He opened the door and saw a griffoness standing in the snow, facing the door and wearing a red scarf. She looked at him for a moment before looking down, shuffling the scarf with a claw. Jacques tensed up, ready to duck out of the way and have the rapier launch at her if need be. The griffon pulled out an amulet on a thin, silver chain. She undid the catch and let it fall off her neck and into her claw, placing it on the pack on her side, letting Jacques see her do it.
