piece of raw meat appears, flying up into the air. It watches curiously, squawking as it's unsure how to get to it exactly.}

Take your time, little one. It will come naturally as you get hungrier.

{It still paces nervously, its small wings flapping excitedly. Go ahead and approach, but please don't pet the griffin unless you want to lose a finger! ♥}

Recently? Would that be because of my partnership with Braxiatel, or something else?

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Got it in one, right there? Or would it be two since you did ask if it might be something else? Either way, yes, your partnership I would think would be what did that. At least that's what Brax seems to be saying, too.

Do they like it on the Collection? I mean, you hear all sorts of stories about animals taken out of their natural environment and either struggling or evolving and flourishing or just getting on as they were and oh I'm babbling, aren't I? Sorry. It's just not very often I encounter something so completely and unabashedly new and foreign that I am reduced to, well, this.

{She smiles slightly} They are not normal animals, though. They would gladly take to anywhere at all.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

Perhaps we have more in common with them than one might think. Brax showed me the bulls you brought. They were gorgeous.

He said they defeated an entire Dalek fleet. Is that right?

{She raises her eyebrows in surprise, but simply nods}

Not singlehandedly. A hydra that I had also summoned was quite helpful in the endeavor as well.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

A hydra? I'm not really sure if he mentioned the hydra. I have a feeling I really should start brushing up on my mythology if I ever hope to have a chance of keeping up with all the new rules of the universe.

[heartscastaside.livejournal.com]

To be technical, they may not be rules of yours, but rather of mine. If you would like to learn both, I shall not stop you.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

I wasn't expecting you to try to stop me.

[she sighs. She hates being awkward. Another second and then a smile is there]

But how about you there, how are you handling learning all the rules and standards of our world? It must be rather interesting I would think. Or is it all rather dull and run of the mill? I imagine it's hard to get excited over much when you're used to raising well griffins and hydras and bronze bulls...oh my. [a nervous laugh] Sorry. That was horrible. I really, really do apologize.

{Slightly surprised,} No, it is quite interesting. As part of my contract, I was given basic operational knowledge about the place I have come to. It is why I am able to speak easily rather than in my own tongue.

[brandyhabit.livejournal.com]

What is your own tongue? I don't think I ever asked.

{She simply smiles} Greek.
