Griffie explains that ey traveled around with eir friends solving problems. Ey helped figure out that someone was framing someone else for murder and prove it, introduce goblins to a better culture and convince the better culture to accept the goblins, that sort of thing. Also stuff like healing people and sharing magic information and returning some lost items.

(This isn’t lies, but it is skipping over more recent accomplishments that convey power level more.)

"That's a lot of different things. Is there one that you do most of the time?"

"When I solve problems, I need to heal, and before I solve problems, I need to learn more … ways to talk. As in, you taught me a way to talk and before I talked a different way. So I do those a lot. But I do not think there is one thing I do most of the time."

Vaal skips for a few steps.

"I do a lot of things but most of the time I take bananas to Rito Village."

Permalink

"Does Rito Village like bananas a lot?"

Now that Griffie has been inspired by Vaal's skipping, ey will use some of this form's extra speed and dexterity to fly a few circles around Vaal.

Vaal is tempted to get into a showing-off contest but does not do that. He smiles. "They like bananas a little and they can't grow them at all."

Permalink

"I think many places can't grow bananas at all and people at the stable also liked bananas a little. Are there more people in Rito Village?"

Permalink

"Yes, almost all of the Rito live there because they like... buildings that were made for Rito, better than they like buildings that were made for other people. And, besides that, there's also another stable as big as Tabantha Bridge nearby."

Permalink

"What makes a building for Rito?"

Permalink

"Up on the side of a mountain where they can jump out and fly away. Open. Lots of air. Tall instead of wide." He gestures in the relevant directions for height and width. "Some other people build wide instead of tall and have walls you can't jump out of."

Permalink

"Rito can fly?"

Permalink

"Yeah! They're birds. Most birds fly."

Permalink

"What size are they?"

Permalink

"About as big as me. They're very big birds. They're not as heavy as they look."

Permalink

"I've seen a bird larger than a horse, but it was very magic and it flew badly."

Permalink

"I've seen dragons fly that were bigger than twenty horses and had no wings and flew better than birds, but they're spirits."

Permalink

"The kind of bird is some like a spirit and some not like a spirit and people who name things 'spirit' or 'not spirit' for rules do not like it."

Permalink

"Huh. That sounds weird."

Permalink

"The kind of bird is weird, yes. I like the one I met. When you want to stop walking I can show you, but I was not as good at drawing when I saw one as I am now."

Permalink

He can stop whenever, at least for a moment.

Griffie will show Vaal a rough sketch of a bird, shown with an outline of a human for size comparison and some speculative measurement marks in an unfamiliar unit system with an unfamiliar number system.

The bird has a lizardlike tail and isn't fully feathered elsewhere, and its talons look sharp, though they're still a bit sketchy. It also, despite its clear capacity for violence, looks somewhat dorky. The gular sac isn't improving its dignity, and the fact that its feathers have been colored over after the fact with purple shading that carefully avoids some purple-outlined white spirals in a polka-dot pattern doesn't help either. (The pattern does not actually properly fit the shape of the bird, though an attempt was made. A few other pattern samples are shown off to the side, with unreadable notes.)

"That looks pretty cool! ...Is that a Hylian?"

Permalink

"I think it is not, because you and the people at the stable have sharp ears and this kind of person has round ears? But this kind of person, a 'human', is the same size as Hylians. And many other things."

Permalink

"Like Gerudo."
