Jigano reminded him of the location of his rooms and shook him off; Sam shuffled off his back embarrassed and sheepishly rubbed his neck. "Oh. Sorry." Trying to be casual, he leaned against the stable divider behind him.
He felt doubly stupid when it was explained to him what was meant by 'gold'. Of course a bird wouldn't be interested in necklaces and cups...his hand moved to his chin as he tried to look thoughtful rather than mortified while he considered it. "I suppose I shall have to go and find some corn then. We could ask the Vizier if we could find him, or...maybe..."
Sam plunged his hand into a nearby feed bag, bringing out a handful of grains and oats, with some corn mixed in. "Do you think this would do? It's hardly grand, but birds...they aren't usually picky." He collected some in his pocket, as much as he could.
Taking Jigano's reins, he began to walk back to the courtyard. "So you think if we walk back here with enough ...i-intent, I suppose, we could make it time to collect our things?"
