Atom goes to pick up the talon and as he stands up he thinks for a moment that he misheard Link's question.
"Can you ride a tiger?" he repeats, just to be sure. He laughs uneasily. "I wouldn't recommend it. Tigers have never been domesticated, they're powerful enough to injure or kill an adult human, and I don't know if their backs would be strong enough to carry an adult for very long either. Maybe a kid. That would probably make the tiger mad though."
He can imagine his sister pulling it off, however. He better not tell her about the idea or she'd want to go to the zoo to ask the tigers immediately, even if it was simply to pose for a photo.
"Why do you ask? Do you ride large beasts at home?" Atom has to ask where this curiosity is coming from.
