At least he isn't surprised anymore when Vincent doesn't recognize creatures and other phenomena that he'd thought were pretty universal. Didn't know what harpies were, and Irahl hasn't seen hide-nor-metaphorical-hair of gargoyles since he'd been teleported out of his city, so it checks out.

There's something actually kind of entertaining about explaining things that are normally too mundane for him to be interested in. He sees gargoyles as little more than giant, ill-tempered street dogs, but maybe someone who doesn't have to clean up the trouble they cause will get a kick out of them.

"Big monster kind of made out of stone. Might be fun to try out that sword of yours on."

...In fact, the more that he thinks about it, the more he realizes that he would love to see Vincent fight a gargoyle.
