"In fairness, I would have been very surprised if she'd been huge, coming out of the egg she was in." Isla grinned to Jigano as she continued to feed the little gryphlet scraps of meat. She listened to his description of the creatures back in his world with open interest and curiosity; obviously they existed as well in Caido, or one wouldn't be snuggled into the bard's lap right now! As for how big she might get, Isla chuckled.
"Don't speak too soon, now. If she grows quickly and ends up large enough to ride, you might have a real handful to deal with!" And then some. Finally, Isla decided that the hatchling's little belly would probably be unhappy if it received any more tasty tidbits, so she put the rest of the scraps out of reach and busied herself in washing her hands.
Her smile growing softer, she sat down beside her friend once more. "Begin at the beginning," she said unhelpfully. "She just needs basics. Food, water, warmth and shelter. A name would be good too, though. What will you call her?
