He does, Jigano agreed fervently, wishing their mutual friend could have some of the happiness that they had found. At least Aoife's playfulness provided a welcome distraction for them both as she reclaimed her dominion over the courtyard and her slain prey, and the raven let out an almost-human chuckle aloud as she admonished Remi with her mighty blade.
Alas, the mighty princess was soon captured, and Jigano relaxed a little when it became clear that the alchemist had his adoptive daughter well in hand - and far from the raven's feathers. He nodded eagerly as Remi began his demonstration, watching with focused curiosity as the flower unfurled its leaves and sprang to full bloom as swift as the alchemist's power could draw it forth. It was his first time seeing the growth-based magic up close, and the raven chirred in delight at the display. Then the colors shifted, and it became something else entirely and--
This is excellent! The raven croaked, hopping with delight. If you can transform the plants beneath the Spire so they don't make poison anymore, we won't have to kill them! Though I'll still ask the others to come, just in case. And we don't know how difficult it will be or how long it will take, so having Vai to blow the gas away while you work is better safe than sorry. There was no point putting themselves in further danger than they had to, not if they had ways to mitigate it.
