Dialogue
Wh— Where did you come from!? Get back, quickly!
...How odd. Generally speaking, this gryps would sooner gore you than look at you. Did your creator imbue you with a special talent for soothing savage beasts, perchance?
Curious indeed... I daresay this calls for further experimentation. I don't suppose you would be willing to attempt a flight on its back?
I hope that the gryps will find use as a mount, you see—but its aggression toward unfamiliar faces has precluded any real trials thus far. Please, consider it.
You are willing to ride the gryps? Splendid! We can begin immediately—assuming you have your preferred riding trousers on.
Are you—and your trousers—ready to ride the gryps?
The both of you have wonderfully relaxed riding postures. What say you to a little tour of Elpis?
Noetophoreon's beauty is ever striking. Note the blossoms, which change according to Elpis's seasons and aetherial balance. A true masterwork.
The gryps seems quite content. A result of the flowers' sweet perfume and your masterful handling, no doubt.
These beacons are crucial to our operations here in Elpis—and make convenient lodestars for flying specimens under observation. Successful concepts sight them from a distance, and can approach without hesitation.
The gryps has passed that test with flying colors, so let us return to solid ground.
An elegant landing! Another mark in favor of the gryps's utility as a mount.
I believe I have the data I need. Thank you for your cooperation.
I'm sure you are curious as to what today's trial means for our friend here. If you like, we can speak further back at the Wonders.
Welcome back. You will be pleased to know that based on these results, I am confident the gryps can be trained to become the perfect mount. It scorns unfamiliar or clumsy hands, yes, but so long as it trusts its rider, it serves her/him incomparably.
Given Hermes's own expertise, flying creatures are always subject to immense scrutiny before approval. Even so, I have no doubt that our proud friend will pass muster.
