Ako grimaces as Cain half-pulls her along, the diamond dog too busy avoiding the crowds to pay attention to the gryphon. She wriggles out of his grip as he talks to some pompous pony, gasping softly as her wings catch for a moment. As she takes a few steps back and starts falling behind the diamond dog and the others, the gryphon nearly gets run over by a stampede of smaller equines rushing off to another part of the library. Ako gets jostled, spun around and knocked over.
"Ah! H.. hey! Watch-..."
She gets up, disoriented and confused as she tries to find the others. Before she can do anything else, another group of ponies rush by her flanks, hitting her tail and causing Ako to yelp and spin around.
"Stop that! I..."
A unicorn mare behind the gryphon then squeals loudly, rushing a writer elsewhere for autographs. Ako grimaces, then scowls, then growls. She pulls out her returned sword from its wrapping, swinging it blindly around her to clear a space. It misses ponies by inches, slicing apart one colt's rather long tail and cutting another pony's book in half.
"SHUT UP!" The swordsgryphon bellows into the air, shaking the building with the volume of her voice amplified by the opera implant. The walls reverberate, causing the sound to deafen nearly everyone in the room, an unnatural silence falling as the raging gryphon glares about the room, standing on her hind legs with one clawed hand holding her repaired sword and the other clenching at air.
