Aisha nodded to his response, part of her wanted to drop her head in embarrassment, though a bigger part kept her eyes on the man and the gryphon in his arms. The curious cat inside her wanted to pet the creature, to inspect it and figure out exactly what 'gryphon' meant for herself, but she knew better than that. Observing would be enough for now.
Aisha waited quietly, patient but also distracted by her scrutiny of Isuma, while the man nodded and continued his calming breaths. After taking in the short week that she'd been a resident here, he offered his name and title, Aisha suddenly feeling even worse knowing that his job was supposed to be helping people like her. Damned reflexes.
"Aisha, thank you for being so understanding," she replied with a respectful nod, trying to somewhat make up for the initial scowl and bad manners she had shown him.
