At once, the gryphon leapt forwards as if he'd spotted prey in the grass, the might bound taking him several feet forward to land first on his forepaws before his rear slam to the ground as well. His feathers ruffled, standing on end and making him seem larger, and somehow softer.<br/><br/>"Excellent!" he roared, and threw his head back to let out a series of strange shrill, musical chirps. Was it... laughing? "Excellent, Brother Al! Watch as you may; I shall be on my best behaviour! I have not been inside save for our first trek through the halls; they fit me well, with some crouching!"<br/><br/>His tail flit wildly behind him, and he hunched down towards the grass slightly, just enough to wriggle like a cat stalking a mouse. And then he stopped, stood back to his full height, and cleared his throat with a growl.<br/><br/>"That is to say, I am grateful for this opportunity to meet the others. And do not worry, I am mostly house trained."<br/><br/>A pause.<br/><br/>"...That was also humor, Brother Al."
