A tawny young griffin the size of a golden retriever trots into a room where a computer and an office chair sit in a corner. He jumps into the chair, spins around a few times, then stares at the computer a moment before placing a foot on the mouse and logging onto fanfiction.net. He opens up the Settings page, looks it over, then shrugs, takes his foot off the mouse, extends a talon, and begins typing with it.

Iorek nods, satisfied. Then he cocks his head, feeling that there is something missing. He remembers it would be a good idea to include the author and continues typing.

Iorek nods again and puts the profile up. Then he wonders if he should have asked Griffin kid if she wanted to add or subtract anything from it before he submitted it. Her voice calls to him. ‘Iorek! Are you ready to go yet?’ Iorek shrugs, deciding he will tell her later, then flies out of his chair and out the door.
