"A contest I am happy to participate in!" Jigano agreed with a grin, playing the joke out and deciding he would, in fact, find some small token to give as a 'prize' should one of them find another animal shift lying around somewhere nice for once.
He watched with a mixture of admiration and envy as Remi so easily transmuted the geode into translucent crystal, its shape pleasing and the crystal doing a fine job of catching and spreading the light of the alchemy inside. "Thank you," he spoke sincerely as he took the crystal in hand, slipping it back into the bag so he could carry it more easily. "I am grateful for your time and help with this." Grateful and glad, too, that they had managed a fairly peaceful and even pleasant afternoon. Two in a row? Still technically coincidence, but a third time might mean a shift in their rocky acquaintanceship towards the better, and almost to his surprise the bard found that he wasn't against that at all. "If I can help with anything, please feel free to come by the Hall again." He gave a deep nod of his head, not quite a bow, and swept up his new light for the guild, leaving the other split geode for Remi to experiment on when the time and inspiration struck. The sun was out again, puddles sparkling with reflected glory as Jigano made his way out to the street and the small gryphon waiting for him there, and the pair headed back to the Atheneum with the unexpected prize in tow.
