[Video] Hey, it's a Giant...um, no, /BLUE/ Griffon! 8D

[notyourblueangel]

[Have a . . . very strange creature glaring at the camera.  When it speaks though, the deep baritone gives it - him - away, if the coloration didn't.]

All right, I won't ask the obvious.  I can guess well enough what's happened - the widespread metamorphoses finally caught up with me.  I do have one question, though.

[He lifts a four-digit paw, studying the long, curving, ultra-sharp talons - a thick, muscular tail thumping in irritation on the ground behind him - before he turns back to the camera.]

Can someone tell me what in the smelting fires of the Pit this body is supposed to be?  It seems confused between an bird and a . . . I think a cat of some sort.  [grumbles]  And I want my wings back.  My wings, not these...filament-covered...appendages.  [Said "appendages" ruffle and flutter in reaction.]

First-forged, with all due respect, I hope an answer to all this nonsense is coming.  Soon.

[He reaches to turn off his comm, but . . . long talons are ill-equiped to press buttons without either slipping off to either side between keys or scratching and trying to poke through the target key.  Finally, though, he manages.]



((ooc: LOL believe it or not, no, I had NOT been thinking about this when I requested TC's shift.  XD;;;  A friend pointed it out this afternoon when I showed them the drawing.  I died.  XD))

A gryphon. [ Of course, the devices translate the word into the spelling Saber would use. ] Exquisite creatures. [ She's a bit hesitant to congratulate him too much, as that creature was the symbol of many enemies on the battlefield she had encountered. ]

"Exquisite", huh? [That's not a word he would have used. He flaps his wings again. At least he's getting them to move the exact same way at exactly the same time.] Just tell me this body really is flight-capable and I just need to figure out how. [Because he's not ABOUT to be ground-bound for Primus-only-knows-how-long!]

You can definitely fly, but it's from movement of your wings and not propulsion.. as I assume would be what you are used to. [ Or something similar, perhaps? ]

It takes a few days for baby chicks to learn how to fly with severe pressuring from their parents, so I wouldn't expect to learn it without a hitch.. they learn to fly from being pushed off a high cliff, usually. [ That's not very comforting, Saber. ]

[His eyes widen and OH PRIMUS he's scrambling to lock this before Skywarp gets any more "great" ideas on how to "help"!]

Eh . . . I see . . . and, ah, yeah, propulsion. Basically. Though wings have a lot to do with it too. But yeah.

[Don't mind him . . . he's just having really bad visualizations of laying broken and in Pit-loads of pain at the bottom of some cliff. Ow.]

[pendragon]

[ The lock on the screen slightly surprises her. Did Saber say something wrong? ] But aye, the chicks watch the parents how to fly and then they practice using their wings in the nest. Then the parents.. nudge the chicks off a cliff and the birds.. well, fly or.. don't. Beyond that, I know nothing else.

[notyourblueangel]

They have someone to learn from by observation first, though, at least. That's good.

[For the chicks. Not so much for him. Who's he going to watch?]
