Mulberry backs up slightly. She makes sure to keep her eye both on the marionette and the blob. Mulberry then asks, “Why not take a break? It looks like you and your husband could use it.”
 
“Now what fun would that be?” Emilia says, carrying on. Mulberry notices that the gryphon is larger than she remembers. Quite a bit larger in fact. It’s like she’s a male gryphon, except even bigger than that.
 
“I heard you had a uh… Injury on your leg. What happened with that?” Mulberry asks, edging closer to the blob.
 
“Leg injury?” The marionette says, not missing a beat. “I’m not sure what you mean! I’m clearly fine! Look! Watch me dance!”
 
The doll proceeds to dance quicker than before. The movements lose some of their grace during this, and it becomes much more obvious that the wooden gryphon is being led around on strings.
 

 

 

 
Mulberry decides to take this on. So far, the blob on the ceiling seems like the easiest to deal with monster so far. She creeps inside, but unlike the last time she was in the room the gryphon notices her right away. Emilia does a graceful leap over to the mare, causing Mulberry to raise her gun. The dancer doesn’t seem to notice the firearm pointed at her and says, “Hello again! Hmm, you seem a bit tense. You know what would loosen you up? Dancing!”
 
Emilia’s comment confuses the mare at first, since the gryphon didn’t move her beak once while talking. While examining the half of Emilia’s head that is still there, the mare notices that the dancer’s eyes are painted on.
 
Further, she can see ball joints on Emilia’s legs and arms. Her tail is oddly segmented, and the mare thinks that the wings on this gryphon’s back are little more than decoration akin to a cape.
