vindicarthehippogriff asked: "I'm really sorry to hear that, my friend." Vindicar pulls ex-pegasus into hug. "There is a feature nearly all flying species share." Hippogriff says as he pokes griffon's chest slightly. "Muscles covering the chest are ones that move wings down. As you can guess, they are very tough, so it's pretty useless to punch or pierce griffon's chest. If you are pinned down and must defend yourself, your best chance is either to try and reach for throat or hit more vulnerable belly with your hind legs."
“Mmm… I never actually told you that story, huh?” The pegasi griffon hugs him back. Then nods as he listens “I actually noticed the thing about chest, never thought why it is like that tho. And noted, I will remember in case anything ever happens.”

vindicarthehippogriff asked: "Another thing I can tell you is that griffons aren't good runners. They can be good sprinters, but any prolonged run will tire them out more than the flight for the same distance. Ponies, even pegasi, are much better at it." hippogriff smirks as he brushes his wing against his companion's side. "So they certainly have their weaknesses. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I'll try to answer as good as I can."
He laughs “That could be useful, if I was a good runner. I am not a sports-pony sooooooo, yeah.” Chuckles lightly at the wing-brush “I see. As for questions… I don’t really know what to ask. So far I know griffons can’t manouver as good as pegasi, they can’t see stationary objects that good from a distance and they tire out easily when running. Dunno what else I could ask here. Surely nothing combat related because if anything I’d rather run away” He then sighs “Darn childhood trauma…”
vindicarthehippogriff asked: "It certainly does. Look, we're almost there!" Vindicar says as he lands at the clearing and looks around. "Lovely place, isn't it?"
The usually-pegasus griffon descends but right before grorund slows down, remembering what was said earlier. Still lands rather heavily, with a slight gasp. He then looks around and nods in agreement “That it sure is.”
I have no idea what this is about but i like it

vindicarthehippogriff asked: "Well, while foreclaws lack precision of unicorns' telekinesis or sensitivity of earth pony mouths, they are prehensile and strong enough to do things. I still find it a bit weird how some pegasi can use their wings that way..." Vindicar pauses and adds, "In fact, I'm surprised you can walk and speak pretty much normally despite lacking experience of living in griffon body. I guess it's the effect of anon magic."
“Well, there is nothing that can best a trained unicorn’s telekinesis at precision. As for that…” He sighs “I can’t explain how it’s possible. I just… can use my wings that way, that’s all I can say” After that he seems to think “You know, it’s probably that. I mean, this body is heavier and constructed a bit differently, yet I didn’t have any problems running around and talking. Possible that anon magic affects muscle memory?”

vindicarthehippogriff asked: "Yep, just like that. While pegasi can soar too, griffons can do it easier. That allows them to cover large distances with relatively small efforts. But it's slower than regular flight." Vindicar stops and closes his eyes a bit, enjoying the wind playing in his feathers. "By the way, how do you find your new forelimbs?"
“I see, that’s a rather useful skill, especially for such flight-oriented race” He nods and then looks at his… claws? “Well, those are certainly different than what I’m used to”
vindicarthehippogriff asked: Hippogriff smirks. "I meant that I see orange one better myself, so I thought you should do too. Anyway, we have to get to the Whitetail. You can save your strength if you'll soar, just like me."
“Ah. I’m sorry then.” After that he just nods and tries to mimick your wings movements.
vindicarthehippogriff asked: "Hmmm, I guess your eyes are better than mine then. What I know for sure is that many predators are sensitive to motion. Griffons may be a bit worse at telling apart similar colors - something ponies apparently good at - but they certainly can see moving objects in better details than still ones." Vindicar sighs a bit. "I guess my eyesight is hybrid too."
“Not sure if really better. Maybe it’s because I’m really a pony and not a griffon?” Or mod being an idiot and not knowing “And hey, you did see both of them, so don’t be so harsh on yourself”
vindicarthehippogriff asked: "Well, right now you can test something else." hippogriff says as he looks down. "Look down and to the left. There are foals playing near the school. You should be able to see them from this height. Now tell me, which one you can see better: that orange pegasus filly scooting around or gray earth pony standing pretty much still and watching?"
“Huh?” He looks where Vindicar told him too and notices said fillies “Well, I’d say I can see both just as good really…” Let’s skip the fact that the mod is not sure which filly should be seen better.
