"They really shouldn't be allowed. Inessa and I have tried to change Potato's name, but it's been a futile cause, so now it's... stuck." He'd have hoped for something much fiercer, but so be it. He loves her too much now to mind it as much, anyway.

He looks thoughtfully at Potato now, the griffon giving him an inquisitive stare right back, before she makes a rather cute griffon noise, nudging him to ask for more food. Of course. Kain gives her some, petting her head vigorously, just in the way she likes it. He glances back over toward Carver. "It's an instinct of some sort... you feel it inside, the same way you feel..." He pauses, looking uncomfortable, because he is not usually inclined to discuss feelings. "If you've ever been in love, it's similar to that. You just feel this sense inside that you know to be true. The griffon will also make it known, too, they'll become more affectionate, and will let you know it's time to ride them. They'll never allow it before, it's always their call."
