"Oh, you get new sounds alright," he agreed with a chuckle. "They just aren't good ones. And it's quite a lot of work to fix the instrument after, if you ever want to use it again." What was the old saying? Something about 'if you break your toys they won't want to play with you anymore?' That held true for instruments more so than most!
He raised a brow in curiosity at what Edy's idea of a curse would be-- and had to exert every inch of his self-control not to burst out laughing. He did have to pause for a moment, tickling Isuma's head while he regained control of his breathing before he said, in a remarkably mild voice. "Well that is only basic courtesy, really. It sounds like you would use that power wisely and well, dear Blazing Baroness."
Isuma lacked an appropriately facile tongue or forepaws to clean her own face easily, and so she could only grumble, scrunching her feathery little face up as Bobi 'helped' clean her with gusto. Jigano chuckled at the sight, then blinked in surprise at the fire that suddenly appeared beneath the kettle. "Thank you, that's a handy use of that power," he murmured appreciatively, giving his friend a wry grin over his shoulder as the kettle began to bubble and sing much more quickly. Taking a thick cloth pad he lifted it and poured it into the waiting pot to saturate the tea leaves waiting within, and then brought the pot back to the table to steep while they talked.
"Hmmm. It almost sounds as if you need a change of scenery," he mused thoughtfully. "Or perhaps... what about the Monster Hunter's Guild? Don't they beat the 'shit out of monsters' and protect people? Not a daily basis, admittedly, but still..." He tilted his head to the side, an idea tickling the back of his thoughts. "Speaking of which... That compass you had, the magic one that's supposed to help find monsters or mythical creatures... think it could help track down that monster flinthopper that got away from us last time?"
