[video] UN: danslalune
[The camera is rather shaky at the start of the video, through unfamiliarity with the technology. It soon straightens out to being somewhat stable, and Astolfo comes into view.]
Hey, everyone! Guess what!
[He's breathless with excitement, going faster than his words can really keep up.]
Astolfo airlines is noooooooow OPEN!!
[With a dramatic flair, he quickly turns the camera to show a Hippogriff, stabled and calm. Off-camera, Astolfo's voice can still be heard, though in a hushed whisper:]
Come on, do the thing!
[After a moment, the beast spreads its wings out, and lets out a cry similar to that of an eagle. Astolfo then turns the camera back on himself, absolutely beaming.]
Come down to the stables if you want to meet him! I promise his friendliness on my worth as a Rider!
[Which may not be much, depending on who you ask.]

action!
My goodness. He's quite impressive.
[... If Astolfo has any mild déjà vu from this, there's probably a good reason for that.]

Wait, no...this is the other one, with less hair. Astolfo's on top of it, now.]
I know, right? [He scratches under the Hippogriff's chin, which it leans into, arching its neck upwards so he can scatch further.] The most majestic of beasts!
no subject
[He offers a hand for the hippogriff to investigate before doing any petting.]
I've only handled horses and wyverns back home... [Never mind that only one of those flies.]
no subject
Oh! [Now he's interested.] Wyverns are cool! They're not as soft as Hippogriffs, but...you had one?!
no subject
I did. Quite the lovely creature, too. A friend taught me how to handle one a while back after I'd expressed interest in learning to do so.
[Which was after an... interesting quest to try and find said friend's wyvern a mate. That was... quite the adventure. But, at least he'd come out of the experience with a new appreciation for them.]
no subject
[Dragons, Wyverns, same deal.]
Aren't they uncomfortable to sit on? With all the bumpiness and scales?
no subject
[
Basically, fuck the game models that say Wyvern Riders don't have those is what I'm saying.]Honestly, if anything's a concern when it comes to a wyvern, it's their temperament...
no subject
[He sounds more amused at the prospect than concerned.]
no subject
[And yet, he says all of that so fondly...]
no subject
And from then on you two became inseparable, right?
no subject
... Or at least that was the case until I got brought here... But who knows, maybe she'll turn up eventually and I can introduce you to her.
no subject
...Let's just hope they'll get along

[He pauses for a moment.]
I should really give him a name, shouldn't I?
