Sophia looked back at him, and even rolled onto her back a moment and chuckling. “Well, haven’t seen a gryphon in a long while, Specially an owl. You’re a handsome one.” The sphinx teased as she got up to her paws and did a very cat like stretch.
“I’ll bet you’re pretty fast, hmmm?” She purred as she began to trot off.
((Forgot to mention, he could probably see all these old scars on her.))
Yeah, m’real fast!
Brigham stretched slightly himself before padding after Sophia, head cocked to the side curiously as he got a better look at her sphinx form. Sturdily built, larger than he was, and she had the wings that he lacked. And those scars…they obviously weren’t fresh, but he couldn’t help himself, and inquired, Where’d you get those scars?
She blinked a moment at the telepathy. That wasn’t something she expected. Shaking her head a moment to hear his question she smiled and stopped moving. “Mmm, Aside from two of them, they’re all very old. I lost my eye, and my wings in a dominance battle, A few good claw marks…and old and mostly faded collar scar from when I was…ah…owned, and bullets, from recently being shot at.” She rolled her shoulders lightly.
“Wings have painstakenly slowly been growing back over centuries, but probably won’t be usable again in my life time.” Sophia gave a slight pause, ruffling her feathers a moment.
“Anything else?” She asked, trying to keep coolness from her voice.
Brigham’s head was cocked to the side, and he purred curiously as he looked over Sophia’s scars.
Nah, nothing else. You’ve been through a lot though, huh?
Padding closer to lie down next to Sophia, he stretched his front legs out slightly and copied her, ruffling his own fur and feathers. He clicked his beak once and preened his chest idly, neck craned downward flexibly. He looked up when he was done with a soft cooing noise.
“Mmm, a good number of centuries.” She said using a claw to lightly scratch at his neck, careful of his feathers. “I’m sure you’ve been through your share as well.” Sophia sighed and laid down beside him for the moment, giving him a slight nudge with her wing. “I’m sure you’ll fair better, you look strong, and smart, young one.”
{{oh SHIT I am SO sorry for never replying ; A ; kjgfdkhlj}}
I guess…maybe. M’not too bright, though.
Brigham rolled strong shoulders in what could only be a nonchalant shrug, still for a moment before he glanced skyward to watch he stars as they slowly showed through the night. There weren’t many, since the lights of the city made them that much harder to see, but he could make out a cluster of them in a few spots, and of course there was the North Star.
Brigham turned his head to look at Sophia again, and rather than putting his question into words he imagined the grass under their feet, the wind in their faces, fleeting moments and feelings of euphoria to finally be, though just for that night, carefree and unencumbered by human nature, just running, racing, under the stars. He purred curiously, watching Sophia in what was otherwise silence as he projected the images and sensations.
I’m at Conrad’s. I’m sorry for not coming home, but I got sick, and Conrad wanted to take care of me and make sure I’d be alright.
Is there enough food in the fridge for you? And are you alright? I really am sorry, Brigham.
Oh. Get well soon, okay?
Yeah I’m fine. And it’s okay Miggs.
my dash is confusing tonight.
:(
Brigham stared at his laptop screen in pure shock. What he just read, it shook him to his core and absolutely horrified him. He had no idea what to do with the rage bubbling up in his chest, making every inch of him shake, forcing blasts of color to flash in his vision.. And even behind closed eyelids the words were still there, vivid and real, burned into his retinas. Painful. A physical ache rushed through him, and he struggled to contain himself. Conversing with Mr. VanSlyk, or rather, berating him for his disgusting actions, did the gryphon more harm than good; he was forced to take a few deep breathes to calm himself, and he took a minute to lay in bed, curled up on top of the sheets, in an attempt to relax. But he couldn’t. He quaked and clenched his teeth and his fists and hugged his arms, digging his nails in but not really registering it.
Abner VanSlyk. He would remember that name. The name of the first person to have angered him to the point that he had no idea how to handle himself; he struggled with the seething rage that was eating at him, shaking helplessly on the bed. Abner VanSlyk…had killed three innocent werewolves. People. Three innocent people. And Brigham would have none of that.
I would rather you do your fucking “job” right and hunt them when they’re actually being a DANGER to others!! YOU’RE disgusting.
But they will be one day. You’d rather I wait until they kill someone? So you truly want a human dead?
Stop twisting my words, sicko. Get off your damn high horse! Those werewolves were just as innocent as any human can be!
Hn. You think that the next time you hear about some savage werewolf tearing apart a small, innocent human on the full moon.
That. Is not. The point. The ones you killed were inocent.
PROTECTED? They weren’t doing anything wrong! Did they show any interest in the humans?? They were hunting rabbits!
They grow up to be savage beasts. You understand nothing.
No. I understand more than youd think. YOU “understand nothing”! She was just feeding her young! How is that savage??
So you’d rather I let them live so that they could grow up to have their savage nights on the full moon where they loose all abilities to think rationally and they are let loose upon a city with thousands of unsuspecting humans?
You would rather that happen?
You are disgusting.

Destroyed a werewolf and her 2 children. I found them hunting in the woods last night, killing rabbits and stray animals. Feeding.
They were getting too close to a human camper. I hunted them down and killed them after a brief scuffle. I’m a bit banged up, but the hunt was worth it. They’re dead.
I won’t need to heal as much. Nothing was broken or torn in my body. They were fairly weak.
………………..
You’re… That’s… What??
What? I did the right thing. I protected those humans.

Why all the righteous outrage?
It seems not many are happy with Mr. VanSlyk’s profession.
UH. Understatement much!!
