ANd through it all the gryphon watched and learned.  While eating his own smaller share, of course.  It was quite the contrast to behold, tiger and tigress both with their own manners of consumption.   But what did that mean?   Did Bitsa take apart the food carefully from his own intelligence and preferences, or was that a full tiger trait?   Or was Tamara more tigerish in her eating, gobbling things up whole?<br/>As soon as the tigers were done, Fire piped up and asked, bloody beak and all.  "Err, lord Bitsa, do all tigers eat like you?   Or would they act more like Tamara here, devouring whole and alive?"    While the gryphon figured the former was the case, there was no sense in being overly confident and ultimately stupid by NOT asking the questions.
