I gladly welcome the approach of the gryphon, my hand outstretched for it to rub against, my fingers deftly moving through its feathery fur as I locate the perfect spot to scritch. It brings me great joy, not just because I clearly am enthused by all things animals, but also from a scientific standpoint - this is the closest I've ever gotten to a gryphon, and I can't help but attempt to make sense of what should be a fantasy creature by trying to identify which parts of it are avian and which parts are feline. I don't get too caught up in this (I could get lost for hours in my own thoughts, and that's just not polite), and try to simply accept that this is what it is, and have hope that there will be other times where my yearning for science and knowledge will be met.
"My world called the profession veterinarian," I offer, my warm smile ever present upon my lips. "You'll find me a very willing student," I nod as he speaks of teaching about the animals local to his region.
He continues, and I am excited again about the prospect of the Guild he speaks of - I can't help but think that this is why I always play a bard or cleric in games of Dungeons and Dragons with my party, I simply cannot get away from the desire to learn, to know, to share that knowledge. "Yes please!" I respond to his offer of written information hopefully not too enthusiastically, my hunger for it clearly evident in my expressions.
News of a Healer's College being shut down saddened me greatly - it sounded like something that I would be perfectly suited to. I realise that in my sadness, I stopped my petting of the gryphon - swiftly remedied by resuming said scritches - "That's a real shame," my voice is notably less enthused than it was for my prior comments. "Well, I'm sure once I find my feet I can help figure out a way to fix that. There's hardly a point to gaining so much knowledge if there is no means to share it."
