[The attempt to push him away earns Jason aggressive barking - whereupon the griffin immediately pushes his full body weight (which is surprisingly light?) onto him and lies down.

Any attempt to move will be met with growls.]

[mind_blown]

[he just stares at him for a moment, and then decides he'll pull out his phone. just to answer that text that he received.

you know what?

yes. let shrike deal with this. he was done.

but he just stares at the dog, his expression annoyed and hardened.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[The griffin isn't moving. It lays his head down in its claws and gets comfortable. Not sleeping, just-- it's lying down time now. No one's allowed to leave. They're just gonna stay here, where it's safe.]

[mind_blown]

[he is definitely moving, shoving him off of him again so that he can sit up.

he knows you remember, Griffin.

and he's not sorry for anything.]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[This time, the griffin barks with Appel in his voice - freezing Jason and stubbornly pushing him back down to lie on his face.

He's not giving up without a fight, fuck you.]

[softlyfalling]

[ hey knock knock y'all didn't lock the door did you

but someone's here with emergency jerky ]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[The griffin raises his head when Shrike comes in, alerted to the presence of jerky

but does not get up. Just whines at her like, make him stay]

[mind_blown]

[as promised, he is dizzy, and he is definitely pushing away from griffin]

[softlyfalling]

[ she gives the jerky another shake, and comes to sit down next to griffin (loaf) and jay (escape-attempting), holding out one strip of meat. ]

Hey, love, here's one for being good in advance, all right?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Nnnno, make Jason stay though. He really wants the jerky but Jason's Trying To Leave...!!

He tries to bite Jason's sleeve again, tugging him down - and maybe the dizziness from Kydoimos Din might make him staggered, but all this was really just the efforts of an anxious dog who didn't want to be left alone.]

[mind_blown]

Let go.

[he snaps, clearly at the end of his rope.

but also-- it does pull him slightly off balance]

[softlyfalling]

[ distraction pats. nice skritch behind the ears. ]

I know, you're going to miss him, right? I don't know what happened, but you're not going to be alone, though. And you don't understand a word I'm saying, of course, and this still never gets less weird, but there'll be calmer times to work things out.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[His jaws still won't let go of the sleeve, so - this jacket might just be a lost cause. But the griffin whines this time, instead of growling - scared, pained whines that stubbornly didn't want to just accept that Jason so clearly wanted to leave.]

[mind_blown]

[he will absolutely shuck the jacket off. let him keep it.

for now, he just wanted out. as the din was wearing off, appel would start to work again.

and he didn't want to deal with that-- so as soon as the jacket is off, he stands up quickly, with only the minorest of stumbles]

Think you've got it...

[to shrike, even if he can't hear her, he can read her lips]

[softlyfalling]

[ oddly quickly: ] Of course.

I’m sure he’ll be back to himself before too long—if you don’t mind leaving the jacket, it’ll probably help to have the smell. I can get it back to you later.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[ :C!!!

The griffin just starts spamming Appel barks, trying to get Jason to stop - all futile, except in making Shrike paralyzed.]

[mind_blown]

Sure.

[sorry buddy, he's rushing out, before he does get Appel blocked.

enjoy the jacket.]

[softlyfalling]

[ guess she’s just physically stuck giving this catbirddogboyfriend a hug now so

that’s where we are right now.

Hm. ]

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Well okay, some smart guy just trapped himself in a paralysis hug

he's just gonna squirm and yelp and yell until it wears off]

[softlyfalling]

[ babie.

well, he can probably still get at the bag o' jerky, and once it wears off, she'll offer him one and tuck the jacket around him. ]

...have you even ever gotten into a relationship argument before...?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Still can't understand you, even in this form

But he'll gnaw dejectedly on the jerky, if only to direct his big anxiety energy at something.]

[softlyfalling]

[ listen, it's weird to treat him entirely like he's a dog or whatever and not talk to him, but: she just sort of sits there giving him skritches and jerky with one hand and texting people with the other ]

[we_meet_again]

[Not much later, there's a light knock at the door]

[softlyfalling]

[ hey griffin hey pretty please follow me and all this jerky to come get the door ]

Cobalt? Cobalt.

[mind_blown]

[FUCK? YOU?

he! doesn't want to din himself again! But he will.

and as soon as he can move again, that is precisely what he does.]

Of all the fucking times for you to decide you like me too.

[but hey, appel sure ain't gonna work anymore]
