Well... if you're offering! :-)

I dunno. You've a history of being unpredictable ... especially if your hungry. I'd better not take the chance, fun as it might be.

Still, I've often wondered if a dragryphon's leg scratches the air if you hit the right spot. :D

*growls lightly* I think my reaction to being used in some sort of experiment will be very predictable indeed. So you better make amends by rubbing my belly before it gets hungry.

Yikes! ... I don't know ... Getting that close to an unpredictable (or in some cases predictable) Dragryphon is a dangerous proposition at best. Those claws and teeth look awfully sharp. While I may have the purest of intentions for an innocent belly rub, I fear the potential repercussions and the ability of a dolphin to "out-run" a dragon-gryphon hybrid. :D LOL!

What if I promised not to claw or bite you... not even a little bit?

*ponders* I dunno. That still leaves a lot ground uncovered. I've learned that one should never attempt to match wits against dragons or gryphons -- for theirs is far sharper than the finest honed blade or fiercest tooth and claw. And here's a hybrid of both species playing "innocent" and "harmless" ... *Hears the audience yelling "Don't be a fool! Don't do it!"*

I've the strangest feeling things would not end well for a certain marine mammal. ;)

Ooooh... fine... be like that. My back was beginning to hurt anyway... :-(

Still not falling for it, puppy dragryphon eyes or not. ;) ... See, that's what happens when your life's back-story has been chronicled by some author. Very interesting ... but SCARY! :D

Now if I were a dragon, fully able to protect myself, I wouldn't be so overprotective. But, I am rather fond of still living! :P

Well! If you have read all those annoying stories, then you should know I'm perfectly nice sometimes. You just missed your chance now!

Ah well. That's the lot of the overly careful. Missed opportunities in exchange for remaining in one piece. ;)

It's too bad Yogo doesn't have a way of showing whether he's being nice or not ... from a distance! ;)

Do they make mood rings for dragons?! :P

Perhaps another time, another place ... :)

Well... you could always just ask?

Flattened ears, growls, protracted fore claws, bared teeth... all good clues I'm in a bad mood.

Fine, fine, FINE! ... *huffs* Were you in a good mood? ... Are you still in a good mood? ... Are you planning on being NOT in a good mood anytime soon? ... Is there anything that will change your mood from good to NOT good faster than I can successfully flee? ;) ... Did I miss anything? :P

*stiffles a frustrated growl*

If you want to rub my belly... just DO IT!

Are you always this indecisive? *laughs showing off his set of sharp teeth*

Alright, alright ... I'll take the laugh as a good mood.

*gently and carefully gives the Dragryphon a thorough belly rub*

*Hmms* Hybrids are most interesting indeed ... taking the best parts of both parents and combining them into something truly unique. :)

I am, of course, honored for the privilege.

*sighs in bliss*

Aaaah... I could get used to this...

*smiles* Glad I could brighten your day!

*continues giving belly rubs as long as the Dragryphon is content*

Do it! It's amazing... just wriggle like no one's watching... hang on... you're watching me! :o

I swear I saw nothing! >.<

Wait...*ponders* Like so? *Lays on the ground akwardly leaving the pawns on the air*

Feels... rather nice but weird at the same with you watching me ´w´

Well... now you've noticed me watching you, it IS weird!

To be honest, I was admiring your yellow under wings and the yellow crests above your eyes...

*looks awkward*

Ha! thank you, but nothing can compare to those feathers of yours, can I haz one?

*growls*

Can you have one? Can you-

*takes a breath*

I... I probably have a damaged one somewhere...

*searches through his wings and eventually plucks out a fairly small brown feather, leans his head forward and offers the feather*

I think... I just ruined this first impression... *leands head forward slowlyand takes the feather, then examining it further on his claws*
Aaah, it is unlike any other gryphon feather i've ever seen before, thank you *smiles a bit*

*licks as you take the feather and grins*

Don't worry, I get quite protective at times. My mistake.
