Descriptions of Alex stay about the same between people- a man with sandy blonde hair and glasses, but the descriptions of the animal that's usually found in his presence varies depending on what someone has seen in their home world before that. Descriptions of Crow run from "that chicken-cat" to some more accurate descriptions of the church griffin.

Crow, an animal resembling a Maine Coon cat with added corvid attributes- namely the beak, wings and talons of a raven as forepaws, with feathers and fur blending in to each other across his body. He looks up before Alex does, head perked at a curious angle that suggests that he's at least as smart as the letter-carrying ravens. Given Jon isn't approaching his human aggressively or with food, the corgi-sized griffin stays in his classic catloaf pose with a movement of his wings that almost looks like a shrug before he starts to preen one of them with his beak.

Alex takes a second to think about the question- yes, right, he had written that up. "I am," he confirms. "I'm glad the number of nights I insisted spending in the woods as a kid is helping people avoid back pain. It's not like we've got a steady supply of anything for pain that we don't have to risk a lot more pain to go and find." He's been on a couple runs for medicinal herbs now, and happy to do it- but the risk in doing so is always pretty obvious.
