Books, Spiders and Griffins

"I'm here to return these books miss!" squeaked Amber as she lifts herself on the very tips of her craws to place the books on the counter for the librarian to take.

"My my... such the eager reader you are... you must make your parents proud" she croaked, putting a grandmotherly smile for her as she slid the books away.

"Yep!" happily cheered Amber "My mom likes to brag about how much I read for not even being one year old yet!"

This proclamation caught the old kindly lady off guard, clearly surprised by something she said. At first she thought she may have been a little too loud but then deduced that she may have expected her to have far older. After all, despite her spidery bits she would like a girl of the age of eleven or twelve. Even her best friends often forget that she has yet to seen her first birthday.

"Oh... sorry if I was a little too loud." apologized in a whisper Amber, just in case she was too loud afterall "I'm going to go look at some more books. T-thank you!"

The lady just smile and nodded before resuming her previous work. Amber quickly skittered off randomly down one of the many aisles. As she looked around... she noticed that she rushed into the historical section of books. While this wasn't her intended destination, now that she was here she might as well take a gander. Afterall, she liked learning about history and she hoped that next school year they would go more in depth with world history. At first glance, all of the books surrounding seem interesting... even if they are a bit dusty.

Amber was used to seeing all sorts of body shapes on the island but... as she made her down aisle can't help but gawk at tiny fluffy griffin creature looking at books. It was so... small! It was wearing a hat! It was just to adorable for her handle! So while the griffin was too busy searching for books, the spider girl stated at him in wonder and awe, inching stealth-fully closer to him until there was only a few feet of distance between them. Now that she was so close she... she should say something before he judges her to be creep of sorts. But... what to ask him?

"Sooo... you like history books too?" she asked, it was... well something to get the conversation started at least. She could feel her mouth contorting into some sort of stupid grin but she couldn't help but feel excited for meeting a baby griffin! Okey prehaps not a baby but he would appear to be a child in her eyes for she imagine griffins to be way bigger. Yet for one so young they seem rather well read and... and they looked SO super fluffy up close! She wanted to pet them... would that be too rude to ask?

Amber was a little embarrassed at this point, if her rosy cheeks were not already a big give away ready. She really wanted to say it was her love of history which is true but... she had to admit to herself that she really wander down her just to say hello to the baby Griffin. Okay perhaps he wasn't exactly a baby but he still struck her as young at least.

"Oh... well I was hoping to find book about Roman history but... I saw you down here so I wanted to say hi." stated Amber smiling to the griffin before she continued "Say hi and... m-maybe let me pet your feathers a little?" admitted Amber, grinning sheepishly. She didn't want to appear rude but... his feathers looked so FLUFFY that she must pet them!

"I mean... if you allow m-me that is. I-ifs that rude I'm sorry... I just... never a griffin before!" she squeaked happily, before covering her mouth with her hands as she realizes that she maybe has been a bit too loud in her excitement.
