[Owen has clearly been dealing with some sort of mini emergency, if his ruffled state and the feathers clinging to his vest and pants is any indication. There's even a few in his hair that he's trying to get out as he sets his tablet-mark down, giving it a grin.]
Figured it was about time I introduce myself since so many people have been showing up lately.
[Now that he's done messing with his hair he gives a slight salute.]
Name's Owen Grady. Some of you may know me, some of you probably won't have any idea who I am. I'm an assistant librarian here. I cover pretty much any of the non-fiction sections that have to do with animals and the like so if you need something or notice something's up, get in touch with me.
[A chattering growl comes from somewhere out of view and Owen rolls his eyes fondly as he reaches out to tilt the tablet.
Beside him, coming up to about his knee, is a miniaturized version of a velociraptor with pale blue-gray stripes running down her sides laterally. She tilts her head, eyes narrowing at the screen as she snaps her jaws.]
This is Blue, one of the raptors I worked with back home. Don't let her size fool you--she's only that big here in the library. If we go anywhere else, she ends up her full size again.
[The tablet is righted again and Owen grins once more.]
Like I said, if you need anything, Blue and I are here to help.

She's beautiful and brilliant.
Hallo, Blue.
[Ten gives her a smile and finger wave and then does the same to Owen. There's also clever grinning at Owen because that is impressive to have a creature that clever to listen to Owen.]
Hallo, Owen. I'm The Doctor.
[Fireworks or rather gears are clearly turning in his mind as seen in those brown and ancient eyes and thinking about how dinosaurs and humans are able to co-exist. Even if that's also at the same time bothering The Doctor because fixed point in time - at least in his universe about dinosaurs going extinct]
How is it you two met?
[This also confirms that certain things only work in the book worlds and not in the Library.]

The raptor clicks softly, curiously, as she peers at the screen before she snaps her jaws in something of a greeting.]
That's a good greeting, I promise. [Owen kneels down then so they'll both in view of the tablet and gives the other man a bit of a salute.] Nice to meet you, Doctor.
[Doctor of what, he's not going to ask. He's well aware that some individuals that pass through here are just what they are.]
I was brought in to work at the park where Blue was born. Where I'm from, dinosaurs have been brought back to life through genetic splicing, fertilizing bird eggs with the spliced genetic material and some other things that probably should have never been implemented.
[Blue's head swivels and she lets out a rumbling growl which gets a huff of laughter out of Owen as he reaches over to stroke her head.]
You know what I mean, Blue. [And then he's looking at the tablet again.] I was in charge of behavioral testing and training with Blue and her sisters.

[Then Ten begins to pierce his lips as soon as ' genetic splicing, fertilizing bird eggs with the spliced genetic material'. Really the human species so beautiful creative and so incredibly stupid at the same time and there's a slight head nod at 'probably should have never been implemented' as his lips loosen back up. Really the human species so creative and so incredibly stupid at the same time]
You have a lot of respect thar for yourself if you're training a pack of them. Though I'm more impressed that you're aware of just because you can doesn't mean you should. Got yourself a good head on your shoulders, Owen.

It has nothing to do with respect for myself. It's all about having respect for them. Blue and her sisters are extremely intelligent. Most people disregard animals as mindless things that wander around but I've never felt like that. I know better.
[The raptor beside him let's out a soft rumble and bumps his leg with her snout, clicking her jaws as she looks rather pleased with his answer. It gets a smile out of him before he's looking at his bookmark again and his expression turns a bit more serious.]
If I wasn't aware of that, I probably would be dead by now. What the scientists at the park were doing..it got out of hand. Ended up destroying the park but honestly? It was just a matter of time before one of their creations broke the boundaries.
