"As a Loreseeker, I think it's my duty to encourage such distractions," he teased gently, with a smile. "If you let me know what sorts of things you'd like to read I can pull some from the shelves for you, and you can pick them up in the Guildhall when you next visit?"

Then again, he was terribly biased, and he flashed Phoebe a grin as she called the gryphlet 'cute'. "Phoebe, meet Isuma. Isuma meet- Isuma!" he chided, laughing, as she twined around his ankles before trying to pounce after her bug, oblivious to his attempts to get her attention. He reached down swiftly and caught her mid-leap with his free hand, tucking her up to his chest as he straightened and offered the squirming bundle to Phoebe for inspection. "Isuma, this is Phoebe," he tried again, and the gryphlet's large yellow eyes blinked in surprise at the midwife before focusing on her intently.
