Hmmm. Fingerless gloves on BOTH Hands.

Lily is learning to be a grandma.

This is so cute, and also I smell a Chekov's Gun in the griffon information.

Family can be wonderful stuff, when it's working well!

The fact that this one comes about 5000 years late, just makes it all the sweeter! :D

It's good to see Lily so happy... I think she deserves it...
You know that light at the end of the tunnel?

Yeah... it's a bullet. Sorry.

The whole family seems happy these days, well as long i guess as a hungry griffin dont wander by and eat them.

You honestly think a gryphon stands a chance against Castela and Atsali?

Or Kath's "Mean Momma Voice"?

I suspect the same. But, it could also be world building, or a red herring u.

Only Paul knows for now.

They call Castela the Stinkweed, but apparently we're all the smelly ones as far as she's concerned.

It's plain to see that trying to hide cleavage cookies is a futile exercise, for Atsali... No wonder Castela always found them...

Hmm. . .since the students at the school are apparently the Gryphons, I wonder how much of those characteristics Castela was mentioning apply to her sister as well? Though trying to pluck Atsali's plumage to experiment with might be a tad hazardous.

Blimey, I just realized: a beak like that could crush bone without a problem. That is a powerfully constructed animal.

And apparently they are water resistant, too. So they can fly in the rain and possibly swim. Hmm.

A large macaw can crush bones it can get its beak around - like your finger.

In "Emergence", protagonist Candi Foster writes that she was quite certain that if she left her Hyacinthine Macaw companion alone with a one-cubic-meter block of sintered tungsten carbide, she'd come back to find a macaw with enthusiasm undamped, and a large pile of tungsten carbide dust.

Sounds like Jame in P.C.Hodgell's books - her brother once said that if she were left alone, he'd probably come back to find the Riverlands in ruin, and Jame standing in the middle of it looking vaguely apologetic.

This is the girl who destroyed a god and then brought him back, just as experiment.
