"I will live the way I want to live, don't repremand me," Ryan said, his voice even and cold, like it always was. He turned his eyes back into the fireplace as well.

Riikae opened his beak to say something, but Rosa elbowed him hard. She sat against the gryphon's side, quietly eating her dinner.

Ryan smirked softly. The bird-thing seemed to have a mouth on it, even if it couldn't speak properly. "What brings you in here?" he asked them, for once, bored of silence.

Riikae waited a minute to see if Rosa wanted to start answering questions for a change. When it looked like she wasn't going to, the gryphon answered instead.
"We'rrre living herrre."

"Why?" he asked, closing his eyes and taking in the forest around them, attempting to hear if there was anything out there. By now, it was pure habit to do so.

Riikae gryph-grinned. He was ready to give Ryan smart retorts all over again. "Why nottt? Lovely foresssttt. Plenttty of game." The gryphon's tone of voice was non-chalant and oh so innocent.

Ryan shrugged. "I wasn't particularly talking to you," he stated, his eyes opening and settling onto the girl who was still sheltered behind the bird-thing.

"Buttt I ssspeak for my winglesssss sssisssttter asss well asss myssself." Riikae answered, pinning the man with his hawk-like eyes.
"Riikae's right." Rosa said softly at the same time, still not meeting Ryan's eyes.

"So you share one mind, then?" he asked them, raising an eyebrow. He felt an almost un-denyable twitch to reach for his daggers so he could impale these creatures, luckily, he had a bit more self-restraint then that.

Riikae burst out laughing. It took a while for Riikae to calm down again.
Rose finally stared at the man. "We do not." she said indignantly, which caused the gryphon to laugh again.
Finally Riikae said, "Indeed nottt. Ttthough I can rrread ttthoughtttsss sssometttimesss, we do nottt sssharrre one. I meerrrly sssaid ttthattt Rrrosssa isss like my youngerrr sssisssttterrr."

"As I recall, you also said that you speak for her. Which would mean being able to read, or be in her mind, at all times," he stated, his hands travelling down to his hips, where his daggers were hanging.
He took a deep breath, they weren't attempting to read his mind yet. Calm down, you idiot, it took a lot more effort then it should have to get his body to obey.

"I can, buttt I wouldn'ttt. I do have ettthicsss, you know." Riikae narrowed his eyes at Ryan, stretching a wing over Rosa. He had seen the man resting his hands on hidden daggers. Without being threatening, the gryphon flexed one forleg, each of his talons were as long as most daggers.
"Becaussse one hasss ttthe abilittty to rrread ttthoughtttsss, doesssn'ttt rrrequirrre ttthat one hasss ttto rrread ttthem. Frrankly, mosssttt people ttthink abouttt ttthe mosttt tttrrrivial ttthingsss."

Ryan nodded, pulling his hands away from the daggers and crossing them over his chest for something to do with them.
"Would you mind saying anything, then?" he asked Rosa, not completely comfortable with talking to the bird-thing only.

Rosa blushed and looked down. She had become so used to letting Riikae taking over any conversations. She was more comfortable with that.
"Sorry." she said very quietly.

"No need to apologise, just say something instead of allowing your guardian to speak for you," he stated, ignoring the bird-thing and watching her instead.
