Desperation and hope, confusion and excitement, fear and disbelief; Jigano was glad he wasn't still in his fox form, or he wondered if he would smell that conflicting cocktail of scents coming from the polite young man who had found his way into the early morning forest. He tilted his head at the human, studying him thoughtfully as he tried to guess which of the races his soul had manifested into, but until someone displayed their powers it was usually impossible to tell just from looking...
Well. Aside from Ascended. The first rays of sunlight didn't seem to be causing the newcomer any distress, so that could be chalked off the list.
The dark grey head tilted the other direction as he watched the reaction to his words, and he bobbed his head in an affirming nod at the confirmation of what he had said. The other man's hair was almost as long as his, he noted with a little flicker of approving amusement. He would have to find a way to gift him a brush as he started to settle in... But before that, the stranger was asking important questions, and Jigano rattled a chirring chuckle, startling the songbirds around them into scolding alarm calls for a few minutes as golden sun dripped through the Leafchange foliage in warm red and oranges, though plenty of green still remained. This would be easier if you could hear me, he thought through the Attuned mental link, his voice tentative and reluctant still at using it with a stranger, and only trying it because he was more than half-certain it wouldn't work.
"Come," he croaked aloud as well, orienting himself from the direction of the Spire and then fluttering to a branch a few feet further on. "Town!"
