Scholar laughed as he watched Aria back away. "I'm not. I just decided to have a little fun. For future reference, gryphon's don't ask that.We breed for life when we find a mate and if they die then we live alone. Usually that is. Sometimes we can find a new mate but there have been very few, and I've never experienced any interest in another female since I myself lost mine. I've lived a long time, and because of unfortunate circumstances that caused me to have a very long life above that of a normal gryphon, I created this business just for relieving my boredom. Most of the time the tasks asked of me are simple and boring, but you gave me something fun and exciting to do. That's payment enough. As for Phoenix you have to ask him, though I can assure you he will want nothing," he finished speaking, giving the faerie a small smile.<br/><br/>---------------------------------------<br/>Blazil followed behind Tamlin, surprised by the question. "I've never really been around that many children but I've done well with those I have been. Um...my name is Blazil by the way..." she figured it would be best to give the woman her name out of respect for what she was doing for the young red head.<br/><br/>((Thank you))
