 Hualpa's eyes narrowed as the gryphon jerked and shuddered. Muttering under her breath about 'equestrian medicine' she advanced upon the griffon and dog.  She paused when Ako caught sight of her and simultaneously tried to shy away, take an aggressive posture, and winced from the contradicting actions.

The llama sighed, "Look, your wings are bothering you, right? Equestrians don't seem to understand that different winged animals have different ligatures..." she noted the blank looks she recieved and sighed, "A griffon wing isn't a pegasus wing writ large, a sling meant for a pony isn't quite right for you. I can fix it, a little, if you let me."

Meanwhile Atok frowned for his own reasons as he looked at the blue stallion. "R-really, the Doctor isn't here? And..." the llama's eyes flicked over the greatly reduced group of travelers, "...as well as Sharp Wit, Caine, and the ... purple one?" The adolescent ran a hoof over his forehead, "That's not... I don't... what?"

Hunter looked over the group with an odd sort of grin, "Hey, not that standing here like a fifth leg isn't entertaining, but it looks like there are a pair of ponies who are trying to be nonchalant while staring at us." The unicorn performed what was probably the worst covert head-jerk-as-pointing in history. Oddly enough, a blue pegasus stallion and goldenrod unicorn mare near the street corner responded by trying to duck behind a streetlamp.
