[He smiles at the woman again, shifts his gaze briefly back to the large proud bird, before returning to regard her once more and answer her question. He is far too polite to remark on her hissing "S's", though he does notice them with some curiosity.]
Yeah, she is! She's, um. Well, she's an Amethyst Spider. Normally she spends most of her time as a little figurine that fits in my hand - [And he holds up one of his hands as if to demonstrate] - and only gets this big when I summon her, but she's been like this ever since she came out of that wardrobe by the lake. Not that I'm complaining! But it's a little weird that she can't go back to being small.
[He frowns a little bit then, because he kind of gets the feeling that maybe he should be worried about that, but it's not like he can do anything about it.]
Na'na? [He takes a lot of care to mimic the first pronunciation she used; it's very important to him that he gets people's names right.] It's nice to meet you! [And now his big dumb smile makes a reappearance.] My name's Griffin O'Callahan, but please just call me Griffin.
