Finally, the human bowed. She liked him. The Hippogriff bowed, too, signalling that he could come closer. She lifted her head and waited for him.

She moved forward, inch by inch, keeping her eye contact intact as she did. As she inched nearer to the hippogriff, she extended her hand. By now, she was just a few inches away from the creature. She closed the distance, still looking at those orange orbs, and brought her hand near it's beak. NOW WE WAIT.
The hippogriff watched as the woman inched closer. Very intently, she stared, inspecting her to make sure she wasn't going to attack. She seemed safe, though. When the woman brought her hand up to her beak, the hippogriff sniffed it hesitantly...
Approved. With a little satisfied grunt, the hippogriff rubbed its beak against her hand. Love, please.

She stepped forward slowly enough not to make the hippogriff think she was charging it or something. And lifted her hand to pet her pretty head and scratch a little. All animals, the ones who would let you touch them, anyway, seemed to like a little affectionate scratch on the head.
Niiiceeee hippogriffy. Too bad she didn't have any food to give to her.
This one seemed like she was going to burst at the seams at any moment. The hippogriff was hesitant with her, too, but she let her come forward. When she lifted her hand, the hippogriff accepted the petting and the scratching with another satisfied grunt. She liked her, too.
