Me? The most senior Warden? What, did everyone else- [Die. Oh. Blood magic, Calling. Right. Quickly, hoping Carver doesn't notice the slip he goes on-] I can't speak for... him. But if I ever have a say in who gets a griffon to care for I'll vouch for you.

[Which means nothing given he doubts - hopes - he'll never end up in a position of sufficient authority within the Wardens to be the one in charge of something that important. But if they stumble on some griffons whilst in Wonderland, Carver strikes him as a good man and trustworthy. And he's good with animals so clearly a good choice.]

Have you told any of the others?
