[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.
[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.]
[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.]
[ 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.
[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.]
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.

Fuck.

The griffin's jaws snap again, this time trying to snag his jacket, the hem of his shirt, whatever.]

[he snaps, clearly at the end of his rope.
but also-- it does pull him slightly off balance]

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...

The griffin just starts spamming Appel barks, trying to get Jason to stop - all futile, except in making Shrike paralyzed.]
no subject
[sorry buddy, he's rushing out, before he does get Appel blocked.
enjoy the jacket.]
no subject
that’s where we are right now.
Hm. ]
no subject
he's just gonna squirm and yelp and yell until it wears off]

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]
