Now, Let's count up your sins!

[Guu]

Standing behind the counter at the library reception was a strange creature. She stood on all fours. Her back end and back legs were that of a horse, while the front half was that of a hawk. Adorned on her long curved beak were a pair of red spectacles. The spotted black on brown feathers on her head were arranged in the bowl cut fashion, which was parted down the middle to make way for a long horn that was protruding out of her forehead. She darted her golden eyes towards the entrance as the masked man entered.

"I'm looking for information!" He loudly proclaimed, but then he looked on in shock at the beast before him. She only glared sarcastically back.

"Never seen a horned hippogriff before?" She asked, cocking an eyebrow. "Griffon on my dad's side, unicorn on my mom's, I was guessing you couldn't figure it out."

Suddenly, a large sound blares as a red warning signal flashes at the desk. She sighs heavily as her horn flickers with a magical glowing aura. Several books float on their own and down an incinerator shoot to the sudden woosh of the flame as the paper hits the fire.

"Stupid cutbacks." She grumbles to herself. She turns to the rider. "Anyways, my name is Glen. Dataverse terminals are at the far east end, that's where everyone else is. However, if you actually want a book, that's why I'm here, for now at least."

Silence fell between the two.

"Sorry, it's my last day here, I have a right to be a grump."
