Gideon nodded with appreciation. Greek mythology was a favored subject of his. Though he did like most anything dealing with ancient history. It was always interesting to read about how the ancient wizards did things. But almost as if on cue, a bright white snowy owl fluttered in from the back and perched on the counter, receiving a look from the cat as if he thought his own pets from the girl were about to be taken away.

"I do pride myself on being rather clever," he ended up saying as he pulled up a couple of treats specifically for the owl and fed them to her, "And this is Calypso. You've met my whole family now."
