Whomever tied my shoelaces into a knot this morning, it was not appreciated. Kindly do not enter my room without permission again.

[Pen taps]

Rogue, are you about?

[Slight pause]

Is everyone else [very small pause] alright?

[Hmm. That makes three women who've been interested because of him, and Promise and Stardust both vanished not long after. ...He hopes it's not a pattern.]

Well, lessons are open to anyone who's employed. It's probably better to stop by in the early afternoons on a weekday. Ask one of the grooms - they wear these fairly distinctive vests - for the griffin master, and he can set you up with a mild animal and a trainer.


You've heard that sort of - I don't know, cheerfully melancholy music around, right? I found out that it's coming from some kind of groundcar. No idea how it gets between the islands, though.

[She's not going anywhere, don't worry.]

Thank you, I'll do that.

I have heard it from time to time recently, but I have yet to actually see where it is coming from. Perhaps the car merely appears from thin air. [She's... not entirely sure if she is joking about that.]

[Good. Rogue would be very unhappy otherwise.]

If he suggests Rocky... Well, I won't say he's a terrible teacher, but he does tend to show off a little more around women instead of paying attention to what he's doing. Could get him, and you, in trouble. Griffins are tamed and trained by the time they get to the stables, but they're still wild animals with outsized claws and beaks.

I don't think I'll be too surprised. Maybe I'll take a closer look next time I see it.

Thank you for the tip. [Though if she does get a teacher who is a goofball show-off, she may just end up verbally flaying him.]

I am intrigued myself, now. Perhaps I will spend some time looking for it tomorrow afternoon.
